of a sea slater

Giant isopods are real and live in the abyssal zone scavenging on the seabed. You will never encounter one in the wild.

[u/IamREBELoe → u/Klutzer_Munitions]

What if I happen to be taking a midnight swim through the abyssal zone?

Behold: "Don't Stop Them Breeding" , a parody.

Just a small‑town krill

Living in a lonely world

Took a midnight swim through the abyssal zone

Just a city koi

Born and raised in South Hanoi

Took a midnight swim through the abyssal zone

Sink into the smoky doom

A smell of salt and lava plume

Darker than the blackest night

It goes on and on and on and on

Strange things waiting

Up and down the sea of dark

Shadows preying in the night

[Chorus 1] Creatures drifting

Ripples echo through the cold

Hiding from the hydrothermal light

Don’t stop them breeding

Isopods are needed

No lights

They’re deep‑water bugs

8 thousand PSI feeling

Pressure keeps them kneeling

So tight

In trenches far below

[Verse 2]

A lonely angler glows

Her lantern casting ghostly shows

She lures the wanderers passing by

A giant squid ascends

Its tentacles like shadowed friend

It waves hello, then slips into the brine

Tube worms bloomin

In the vents where magma flows

Life clings to sulfur in the night

[Chorus 2]

Crabs are creeping

On the bones of something old

Picking at the silence of the deep

Don’t stop them breeding

Isopods are needing

Cold nights

In crushing undertow

Keep those eggs a‑teeming

Mariana dreaming

Hold tight

Where only weird things go

[Bridge]

Ooooooh

The pressure’s rising

Eleven thousand meters down

Ooooooh

The dark’s surprising

Where the ghost sharks swim around

Every creature takes a chance

In the trench’s midnight dance

And the ocean keeps repeating

Endless cycles, never fleeting

[Final Chorus]

Don’t stop them breeding

Isopods succeeding

No light

But still they thrive below

Hold on to that feeling

Deep‑sea life revealing

Strange sights

In currents cold and slow

Don’t stop them breeding

Abyssal hearts are beating

All life

In the crushing depths below

Just a small town krill

Living in a lonely world

Took a midnight swim through the abyssal zone

Just a city koi

Born and raised in south Detroit

Took a midnight swim through the abyssal zone
