Oh, Penelope
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that made you float up?
Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.
Oh, Penelope
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that make you float up?
Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.
I'm treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para me corazon...
Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
Don't want to see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you
Don't want to see you floating upside down
No, girl
Need you there
Need you there
Need you there
Oh, Release that air
I'm treading water with my oars ( Release that air )
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear ( Release that air )
In search of treasure, para me corazon...
Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that made you float up?
Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.
Oh, Penelope
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that make you float up?
Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.
I'm treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para me corazon...
Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
Don't want to see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you
Don't want to see you floating upside down
No, girl
Need you there
Need you there
Need you there
Oh, Release that air
I'm treading water with my oars ( Release that air )
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear ( Release that air )
In search of treasure, para me corazon...
Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell

I feel like that only its a fish. :|
To me this song from just hearing it right now...
It's hard to watch you struggle and I am trying to make my way there to help you and when I do I'll take you some where safe but I need you to be there.
Although now that I think of it.. it is very much about a fish.
but hey that's poetry for you.. means something different for everyone.
It's about a boy who falls in love with a mermaid(named Penelope). They both really care about each other. "It's depressing me to see you struggle". He tries to find a way to solve this problem- "I'm treading water with my oars... diving down with all my gear in search of treasure para mi corazon". He wishes that ther was some way for them to be together- "Take you to the forest, let you feel the raindrops falling down, seeping through your red scales. Eliminate the faucet, eliminate the need for water, replace it with a safe shell. The "red scales" are also something that would have to do with mermaids(golfish are orange, and mermaids have scaly fins).
It's kind of out there, but that's what I thought when I listened to it.
and for some reason it always makes me think of ophelia from hamlet
"Dropsy is a common disease among fresh-water aquarium fish. The name is from an old name for Edema in humans." - Wikipedia.
this song makes me sad.. i really have no clue why.
means "for my heart"
so if you say
"in search of treasure, para mi corazon"
he tried to say that he's finding for his love
i think its not about a gold fish....
(its only my opinion lol)
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle."
fish don't have lungs!!!
my fav =]
saosin are unreal!
B) I like some Saosin stuff, but both Pinback versions of this song are way better than this version. It's not that it is horrible, but the entire song sounds the same , there is a lack of any emotion
