Bat

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello, pleased to meet you, I'm a bat
I'm guessing that you probably figured out that
From my decision to take the position of upside down
I sleep all day, I'm up all night
I'm up all night – I know that doesn't seem right
But all I need is the twinkling moonlight, that's all I need
Upside down, hanging around
I'm not right-side up, I'm upside down
I like when I look up I can see the ground, hanging around.
Ever since I've been a little bat pup, your upside down's been my right-side up
Wouldn't it be crazy if you spent your days being upside down?
The only trouble with being a bat is when you're hanging around, well you can't wear a hat
Gravity gets in the way of that but that's okay, I'm not a hat bat anyway
Who needs a hat when you're hanging from the ceiling?
It's the best feeling when you're hanging from the ceiling
Can't imagine anything more appealing than hanging around
Upside down, hanging around
I'm not right-side up, I'm upside down
I like when I look up I can see the ground, hanging around.
Sometimes I have to go out in the night when I feel a little hungry and I need a little bite
Snacking on bugs till my belly feels right, it's usually quite an enjoyable flight
But hanging out can't be beat, it's always a treat to put up my feet
For me it's more comfy that sitting in a seat, hanging around
Upside down, hanging around
I'm not right-side up, I'm upside down
I like when I look up I can see the ground
Hanging around, hanging around.
The song "Bat" by Big Block Singsong offers playful and insightful lyrics about the life of a bat. The opening lines explain how the singer of the song is not right-side up but upside down, which is not surprising since it's a bat. The bat introduces itself and continues by explaining how hanging upside down is its usual position, and all it needs is the twinkling moonlight to enjoy its nocturnal activities.
The lyrics then explore how being upside down has always been the bat's right-side up, which invites the listener to imagine what it would be like to view the world from a different perspective. The song also shares an interesting fact, that bats have difficulty wearing hats due to gravity, but that doesn't matter to the singer of this song, as it's not a hat bat anyway.
The chorus of the song repeats the concept of hanging around that captures the essence of bats' lives, as they usually hang upside down in caves, trees, or other dark places. The bat describes the sensation of hanging from the ceiling as its best feeling, and how it can't imagine anything more appealing than that. The second verse adds humor to the lyrics by sharing how the bat enjoys snacking on bugs during the night, but for it, nothing beats hanging around.
Overall, the song "Bat" is a charming and witty ode to the unique lifestyle of these winged mammals that live in the shadows. The song highlights the upside-down world of bats, their nocturnal habits, and their love for hanging around that make them fascinating creatures to observe.
