Swan Dive
Bay Faction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Body dehydrated as I drift off
Only when I'm sleepy do I indulge
Like a dentist on vacation
Never shake a hand without conviction
Out of character my mind is mixed then
Everything I make up really hits when
I hate always talking about my money
But you gotta have enough to keep it running
Had a feeling God might be here watching so
Soak me up I’m soppping
Never shake a hand without conviction
My personality is fake and unconvincing
Swan dive into hell, body go missing
My boys addiction
I get so much enjoyment out of loving
Do you wanna be my pumpkin?
Do you wanna be my muffin?
Yeah you're so fucked up
But I never say a thing because I love ya
Do you wanna meet my mother?
Do you wanna be my fool?
Do I ever really wanna wake up?
Body dehydrated as I drift off
Only when I'm sleepy do I indulge
Like a dentist on vacation
Never shake a hand without conviction
Out of character my mind is mixed then
Everything I make up really hits when
I'm on vacation
Do I ever really wanna wake up?
Body dehydrated as I drift off
Only when I'm sleepy do I indulge
Like I'm on vacation
The song "Swan Dive" by Bay Faction captures the feeling of living in a haze, drifting through life without much conscious effort. The lyrics talk about indulging in things only when half-asleep, equating it to being a dentist on vacation. The line "Never shake a hand without conviction" suggests that the singer is not fully present in their everyday life, and their mind is often mixed up and out of character. They admit that their personality is fake and unconvincing, almost as if they are putting on a front for the world to see.
The chorus "Do I ever really wanna wake up?" expresses a longing to escape reality and stay in the sleep-like state where they indulge without consequences. There is also a hint of guilt in the lyrics, talking about the pressure to keep money flowing and the feeling of being watched by God. However, despite all the confusion and detachment, the singer finds joy in loving and accepting those around them, even if they are "so fucked up."
Overall, "Swan Dive" paints a picture of someone who feels disconnected from themselves and the world around them. They are self-aware enough to recognize their flaws and the ways in which they are not fully present in their own life. Yet, they still find meaning in moments of connection and love.

Do I ever really wanna wake up?
I'm not sure if I want to face reality
Body dehydrated as I drift off
I escape my problems through sleep
Only when I'm sleepy do I indulge
I only allow myself to enjoy life when I'm not fully awake
Like a dentist on vacation
I'm finally able to relax and take a break
Never shake a hand without conviction
I won't commit to anything unless I'm sure
Out of character my mind is mixed then
My thoughts contradict my usual behavior
Everything I make up really hits when
My creativity shines when I'm free from responsibilities
I'm on vacation
I'm living life without a care in the world
I hate always talking about my money
Money is a sensitive topic for me
But you gotta have enough to keep it running
I need money to survive
Had a feeling God might be here watching so
I feel like I need to be on my best behavior
Soak me up I’m soppping
I'm ready to be embraced
My personality is fake and unconvincing
I have trouble expressing my true self
Swan dive into hell, body go missing
I'm willing to take risks that could lead to disastrous consequences
My boys addiction
My friends struggle with addiction is weighing me down
I get so much enjoyment out of loving
Loving others brings me happiness
Do you wanna be my pumpkin?
Will you be my partner?
Do you wanna be my muffin?
Will you be someone who brings me comfort?
Yeah you're so fucked up
You have your own issues, but I accept you
But I never say a thing because I love ya
I won't judge you because my love for you is unconditional
Do you wanna meet my mother?
Do you want to be a part of my life in a meaningful way?
Do you wanna be my fool?
Will you be someone who I can be vulnerable with?
Like I'm on vacation
I'm not worried about anything and enjoying the moment

feels weird this will forever be the last bayfac song. on its release i was less than impressed with florida guilt, but swan dive feels a lot more focused and made me appreciate florida guilt for what it is. it sounded like they had come into their own and had finally decided what kind of band they wanted to be but i guess that wasn't the case. RIP bay faction
