The lyrics to Jack Stauber's Micropop song "Coral" are a bit abstract and open to interpretation, but overall the song seems to be about feeling disconnected and unable to connect with others. The opening lines mention "Leg rub, push you up," which could possibly refer to a physical gesture or action meant to bring people closer together, but it seems to be futile as the following lines state "Itchin' I can't do it." This could be interpreted as the speaker wanting to connect with someone, but feeling unable to do so for whatever reason. The chorus emphasizes the theme of being kept in the dark and feeling disconnected, with the lines "Keep me in the dark, touch me, not smart / It's not ac-ac-academic art." The repetition of "teb uoy yam" and "egnahc lliw dnim ym yaS" (which are just the backwards spellings of "my mind will change, may you be bet") further reflects the confusion and disorientation the speaker is experiencing. Overall, "Coral" seems to be a reflection on the difficulties of communication and connecting with others. The abstract lyrics and surreal imagery add to the overall feeling of uncertainty and confusion.
