beach fagz
Car Seat Headrest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up, had a boner
Dragged a comb across my boner
I said it's high time for us to experience high tide
No thanks I don't drink and oh god are you drunk
What you've done this vibrato isn't helping things much
No one should trust my statement of faith
'Cause I didn't make eye contact and I kept touching my face
Be honest
But not that honest

I think I know where the bathrooms are here
I've been going to this restaurant for 17 years
For a minute there
I thought you were twice as tall as me
You're no Spencer and I'm no Dan
But we'll sound like Wolf Parade much as we can
For a minute there
I thought you were twice as tall as me

But not that honest
Be honest

You said "why don't you just grab the brush from da Vinci
And tell him how he could be doing it better"
I said
"You're supposed to call him Leonardo"





I wish I was a kid with an adult boyfriend
I wish I was dead

Overall Meaning

The song "beach fagz" by Car Seat Headrest is a track that features the internal monologue of someone lost within their own thoughts. The opening line of the song, "Woke up, had a boner. Dragged a comb across my boner" is not meant to be taken literally but rather to explain the awkwardness and discomfort with oneself. The singer of the song makes various attempts to connect with others, but these attempts are often awkward or unsuccessful.


The line, "I said it's high time for us to experience high tide" can be interpreted to suggest the singer wanting to experience something with someone else or possibly expressing their desire for something more in their life. However, the response they receive, "No thanks I don't drink and oh god are you drunk" indicates that this attempt to connect has been met with rejection, highlighting the singer's social ineptitude.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more surreal and abstract. In the line, "You said 'why don't you just grab the brush from da Vinci and tell him how he could be doing it better.' I said 'You're supposed to call him Leonardo'" illustrates the potential misunderstandings that can arise when trying to make connections with others. The final lines, "I wish I was a kid with an adult boyfriend. I wish I was dead" seems to reveal the singer's mental state, expressing a level of discomfort and hopelessness that is often associated with depression.

Lyrics:

Woke up, had a boner
Dragged a comb across my boner
I said, "It's high time
For us to experience high tide"

No thanks, I don't drink
And, oh, God, are you drunk?
What you've done?
This vibrato isn't helping things much

No one should trust my statement of faith
'Cause I didn't make eye contact
And I kept touching my face

be honest
But not that honest

I think I know where the bathrooms are here
I've been going to this restaurant for 17 years
For a minute there
I thought you were twice as tall as me

But we'll sound like Wolf Parade much as we can
For a minute there
I thought you were twice as tall as me

Not that honest
