Microscopic Dinosaurs
EARTHGANG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My blood cells are little bowls for tiny demons
water rafting up my blood streaming
for that reason I will never pass a drug screenin'
screeming, nose bleedin' everytime I'm done dreamin'
young and uneven, lungs full of what the sun breathin'
I guess that's why they gravitating to me
imagination loopy as fallopian tubbies
fuck her, pull out, and fill her mouth with a smootie, and call it breakfast
run around headless with these hundred pound peasents
gunnin' down flexs with these underground tresures
with these underground treasures, fuck it
underwater breathin'hard then I did to barvet
though I love I make her swallow key just to keep from coughing
and evil genius always pleases me
so high on e-t-v, just leave me be
with a bag of shrooms and leaky free
lickin' molly off her e-b-t
microscopic dinosaurs boil in the mud
I'm like full in the club
you'll never see me x4
and everything's a crack rock
and everything's a padlock
everything is watching
so everything's a snapshot
yo but, but you'll never see me x 3
keep these bitches guessing that's my greatest weapon
and that I ate already
cause it's like 8: 11




and she's like that's right, right there, right there
that's my favourite section

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Microscopic Dinosaurs by EarthGang are complex and obscure, painting a picture of a world where everything is topsy-turvy and nothing is what it seems. The song starts with a metaphor about blood cells being little bowls for tiny demons. This creates an eerie atmosphere, as though there is something sinister lurking beneath the surface of the song. The next line about "water rafting up my blood streaming" adds to this feeling of unease, as though the singer is being carried along by something out of their control.


The next few lines seem to reference drug use, with the singer saying they will never pass a drug screening and referencing screaming and nosebleeds. The image of lungs full of what the sun is breathing suggests a heightened sensitivity to the world around them, as though they are more attuned to their surroundings than others. The line about fallopian tubbies adds a surreal quality to the lyrics, as though everything is slightly twisted and warped.


The chorus of the song is a repetition of the line "you'll never see me", which suggests a desire to remain hidden or unseen. The reference to crack rocks and padlocks reinforces the idea that the world is a dangerous and locked-off place.


Overall, the lyrics of Microscopic Dinosaurs are enigmatic and open to interpretation. They create a world that is simultaneously full of wonder and danger, where nothing can be taken at face value.

These bars are still probably some of my favorite I've ever heard:

Keep these bitches guessing, that's my greatest weapon
And I done ate already cuz it's like 8:11
And she like that's right, right there, right there, that's my favorite section
Girl when my sins get heavy, see you my favorite heaven
And I been up like all night and day
A pillow fort to hide your gorgeous face
Why cop the Porsche if not for open space?
Lawyer look like Cassius Clay
Sometimes feel like Tom Hanks off Castaway
