MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
焦げそうな気持ちと
渇いていたのは
そう、色
通りの上
飛び出せば
大丈夫だよ
昨日買ってきた 細いあの彼
「もう来ない」 言っている
「そばにいない」って
ねぇ
時の上
飛び乗れば
内緒だよ
もうきっと
(ドレミファソ
ドレミファソ)
「もう来ない」 言っている
そばにいておくれよ
昨日帰ってきたよ
そっと去って行ったよ
そっと去って行ったって
そっと、そっと手を
手を、手を振るよ
The lyrics to MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS's song "skabetty" talk about feelings of uncertainty and loss. The first two lines express the feeling of holding onto something that is about to fall apart, while the following two lines reveal that what has been lost is color. The singer then urges themselves to jump out onto the road and assures themselves that everything will be okay. The song then shifts to talking about an encounter with a lover who is crying and saying that they will never come back. The singer begs the lover to stay by their side, but the lover has already left. The final lines of the song depict the singer waving goodbye to the lover as they quietly leave.
The song "skabetty" is a reflection on the pain of losing someone you love and the desire to hold onto them despite the inevitability of their departure. The lyrics create a powerful sense of nostalgia and heartache through their emotive language and melancholic tone. The title "skabetty" is a made-up word that is meant to evoke a sense of tangled emotions and confusion, which is apropos given the subject matter of the song.

@ba-a-a
I'm holding in both hands
This feeling like I'm about to get burnt
When all I thirsted for was,
Yes, some color.
If I leap out,
Into the streets,
I'll be fine.
That slim guy I picked up yesterday
Is crying, crying
saying I wont come again
I wont be by your side
he says
If I jump on board,
Time itself...
...something secret awaits.
it's certain now
do remi fa sol
do re mi fa sol
saying i wont come again
please stay by my side
he headed home yesterday
he left me gently
going on his way quietly but even then
softly softly
ill wave my hand goobye

I only learned about Mass of the Fermenting Dregs a few years ago, but Skabetty is solidly in my top 20 favorite songs of all time.
@retroaf7652
I swear this is by far one of their most underrated songs. It’s so good
@chriskelman9848
Only just discovered them. One of the best bands I’ve heard in my life. Love her voice. Listening to their entire back catalogue for the last month
