Penelope Lyrics
Artist(Band):Saosin
Oh Penelope
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
It's a travesty
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle
Oh Penelope
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
It's a travesty
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle
I’m treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor
I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para mi 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 wanna see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I
Come round to visit you
Don’t wanna see you floating upside down
No girl
Need you there, Need you there, Need you there
Ooh Release that air
(I’m treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor
I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para mi 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

Review about Penelope
Gold fish? | Reviewer: Aaron | 10/3/2008right.. every1 knows that penelope is a pinback cover right? Well i found out that the dude from pinback was actually dedicating this song to his goldfish when it died after some crazy dude dropd pizza in it's fish tank... lol why else would the lyrics talk about red scales... lol but then again... thats the magic of these types of songs. it's al about opinion. Interpret the lyrics as you please. Have a nice day. I LOVE SAOSIN!!!

becky your a goooood call!
maybe you should be listening to the wiggles eh?
im pretty sure they dont use metaphors.
dont know if coves gone deeper then the goldfish idea or not .. but if he has the dudes close to a genius.
i do heaaaps agree with you other guys on all the hidden parts to songs, but a lot of the time its our own imagination that makes that, songwriters may make a metaphor like this one and leave interpration open for a deeper meaning but it doesnt necessarily mean they had one.
the beauty of songwriting, the listener can make it whatever they want to be :)
well | Reviewer: Kess | 9/2/2008
did you ever stop to think that maybe it has to do with pot. Yes take that imagery of a gold fish, gulping oxygen and he doesn't want to find her floating upside down at the top of the bowl.
But consider this Consider the image of a girl smoking pot... to get away from reality. I'm not advocating it its just what i see... play along.
So this girl is smoking, and swallowing this heavy air. And floating around mentally. But there is something wrong. She is so lonely and feels like instead of floating she's spiraling down. And it pains him. But the beauty is that he knows that if he dives down into her deep emotions he will find the treasure for his heart. There is something that he loves about this girl so much that he would dive the depths to rescue her, and bring her to a forrest where instead of drowning in the endless abyss of an ocean she can walk with raindrops falling on her.
And then going back to the pot refrence.. (sorry but its what i think) When he comes around and he's there with her, he doesn't want to see her miserable and running to smoke from her bowl, and float down into the endless abyss.
Its brilliant imagery if you ask me... But that's the beauty of imagery its different for many. Either way great song.

If you think this song is truly about a goldfish and doesn't have any hidden, deeper meaning about something else then maybe you shouldn't be listening to this sort of music. Seeing as most alternative/indie/emo artists mask true feelings through representation and imagery of something else, you'll find it evident in more songs than just this.

@ becky : you need to start looking at different layers of the song. water could symbolize a vice, such as drinking. which girls have a shell? many do. it's called hypocrisy. i could rant on, i'm just shedding light on what i believe the song to be.
a man comparing a woman to a precious goldfish. he wants to cleanse her of her problems and show her the better things in life.
or the dude was just too stoned and wrote about a goldfish. it's up to them to write songs, to inspire us. if your inspiration takes you to think this song is about cows shooting lazers, then so be it. don't tell someone they are wrong.
Wow | Reviewer: Taryn | 1/15/2008
Saosin is so amazing there's NO words to explain it. I love this song, It's great and really heartfilled. It's just so crazy how insane they are, I love them.
Oh Man! | Reviewer: Ben | 1/3/2008
This song got me into Pinback, the original writers of the song. Saosin is godly and does an amazing cover, I think Cove's voice fits the song better than the original.
yes. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/26/2007
AMAZING!! always been one of my all time favs! but it needs some correcting..so i help i hope. =]
penelope. | Reviewer: becky | 7/14/2007
this song is good. but its about a fucking goldfish. who has redscales? Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
shell? what kind of girl needs a shell?I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure
diving in the ocean?
Don’t wanna see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I
Come round to visit you
girls float on the tops on bowls?
lyrics | Reviewer: Danielle | 5/15/2007
i'm pretty sure it's Is it dropsy?, not it's a travesty
