Dinosaur Jr. - Little Fury Things Lyrics






What is it?
Who is it?
Where is it?

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

I stopped to call, tried to feel it all
Stuck my hand and pulled real hard
Got stretch in miles, not in yards
Then I read, about all those who believe all of your lies
Sunlight brings the rage right in your eyes

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

  3. j.... j....

    "PORRADAAAAAA"some will understand..

  4. K.... ....

    The first dinosaur jr song i ever had heard back then. A pretty decent start.

    K.... ....

    Same here

  5. M.... P....

    This must be one of the greatest intros ever recorded

  6. t.... ....

    I agree, my fave Dino Jr song. A perfect mixture of angst and beautiful noise.

  7. C.... M....

    Sorta reminds me of something could have been on the Downwards Is Heavenward album by HUM

  8. C.... R....

    *They should be in Hall of Fame because of this song alone.*

  9. E.... ....

    Just learned that Lee Ranaldo is singing on the verses. I had no idea. Loved this song for 30 years and had no idea.

  10. B.... J....

    Jeeze! dinosaur jr. they’re one of the most formative bands in my love for music. It’s so soulful and emotional. I always come back to it and the noise in the end!


    (The noise is what makes it)

    B.... J....

    Bro they’re so incredibly gifted is ridiculous and I agree with your comment, it’s spot on.

  11. i.... d....

    who's responsible for the video?

  12. A.... O....

    When this came out it was SO different from anything anyone was doing, and the video just blew my mind (along with Teenage Riot)!

  13. d.... ....

    I remembered 1992 the first time I watched this video in Chile. I love it and I vomited 😅

  14. E.... M....

    this hits different when you're on shrooms

  15. W.... L....

    Wouldnt it be cool if someone made a record that sounded exactly like the summer you first started smoking weed and got real bummed out over unrequited love for the first time??? Oh wait

  16. j.... e....

    Not about rabbits i see

  17. C.... ....

    J Mascis is the lovechild of Jimi Hendrix and Johny Marr.

  18. S.... ....

    Boy, if you want to see and hear something really weird, try watching this at one-quarter of the speed. It's something to behold.

  19. B.... B....

    Thank you for being kick ass, Dinosaur Jr. This song is brilliant

  20. 8.... ....

    J Mascis guitar is pure genius...

  21. 8.... ....

    I 've had this on repeat in my head forever.

  22. X.... ....

    When Dinosaur were Jr...

  23. J.... P....

    I love the black metal vocal screaming at the beginning and then it goes into Neil Youngish music. What a fantastic record !!

    J.... P....

    No. You mean 90's skramz.

  24. N.... B....

    such a amazing melody

  25. g.... ....

    Thank´s DinoJR

  26. �.... �....

    depressive suicidal noisepop

  27. K.... B....

    this song changed my life

    K.... B....

    Me 2 fam

    K.... B....

    Me three bud

  28. R.... M....

    What is it/Where is it/Where is it.
    Grab, it [Rabbit] falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl. Grab, it all smashes me, again I crawl. Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl. Then she runs away from me faster than I crawl.
    I stopped to-call [succumbed], tried to spiel[feel]-it-all [smear-it-off], stuck my hand in, pulled real hard, got stretch in mile not in yard. Then I'll read about all those who bleed [believe] all over-your [where-were-you] lies. Sunlight brings the red [rage] drown [down] in your eyes.

    The lyrics are mumbled so as to be misheard into [the square bracket stuff], to produce a subtext. The nonexistent Alice in Wonderland "rabbit" is makes it "Little Fury [Furry] Things", the nonexistent "rage" is the fury. This is like 80s ambiguous R.E.M on steroids, without drugs.

  29. M.... 1....

    Snub TV!

  30. L.... D....

    I don't know what it is but there is just something about this song that is really relatable.

  31. y.... ....

    needs more wah

    y.... ....

    Lol! Such a kidder! ;)

  32. A.... S....

    So underrated

  33. t.... h....

    nur geil

  34. L.... F....

    Impossible not to love it.

  35. c.... h....

    Such a great tune
    ,Dinosaur jr forever!

  36. R.... S....

    Noticing a common theme in these Dinosaur videos... J basically acts pithy and lethargic and people around him dance, poke and prod him. Secretly, I think he actually LIKES being physically teased.

  37. D.... N....

    This has to be my favorite song and video

  38. M.... E....

    I wish J. Mascis was my uncle.

  39. P.... ....

    JE TU NĚKDO Z DABING STREET ???

    P.... ....

    Peterson 🙋

    P.... ....

    Jedinej dobrej českej seriál. Srdcovka. <3

    P.... ....

    Nu, ka tad!

    P.... ....

    Jo. Díky soundtracku z toho seriálu jsem začal poslouchat grunge, punk a indie-rock.

  40. m.... p....

    dabing street - titulní song :-)

  41. A.... ....

    Dabing street!

  42. p.... ....

    Wow!!! that particular song was my first encounter with Dinosaurs back in 87. This fantastic dirty wah-wah intro just blow my mind and i wanted more and more. Unfortunately I lived in communist Poland where the only contact with a alternative rock was through state owned radio station (3). that means 1 hour alternative rock in a week (every tuesday). So it was back then. In 1 hour I discovered bands like Dinosaur Jr, Firehose, Minuteman etc I new already Sonic Youth bad moon rising .That all was so refreshing comparing with punk rock which sucks back then.

    p.... ....

    so nostalgic!

  43. G.... ....

    At some moments it's looks like the cure, in between days

  44. C.... M....

    Great first song of an enormous album

  45. G.... F....

    1:30 sounds like inbetween days by the cure

    G.... F....

    Wow! I had to hear it to believe it, but good call!

    G.... F....

    Robert Smith said he started playing just like heaven differently after they covered it.

    G.... F....

    @Five Hour Energy its Bob Smith After a 1000 volts shock..

  46. T.... ....

    30th anniversary of this song.
    Time flies

  47. R.... R....

    30 years eh. Where does the time go? We will all be dead before too long :)

  48. M.... ....

    favorite Dinosaur Jr. tune :-)

  49. s.... d....

    You're Living All Over Me

    Released in 1987.
    Sounds like it could of been released between 1991-now

    one of the most timeless sounding records ever

  50. T.... J....

    His singing reminds me of a strange combination of Neil Young and Iggy Pop. And his guitar feedback spaz-outs are so great. Love this song, this is the first song off the first album I ever heard by Dinosaur Jr when I was like 19, and I immediately was like, "I dig this a lot."

  51. A.... ....

    Anyone agrees with me that J Mascis sounds like Kurt Cobain on this song?

  52. Y.... L....

    Yr Living All Over Me the definitive shoegaze rock album.

  53. 1.... 2....

    one of my alltime fave albums, so sad yet cheerfull

  54. n.... ....

    Lee Renaldo and J Mascis vocals sound so good together.

    n.... ....

    I never knew it was Lee! I always thought that Lou sounded different on that

  55. �.... ....

    this song gets on my skin

  56. B.... O....

    Música mais linda 🖤

    B.... O....

    🇧🇷

    B.... O....

    Brenda Oliveira fuck off

    B.... O....

    E que álbum sensacional!

  57. B.... M....

    When I think of my teen years, this song is always there. You know that ONE song that kills you? Kicks your ass every time? Fucking beautiful.

    B.... M....

    I hear this song today for the first time in 20 years or so I think. Life just stood in the way somehow. My heart sank.

    B.... M....

    yessir.

  58. D.... M....

    perfection :)

  59. M.... R....

    the last part starting at 2:26 is like a nuclear bombing on the song, something radioactive going on that liquefies vocals and melodies to show us the failure of the American Dream

    M.... R....

    you high?

    M.... R....

    Thats someting that Thurston Moore would do

    M.... R....

    sonic expressionism

    M.... R....

    Is Not Nuke..its a Fuzz Cloud...

  60. N.... 1....

    Dinosaur jr captured this particular magic its poppy and light and feels good but it's sludgy and melancholy and has a message and really makes me think about the lyrics that with the fascinating and opiate guitar work by j blends into this weird and wonderful sometimes confusing mellow sludge pop that makes you feel things that you thought was too deep to reach but somehow reaches the surface and blossoms in a painfully real yet pleasing sensation of intense sonic nirvana.

    N.... 1....

    Nomad 17 it feels like Kurt Cobain and Robert smith had a baby

    N.... 1....

    Right about everything except it definitely doesn't have a message lol

    N.... 1....

    Yeah pretty sure Dinosaur was more into reefer and not opiates/junk but kay

    N.... 1....

    @Window Liberation Brigade J has and always has been straight edge and doesn't usually like people who partake in heavy drug use. Lou and Murph smoke pot, because they said so in a interview about "Farm" and how they didn't get any of the songs, but once they smoked they knew exactly what J had in mind, and I know J is straight edge, because he has interviews dedicated to that topic alone, and the best source of knowledge from people you don't personally know is usually what they say, unless facts or evidence says otherwise.

    N.... 1....

    @Window Liberation Brigade Also I wanted to note that, I think the OP was referring to the feeling of bliss you get from injesting opiates. Had he been referring to the bands usage of bsuch substances (which I don't think the OP was doing at all) the op surly would have said the name of the opiate he believe J or the band used, instead of using a blanket term like opiates.

  61. Y.... B....

    A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl 
    A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl 
    Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl 
    Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl 

    I stopped to call, tried to feel it all 
    Stuck my hand and pulled real hard 
    Got stretch in miles, not in yards 
    Then I read, about all those who believe all of your lies 
    Sunlight brings the rage right in your eyes 

    A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl 
    A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl 
    Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl 
    Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl 

    A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl 
    A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl 
    Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl 
    Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

    Y.... B....

    Orhan Torun I should

    Y.... B....

    is there an offical lyrics release because i recently picked up You're Living All Over Me at record store and there aren't any lyrics, just the record.

    Y.... B....

    He's actually saying "I grab, it falls away" for sure, nothing to do with rabbits. There are plenty of incorrect lyrics on lyrics websites, like a LOT. But I admit, the first time I heard this song, I thought he was saying rabbit. But he ain't.

    Y.... B....

    What is it/Where is it/Where is it
    Grab, it [Rabbit] falls away from me, guess I'll crawl. Grab, it all smashes me, again I crawl. Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl. Then she runs away from me faster than I crawl.
    I stopped to-call [succumbed], tried to spiel[feel]-it-all [smear it off]. Stuck my hand in pulled real hard, got stretch in mile not in yard. Then I'll read about all those who bleed [believe] all over-your [where where you] lies, sunlight brings the red [rage] drown [down] in your eyes.

    The lyrics are intentionally mumbled to give ambiguous words, that makes it impossible to write down canonical lyrics except as above, with the alternate listenings included, so you know how to mumble the sounds to produce the ambiguity. The second-meanings are deliberate, and it gives Alice-in-Wonderland imagery for a mind-altered state caused by some sort of infidelity. The gooey sticky substances and rabbits deliberately cross over from the mumbled second meanings to the main lyrics, so it jumps back and forth, giving it the unique surreal quality, like a dream where you're trying to run away, and can't.

    This lyrical style was probably inspired by early R.E.M. lyrical ideas, where you mumble the lyrics to produce different interpretations. But early 80's R.E.M. style bands didn't plant the alternate interpretations with intent, they just made meaningless lyrics that could easily be misheard. Dinosaur Jr. planned the mishearings. It's very hard to do, and it's unique to this phase of the band.

    Y.... B....

    Ron Maimon  Wow Ron!! Thanks a lot, that's a very interesting analysis! Cheeers from a portuguese fan!

  62. c.... ....

    our band could be your life...

    c.... ....

    such a good book!

    c.... ....

    Thanks for reminding me about that book! My mom has it in a box somewhere in a storage unit, sadly, bc they moved houses while I was abroad, as I no longer live in the US... Still, there's always Amazon... Would deffo reread that...it's been at least a decade and a half since I last got to enjoy it...

    Sorry for the ramble... I'm majorly sleep deprived...

  63. M.... M....

    masterpiece

    The apex of their entire career.

    T.... ....

    @darthmon26 Don't know that, I'm fine with their first 3 records (especially the first, really underrated, their best after YLAOM). Not gonna buy anything more from them since I was disappointed with Green Mind and Where You Been. Btw my comment was referring to the song, my first Dino's. :-)

    T.... ....

    @darthmon26 Omg, curse you! I'm listening to this again and it's bringing me to tears. Cannot bear it, too much nostalgia.

    T.... ....

    +TvuxoRoiale If you get the chance, you should take a listen to their newer albums, especially Farm. They're great.

    T.... ....

    farm is probably my favourite album by them, beyond and bet on sky are cool too
