Wavves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're such a drag on everyone
You're such a burned out zombie
You always suck out all the fun
You're no fun
You're no fun
You're no fun
You're no fun
You're always crashing parties
You're always crashing someone's car
You're always crashing at the new girl's couch
Until she finds out who you are
You're no fun
You're no fun
You're no fun
You're just dumb
You're no fun
No you'll never have it all,
not in this world,
See the writing on the wall
You're no fun
No, you'll never get it all,
not in this world,
see the writing on the wall,
not in this world,
no you'll never get it all,
not in this world
see the writing on the wall,
you're no fun
The lyrics of Wavves's song Bug showcases the negative attributes of a person who is always a drag on everyone's life and sucks out all the fun. The singer addresses this person as a 'bug' and describes him as a burned out zombie. The person in question is renowned for crashing parties, cars, and even crashing at the new girl's couch. The song feels incredibly relatable as we all have somebody in our life who continuously brings negativity and ruins things for everyone else.
The lyricist has done a fantastic job of capturing the emotions of frustration and annoyance that arise with such a person's continuous presence. The refrain 'You're no fun, You're just dumb' further emphasizes the presence of such toxicity in life. The song's tone becomes more assertive towards the end when the singer declares that such a person can never have it all, and they need to see the writing on the wall. The repetition of the phrase 'not in this world' drives the point home that this person needs to change and start being more considerate of others.

This should have millions of views. Will never forget the night my girlfriend and I dropped acid and jumped up and down like maniacs with this track on repeat.
