about

The song is about trying to stay on the bright side when all around is dark, but also allowing yourself to switch sides.

lyrics

I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!

When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.

And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

I look to the side that’s brighter.
Apparently I’m an octopus fighter.
It’s not my nature,
it’s nature’s way out!

When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.

And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!

DRAG!!!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
HEY! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
