What a great achievement it was
To get a hotel room this late
I bet they charge by the hour here
The kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray

It's not a big problem with me, love
You don't look that hygienic anyway
I'm only here because
I want to twist the structure of my average day

We feel nothing so jump into the fog
In the hope that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
You know that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
In the hope that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog

What a great achievement it was
To find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
I'm a non-believer but
I believe in these dirty little wicked games

Snakes and ladders abandoned here love
The climb's too rough to slide back down again
I'm only here because
I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end

We feel nothing so jump into the fog
In the hope that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
I just hope it's your brains that splatter not mine

In the hope nothing so jump into the fog
You know that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
I've made some bad decisions, I'll admit that freely
It's just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped
In debauchery So drop your map, drop your plans,
Drop that five-step program
Because there's not an ounce of faith in this leap
It's clear you feel nothing so jump into the fog with me

[Repeat: x4]
Jump in, jump in, jump in, jump into the fog

    General Comment:I don't necessarily think this song is about just a breakup. It may be for the writer, but to me, it means the total numbness of everything. After being really depressed, you do whatever you think will make you happy. You'll jump into something completely blinded by sadness.

    My Interpretation:This song is obviously about a one night stand. However, it's not like a party kind of slut song. I think it sounds really sad and in my opinion it sounds like he's just broken up with someone who he loves and he's really upset about it and wants her back but has tried really hard and is now kind of at the stage where he's just having mindless sex with everyone to kind of fill the gap (pardon the pun)

    My Interpretation:When I first heard it i misheard it and heard "twist the structure of my own DNA", and now I only think of it being about mad scientists. So my interpretation is that.

    General Comment:IMO its about having a massive bender possibly post relationship not trusting anyone. jump in the fog? as in having the power of buying a women for the night and hoping she feels worse about being with him for the money then he does for being with her.

    My Interpretation:We feel nothing so jump into the fog
    He/she had a friendship that didn't work out the first time and is giving it another try

    In the hope that we hit the ground upright
    and hopes that nothing bad happens this time

    We feel nothing so jump into the fog
    I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
    If the relationship doesnt work out he/she doesnt want to hurt as much as he/she did last time
    We feel nothing so jump into the fog
    In the hope that we hit the ground upright

    We feel nothing so jump into the fog
    They failed and ended the relationship again

    General Comment:This actually is the wombats best song! I heard a really good stripped back version of it performed live on triple J the other day, definately worth a listen
    abc.net.au/triplej/thedoctor/blog/…

    Anyway, this song is obviously about a one night stand. I heard a quote from the lead singer saying that the song was written from a stage they went through when they would just hit up the town looking for promiculous sex. Classy.

    Song Meaning:On the radio there was a quote from one of the band members saying that this was: "loosely based on a night I had in Bergen when we toured there back in the day, before we had a record deal or anything. I don't know it's just quite a nihilistic, debaucherous song about having promiscuous sex!"

    General Comment:I saw The Wombats a few weeks ago in New Orleans and onstage they said this song is about having sex with a prostitute. Hence "Jump into the Fog." Makes perfect sense.

    General Comment:i personally felt the lyrics were a lot to do with the sort of numb blank, joyless feeling or ` the fog` if u like, that you can feel when you are using some anti-depressant meds. I also thought that it was perhaps a sort of reaching out to others who are living with some form of depression and the increasing numbers of people who `jump into the fog' after being prescribed anti-depressants.

    General Comment:Whether or not the song delivers a message based on Nihilism lyrically, it certainly embodies that sensation musically. I can't stop listening to the track and feel a sense of freedom.
