Lyrics
There's a fricking shark in the sky (I have commitment issues?!)
And it's eating all the people (No! No, that's not how this works)
In the (You're the one with)
Fly (Commitment issues)
There's a fricking (I can't believe that you're even)
Door on the floor (Talking to me like this)
And it's not being friendly to those who are poor (Get out of my house! I never wanted you here to begin with!)
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
i have comm...
Yeah, if you're inside a cabinet
There's gonna be a light switch waiting for you
It's gonna kill y-
And your teachers and your frien[I think I'd just have t...]ds and everyone that you ever knew
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
...itment issues
Because you are stuck
In the closet
And you are stupid
There is no fan
There is no light
You have been robbed from your wallet
And the robber is getting away in a speedy car
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
no no thats
Yeah
You should stop
You should get [And your whole family...] a dog
Buy more cats and more fishhooks (And, unfortunately, I'm gonna have to fire you)
Then you can stop all the fires that exist (Because... your work performance just has not been up to par...)
And that is how you begin your mist (For what this company's expecting of you)
I have never come across such a rocket

██████████ a mask on the floor?
I really hope-
This is really
Stupid (Get out of my house!)
Why am I d[...ually was a hurricane!]oing this (And make sure to)
With my life (Buy a McNugget)
No one ever asked this of me (Next time you go to McDonald's!)
I have never worn a sock in the oven
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
not how this works
WHAT?
There's a microwave in my house? (Get out of my house!)
There wasn't a microwave in my house yesterday!
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
youre the one
And if I were to tell you
(Get out of my house!)
That the world [...sh in my fission] is not red (I have commitment issues?!)
Would you believe me (No! No, that's not how this works)
Or would you leave me on read? (You're the one with commitment issues)
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
with comm...
I just can't think that all this water (I can't believe that you're even talking to me like this)
In the ocean actually exists (Get out of my house! I never wanted you)
If I were- (Here to begin with!)
[To go blitz]
And eat [did not crack on the floor] more bananas (Get out of my house!)
In a banana sundae (Commit- commit- commit-)
This is how plastic bags are developed (Commit- commit- commit-)
In this newfound way!
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
...itment issues
In the box
In the car
In the cheese
In the blank (Get out of my house!)
No one can answer what the word is (Commit- commit- commit-)
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
i cant believe
So, remember, kids! (Commit- commit- commit-)
If you hear a beep
And then you see a nose
That is ALWAYS a sheep
And it'll hit you in the bones!
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
that youre even
SOOOOOOO, WHAT (Get out of my house!)
Are you going to do
If the fire hydrant falls on you? (Get out of my house! I have commitment issues?!)
It will be very heavy (No! No, that's not how this works)
But at least you're not being spaghettified by a black hole (You're the one with commitment issues)
And then SPIT into another universe (I can't believe that you're even)
Where you don't have any of your memory because you're just a bunch of quarks and electrons now! (Talking to me like this. Get out of my house! I never wanted you here to begin with!)
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
talking to
Anyway, as I was saying, you don't-
You didn't know (Get out of my house!)
There was a portion of this song
Where I said a swear
But I m-made it all wrong
This isn't right! You shouldn't swear on Nguhrovision
I am tired of no more fi- (Here)
Why is there a shark on my bed? (This is for you)
Why is there a sock? (Next time you're)
How many dogs do I have? (Feeling afraid)
I have counted at least eighty trillion! (You can know that)
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
me like this get out of my house
Anyways, I bet you won't believe that (I'm by your side)
I got a negative hurricane the other day! (In...this)
See, one hurricane-
What was it called? (Get out of my house!)
Milton, that's right!
It came and-and I got nothing
But the days before
And the days after
It was pouring as if there acsh- (Get out of my house!)
Why exactly did I include this in the song?
WellI'mjust gonna be speeding it up
So maybe you won't get it at all!
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
i never even wanted you
And I feel
That I have had my emotions damaged!
So severely!
And I can't-
I CAN'T LIVE ANYMOOOOOOOOORE! (Get out of my house!)
//Please, please help me... They're- they're coming after me... I- I have to get out of here... I can't... I can't do this anymore... Please... Please help... They're coming...!//
here to begin with
Background
The lyrics were largely based on things in Suqi's life, but also had many made-up elements. This is because the first audio recorded, the "primary audio," was a freestyle song and Suqi has no experience with freestyling.
- The overarching theme of commitment was based on Suqi hearing their nextdoor neighbors arguing about commitment, which could be heard through the apartment walls.
- The multiple mentions of a shark were in reference to a Blåhaj shark plush on Suqi's bed at the time of recording.
- The multiple mentions of dogs were in reference to Suqi's dogs. The fire hydrant line was also added because of a memory Suqi had just had of one of their dogs peeing on a fire hydrant.
- Random objects such as a door, lightswitch, closet, etc. were also added because they happened to be in the room.
- The lines This is really Stupid reflected Suqi's feelings about the freestyle they were singing.
- The mentions of black holes, quarks and electrons were included because of Suqi's interest in astro and quantum physics.
- The swearing on Nguhrovision references a previous version of the audio where Suqi swore, but it was cut because they thought it might be inappropriate.
- The stanza about "negative hurricane Milton" is a true story. The days leading up to and following Hurricane Milton's arrival in Florida had intense wind and rain, but at the time the storm was actually above Florida, Suqi experienced no bad weather at all, prompting them to call the event a negative hurricane.
The meaning of the song is up to interpretation, since it was not made with any meaning in mind, although some lyrics match-up suspiciously well. It's primarily Suqi experimenting with altering audio in the Audacity audio editing program, which they ended up liking enough to make their official entry.
