Out Loud Hey Hey
Bear v.s Shark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watch him walking from house to house
I am expecting the mail I am expecting it
Outside with your garbage hands
So you can bandage yourself up
Now just a little bit more.
Help in the largest layers of love
I didn't go to school there
Have for now save for later
Ring in the ear to the jungle prize fighter
Ring in a voice in the weather
Well it's been 15 years in troubled bones or maybe more
Those scenic oaks they buried me into that spider web you waited in the forest
Pushing popsicles to webs that never melt or end
You gave it all for a piece of land
Gave it all for a reason that we should believe in
The lyrics to Bear v.s Shark's song "Out Loud Hey Hey" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. However, one common theme that emerges is that of waiting and expectations. The singer begins by expressing their anticipation of receiving mail, watching for the mailman as they walk from house to house. There is a sense of urgency in this waiting - the singer seems to be on edge, waiting for something important to arrive.
The following lines are more puzzling, referring to "garbage hands" and "bandaging oneself up." It is unclear exactly what this means, but it seems to suggest some kind of injury or damage, possibly caused by the hands that handle garbage. There is a desire to fix this damage or to make it right in some way. The singer seeks help in the "largest layers of love," which could be interpreted in various ways.
The final lines of the song are more abstract, referencing a ring in the ear of a jungle prize fighter, a voice in the weather, and troubled bones. The singer speaks of being buried in oaks and waiting in a forest, and of someone who gave their all for a piece of land and a reason to believe in. Overall, the song seems to be about waiting and hoping for something important, and about the struggles and sacrifices that can come with that.
