Shark Attack Lyrics – Joshua Slone

Shark Attack Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer talks about feeling lost and tired after another emotional struggle, comparing his relationship to a sinking ship. He’s been fighting to keep things afloat, but now everything feels hopeless and out of control. He doesn’t want to imagine life without the other person, yet deep down, he knows they’re both in too deep and things are falling apart. It’s a mix of sadness, confusion, and realization.

[Chorus]
Here, the singer uses the idea of a “shark attack” to show how dangerous and painful love can feel. There’s tension and emotional wounds, like blood in the water attracting sharks. Despite all the hurt, he admits that this person was the only one who ever truly supported him. He’s torn between love and pain—wanting to kiss them again and fix things, but also remembering the damage they caused. Even with the bad memories, he doesn’t want to lose them again because missing them hurts more than anything else.

[Verse 2]
The singer realizes he can’t escape the heartbreak no matter how hard he tries. The other person has already chosen someone else, leaving him stranded and bleeding emotionally. He feels betrayed and abandoned, comparing himself to someone left to be attacked in dangerous waters. Every path he takes seems hopeless, whether he fights or gives up. He understands that if they left once, it was only a matter of time before they left again.

[Chorus]
This part repeats the emotional struggle but feels more intense, showing how the pain keeps looping. The “blood in the water” line returns, emphasizing the chaos and heartbreak that keep surrounding him. He still remembers how this person used to have his back, making it hard to move on. He keeps reaching for love, hoping they might stay this time, even though he knows it’s unlikely. The repetition of wanting to kiss them again shows his longing and emotional weakness. The long list of wrongs reminds him of the hurt, but the desire to avoid missing them again overpowers the anger. Each time he repeats “again and again,” it shows how he’s stuck in this cycle of heartbreak and hope, unable to break free from the emotional pull of this person.

[Outro]
The singer ends by repeating how he doesn’t want to miss the person anymore, showing how trapped he feels in his emotions. It’s like a cry of exhaustion and longing that won’t end.
