Pumpkin tide is a song about imagination, isolation, and unhealthy coping mechanisms (<- commentator’s interpretation). It uses motifs and references to Problem Sleuth, particularly the concept of Weapon-Object Duality, Forts, and Pumpkins.

[Verse 1]
Destroy your desk; it's useless now
Build yourself a fort to hide
Close your eyes and crawl inside
You're sailing on the pumpkin tide
[Verse 2]
The ship you're on is yours alone
The wind will push your sweet, sweet ride
But this foreign wave just appearified
You're sailing on the pumpkin tide
[Verse 3]
Focus on the sound of my voice
You are under my control
Obey my will or I'll bury you alive
And it's you who'll dig your own damned hole
[Verse 4]
Forget your friends, what good are they?
Suckers filled with words that chide
Heads green with envy but orange with pride
Screaming at that pumpkin tide
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Listen to their whispering voice
The current where the pumpkins roam
You never saw a thing, never saw the thing you think you saw
Just shadows looking for a home
[Verse 5]
The door into your heart is locked
Its gun is buried in your mind
Too heavy to carry, but too huge to leave behind
Without it you would surely die
But even that's just another li-i-ie!
