Dawn cracks open on a cobalt sea,
Whitecaps roll out wild and free,
We punch that throttle, bow cuts clean,
Out past the blue where the reef runs mean.
Deck’s full of outcasts, sunburnt crew,
Old band tees and tattoos half-new,
Didn’t fit in back on shore,
So we chase big shadows and a surface war.
(Pre-Chorus)
We don’t do safe and we don’t sit still,
We live for the hit and the rod-bend thrill—
(Chorus)
HEY! — Cast that popper, let it fly!
Rip it back ‘til the spray hits sky!
Giant trevally with a war-drum tail,
Hit so hard make your backbone fail!
HEY! — We’re the misfits, loud and brief,
Kings of chaos on the reef!
Foam and fury, whitewater grief—
Out on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef!
(Verse 2)
We were never saints in a small-town bar,
Too much noise, too many scars,
Teachers said, “You’ll never go far,”
Now we’re runnin’ wide where the big fish are.
Wind it hard — bloop, bloop, smash!
Surface detonates in a violent crash,
Black shape rockets through the spray,
Arms on fire but we won’t give way.
(Pre-Chorus)
Boat swings wild in the rolling swell,
Laugh like sinners ringin’ a bell—
(Chorus)
HEY! — Cast that popper, make it hurt!
Work it loud through the boiling surf!
Giant trevally, chrome and black,
Hit like a freight train, heart attack!
HEY! — We’re the misfits, born to roam,
Saltwater’s the only home!
No straight lines, no relief—
Just reef-run rage and disbelief!
(Bridge – Break it down, gritty)
Sun climbs high, backs all burned,
Every lesson hard-earned,
One more cast — no regret,
We ain’t done and we ain’t dead yet—
(Guitars explode back in)
(Final Chorus – Gang vocals, fists in the air)
HEY! — Let it land and let it cry!
Watch that black fin crucify!
Giant trevally rise and crush,
Pure white chaos, pure head rush!
HEY! — From the bow to the transom rail,
We don’t quit and we don’t fail!
Outcasts, loud, beyond belief—
Misfits rule the reef!
(Outro)
Yeah the ocean roars and we roar back proud—
Saltwater misfits, reckless and loud.
