Oh Well
Settlefish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No that's just me that is falling.
Did you think that once we were spared.
From this evil witch encounter.
The sooner the sooner.
You killed you killed her.
The singular thesis.
The time we learn to struggle.
The singular thesis.
The plural of the choir.
The time we learn to struggle.
Oh hold on I just hit a man.
No that's just me that is falling.
Did you think that once we were spared.
From this evil witch encounter.
The sooner the sooner.
You killed you killed her.
Oh hold on I just hit a man.
No that's just me that is falling.
Did you think that once we were spared.
From this evil witch encounter.
One hundred more deaths now.
One hundred more deaths now
The lyrics of Settlefish's song "Oh Well" are cryptic and open to interpretation. However, there are themes of violence, struggle, and a repeated phrase of "did you think that once we were spared" which suggests a sense of betrayal or loss of innocence. The line "oh hold on I just hit a man. No that's just me that is falling" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's own violent tendencies causing them to self-destruct. The chorus repeats "the sooner you killed her" which could be interpreted as either an instruction or a lament, depending on the perspective.
The second verse repeats the lines "the time we learn to struggle, the singular thesis, the plural of the choir" which suggests an exploration of the concept of individuality versus collective action. The final verse brings the lyrics full circle, repeating the lines from the first verse and adding "one hundred more deaths now" which further emphasizes the sense of violence and despair.
Overall, the song's lyrics leave a lot of room for interpretation, but there are clear themes of violence, struggle, and societal pressure.
