Spongebob

"Spongebob" is the fifth single by F.E.A.T.S, released independently on 2 October 2020. It is named after the American animated comedy television series, Spongebob Squarepants.

Lyrical interpretation
"Spongebob" runs for the duration of exactly three minutes. The song mentions the psychoactive drug, marijuana, also known under the slang term 'weed'.

A clear observation a listener can gain as well as watching the visual from the music video is getting high on drugs. However, it can also be metaphorical for a sense of "love", where it is likened to as getting a rush. Wanting to get high, perhaps forget their troubles and revert to their hippie days, it may also signify for people to chill out. Mentioning the cartoon Spongebob may imply that drugs promise a journey to youth again, where everything isn't so stressful, as childhood symbolises the idea of freedom and innocence. This can almost be seen in stark contrast, as drugs are associated with growing up and maturing.

At the very end we must remember: pugs, not drugs. Stay safe and do not take drugs, period. The song could also take the direction that weed is unhealthy, as watching SpongeBob may sound ideal, yet it can draw the opposite effect. It suggests that getting high means you will be stuck being couch potatoes and forced to watch childhood cartoons whether you like it or not.

Music video
The music video was filmed and edited by Robbie Beaumont, posted to their YouTube channel on 4 October 2020. It shows some process of them making song, as well as camping outside with friends and having a good time.
