Badfish
Sublime Lyrics

When you grab a hold of me
Tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite,
Creep and crawl I step into the night.
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too?
Are you a badfish too?
Ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak

Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim, but wish I'd never learned
The water's too polluted with the germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed (it's underneath my bed)
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to get old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

[Verse 1]
When you grab a hold of me
Tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl, I step into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Two pints of booze
Tell me, are you a badfish, too?
(Are you a badfish, too?)

[Chorus]
But, I
Ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

[Verse 2]
Baby, you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim, but I wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs

[Pre-Chorus]
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
(Underneath my bed)

[Chorus]
But, I
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to get old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

My dad would always play this song to put me asleep and I listened to it everyday since. I’m almost 16 now. He was killed in January by a group of guys and they just left him there to suffer alone while it was cold out. I miss him so much. We buried him while this song was playing. I love this song so much. RIP dad. I miss u a lot

I was a student at Cal State Dominguez Hills when Bradley & guys used to hang out there. I used to stop and talk with them near the student union building after one of my friends, who knew them, introduced me to them. I thought they were fellow students, but they weren't! Years later, I learned that they were secretly recording an album using our school's recording studio. I had no clue that they were on the verge of becoming the superstars that they turned out to be! Good times!

When you realize this song is about his struggle with heroin. RIP. When you were young you didn't realize how deep this song was. Badfish by Sublime and Under The Bridge by RHCP would always define how my life was/is. Constant struggle but you can overcome it. To those who are still struggling to overcome their opiate illness, there is a brighter side take it from a guy whose been shot five times, stabbed twice and have a terminal illness. Was on and off opiate for majority of my teens and twenties. Currently thirty, sober for year and six months.

"I swim, but I wish I never learned, the water is too polluted with germs." Might be my favorite line out of any song ever. It shows the pain Bradley was going through at the time. I think many others feel the same way. Such a powerful line, that I believe is overlooked quite often. It demonstrates the battle we all have with the corrupt and evil individuals/events in society (regardless of political party, left and right, regardless of socioeconomic status). The battle of of love and hate. It sometimes can be tough and even unbearable to manage the fact that there are people out there that will take advantage of you, and that will play friends on the front, but are just waiting for the right moment to stab you in the back. Sublime is my favorite band of all time. I have seen this from experience, and just a PSA to anyone who may feel like Bradley, who may struggling to handle all the hatred that is brewing in society, there is at least one person who cares about you and wants to see you thrive and grow and be happy. This guy right here! Rock on Sublime fans! You are loved!

That's not what it means. The Reef is heroin. Swimming is dealing with life without heroin. He's talking about how difficult it is to deal with life when sober. Thus, he grabs the reef underneath his bed, it's where he keeps his heroin. He turns to drugs because he doesn't want to deal with all of the problems he has to face.

I’ve been addicted to opiates for going on 30 years. I’ve never heard this terminology. Maybe it’s because I live in the Deep South. I just call my dealer a dealer or my supplier. I don’t hang out with other people that do it so maybe that’s it. I’ve been into Sublime this whole time. I know Brads story but I never knew what Badfish were. Learn something every day. I’ve had this addiction forever. I don’t talk to anyone about it so I’m pretty naive to any language. I’m sure people learn this stuff at rehab. I’ve never been. I’ve went Cold Turkey so many times it’s just scary. I probably need to talk to more people and learn more.I guess I’ve been swimming for so long that my body is getting real weary. It’s starting to shut down on me. God bless me

Thanks my friend. I was in my twenties when I discovered Sublime. This music has brought me and my children so much happiness and joy. The music is so timeless. My kids don’t refer to it as 90s music or old music. It’s alwYs just sublime. ❤️

@François Dillinger Bro, I'm living the good life. Wife and kids, two dogs, and an asshole cat. We own our house and cars. Other than my injuries complements from my time in the Army I'm doing pretty good. Why does it bother you so much that other people are comfortable with who and how they are? Something being cool is subjective so you do you, man. Just make sure you're holding views that are your own and not something society expects from you or even worse your peers. Have a great life.

That's a Friend with a capital F. To have someone so wise and so young at such an important time must have been a huge blessing. My sister turned me onto Sublime when I was a pre-teen and she was in high school, and it legit helped me find kindred souls because they were still quite new and unknown in those days (early early 90s) and anyone who knew or liked them could basically be trusted and vibed with to the highest degree.

The power of music is amazing, the memories that flood back from just one song brings me back like I am right there. This song is very powerful in that regard. Makes me long for those days

Pepper is the closest to Sublime I've come to know. The singer sounds frighteningly similar to Bradley and the music is good. SS doesn't have the same punk style reggae that Sublime had.

Bradley Nowell wrote this song before he ever tried heroin. So, all the people saying it's about heroin are wrong. It is about drugs, but not heroin. Marijuana is probably the biggest influence of this song. "Grab the reef underneath my bed." This song was first on the 1991 Jah Won't Pay the Bills demo tape, so it was way before Bradley ever tried heroin. He really didn't get into it until around 1992-1993. And a Badfish? It's just someone who does things that are considered immoral or wrong by society's standards, like drugs and booze to an extreme.

What is a badfish?

A "Badfish" is a term used to describe a person who exposes someone else to heroin for the first time. >>

It's just about addiction... to anything, and Bradley got addicted to a bunch of shit, alcohol, then dope, who knows what else. of course its all steeped in metaphors about surfing, love, etc. also. He is a genius

Andrew Brunelle

Makes sense. People say, "Drink like a fish," and "Two pints of booze, tell me are you a Badfish, too." I'm so sick of people thinking every song Bradley wrote was about heroin. He did tons of other drugs/alcohol, too.

Andrew Brunelle correct!
