Super Soaker
Wavves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day's done
She won't listen
She won't listen
My head's numb
And I can't hear her
Any clearer

Bill Clinton in my head
Little clearer through the roof
Bill Clinton in my head
Little clearer through the roof
Bill Clinton in my head
Little clearer through the roof
Bill Clinton in my head
Bill Clinton!

My alien
He's still missing
He's still missing
My plan's done
And I can't hear ya
Any clearer

Little clearer in my head
Bill Clinton through the roof
Little clearer in my head
Bill Clinton through the roof
Little clearer in my head
Bill Clinton through the roof
Bill Clinton

Wipe all the sweat from my eyes
And hide from the ocean!
Waves crash my flesh and skull;
But I still feel stupid, stupid, stupid
Stupid!
Stupid!




Stupid!
Stupid!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wavves's song "Super Soaker" convey a sense of detachment and disorientation. The singer of the song is experiencing a disconnect from his surroundings, as he can't hear the person he's talking to any clearer and his head feels numb. He tries to clear his head by thinking of something else, and the image that comes to mind is that of Bill Clinton. The refrain "Bill Clinton in my head" is repeated throughout the song, giving it a catchy and humorous quality, despite the underlying sense of alienation.


The second verse adds another layer to the song, as the singer mentions his missing alien. This adds a sci-fi element to the song, further emphasizing the sense of detachment from reality. The final lines of the song describe the physical sensation of being wiped out by the waves, but also feeling stupid at the same time. This final repetition of the word "stupid" could serve as a commentary on the generation the song is addressing, who may feel disconnected from their surroundings and experience a lack of focus or purpose.


Overall, "Super Soaker" is a song that touches on themes of alienation, disorientation, and detachment, all wrapped up in a catchy and humorous package.


Line by Line Meaning

The day's done
The day has ended


She won't listen
She refuses to hear me out


She won't listen
She won't listen to what I have to say


My head's numb
I cannot feel or think properly


And I can't hear her
I cannot understand what she is saying


Any clearer
Even though I am trying hard


Bill Clinton in my head
I am thinking about Bill Clinton


Little clearer through the roof
The thought is getting clearer in my mind


Bill Clinton!
Bill Clinton is on my mind!


My alien
My extraterrestrial friend


He's still missing
I cannot find him


He's still missing
He has not returned yet


My plan's done
My plan is complete


And I can't hear ya
I cannot hear or comprehend what you are saying


Any clearer
Even though I am trying hard


Wipe all the sweat from my eyes
I am sweating and need to clear my vision


And hide from the ocean!
I want to avoid the ocean


Waves crash my flesh and skull;
The waves are pounding on my body and head


But I still feel stupid, stupid, stupid
Even though I am trying to avoid the waves, I still feel foolish


Stupid!
I feel foolish


Stupid!
I feel foolish


Stupid!
I feel foolish


Stupid!
I feel foolish
