King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard's touring band. They toured for almost a year straight until Hayes left the band for some time off. Jacob Cooper, former drummer of The Mae Shi, has since taken his place. After playing the major festival circuit, Nathan started his own record label Ghost Ramp and released the Life Sux EP on September 20th 2011.
On March 26, 2013 Wavves released their 4th studio album "Afraid of Heights" on Mom + Pop records. Jacob Cooper left the band in 2013. Brian Hill (The Soft Pack/The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower) began playing drums soon after.
Wavves' fifth album entitled "V" was released on October 2, 2015 through Ghost Ramp and Warner Bros. Records.
Paranoid
Wavves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm paranoid
Paranoid
The world is my enemy
My enemy
Don't lie to me
I'm waiting for
The enemy
No I dunno
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
I'm paranoid
Paranoid
I'm wasting all my energy
My energy
Don't lie to me
I'm wasting all
The enemy
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
No I dunno, I dunno, I dunno
The lyrics to Wavves's song "Paranoid" convey a feeling of intense anxiety and distrust. The singer perceives the world around him as his enemy, and he is constantly on edge, waiting for the "enemy" to strike. The repetition of the phrase "No I dunno" at the end of each stanza emphasizes the singer's confusion and uncertainty.
Through the lyrics, Wavves captures the experience of living with paranoia, a mental health condition characterized by persistent and irrational feelings of suspicion and mistrust. The song's raw, unpolished sound and repetitive structure add to the sense of unease and tension created by the lyrics.
"Paranoid" is a powerful reminder of the importance of taking mental health seriously and seeking help when needed. The song encourages empathy and understanding for those who struggle with mental health conditions such as paranoia.

While I really do enjoy this song I was really hoping I'd get to hear Wavves play the classic Black Sabbath song "Paranoid".

It is a colorful pastel horse from a cartoon. Interesting depiction on your end though.
