Barracuda
Doro Lyrics

So this ain't the end
The singer acknowledges that this is not the end of something.

I saw you again today
The singer saw the person they are addressing again that day.

Had to turn my heart away
The singer had to guard their feelings and protect themselves from possible hurt.

You smiled like the sun
The person the artist is addressing had a bright and warm smile.

Kisses for everyone
The person the artist is addressing seems to give attention and affection easily to everyone around them.

And tales, it never fails
The person the singer is addressing usually has interesting stories to tell and these are always enjoyable.

You lying so low in the weeds
The person the singer is addressing is hiding or lurking, trying to be unnoticed or unassuming.

Bet you gonna ambush me
The artist suspects that the person they are addressing is planning to betray or harm them.

You'd have me down on my knees
The person the artist is addressing would have the power to make them submit or surrender.

Wouldn't you, Barracuda?
The artist addresses the person they are talking to as a barracuda, a predatory fish known for its aggressive behavior.

Back over Time when we were all
The singer reminisces a time in the past when everyone was struggling or attempting to overcome challenges together.

Trying for free
Everyone was trying to attain freedom, whether it be financial or social, to overcome some form of oppression.

Met up with porpoise and me
During that time in the past, the singer and a friend met or worked together with a porpoise, a type of dolphin.

No right no wrong your selling a Song
There was no sense of judgment or morality, only the act of creating and sharing music as a means for expression.

A name whisper game
The act of communication is likened to a game of whispering names, where messages and meanings may become distorted or unclear.

If the real thing don't do the trick
If something authentic or genuine does not work or succeed,

You better make up something quick
One should come up with something clever or deceiving quickly as a backup plan.

You gonna burn it out to the wick
One intends to push or drain something to its limit, which could lead to destruction or ruin.

Aren't you, Barracuda?
The singer once again addresses the person they are talking to as a barracuda, suggesting that they are capable of such actions.

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
The porpoise uttered the phrase 'sell me sell you', indicating that in trade or exchange, both parties should benefit or come out ahead.

Dive down deep to save my head
The artist implies that they and the porpoise dove into deeper waters to evade or escape danger and protect themselves.

You, I think you got the blues too
The artist thinks that the person they are addressing is also suffering from emotional pain or sadness.

All that night and all the next
The singer and the porpoise swam through the night and the following day.

Swam without looking back
The artist and the porpoise swam without regrets or second thoughts.

Made for the western pools, silly fools
The singer and the porpoise traveled towards the western side of the water, and despite any feelings of foolishness, persevered.
