Dive in, folks! We're about to dissect a 90s alt-rock classic that's as enigmatic as it is catchy. "Cannonball" seems to revolve around the theme of chaotic freedom and unapologetic individuality. The lyrics, "I know you, little libertine," point towards someone who lives life on their own terms, even if it means being a 'cuckoo cannonball'. The repeated line, "Spitting in a wishing well," could symbolize rejecting conventional hopes and dreams. Our protagonist might be 'the last splash' - the final rebel in a conformist world. And hey, who doesn't love the promise of being someone's 'whatever they want', even if it's just 'the bong in this reggae song'? So strap in for this wild ride and embrace your inner cannonball!
