Medium Fish
Indiana Chronicles: Life in a Small Pond
Lyrics
Waaaaaahh
Expression of emotion, possibly excitement or distress.
Were headed for Stormy Weather
Anticipation of challenging times or difficulties ahead.
Yesterday it felt like winter
Reflecting on a recent period that felt cold or distant.
Today is a Tropicana
Contrasting the past with a current, more vibrant and lively atmosphere.
Welcome to Indiana
Welcoming the listener to Indiana, suggesting a change in location.
Like living in a drive through state
Describing the state as mundane or unremarkable.
Big Concerts come on a weekday
Noteworthy events like concerts occurring at inconvenient times.
Cool cities but the rest is a cornfield
Positive aspects in urban areas contrasted with rural surroundings.
Got to live and learn how to keep it real
Encouragement to live authentically and gain life experience.
Sometimes I want to pack and leave
Expressing a desire to leave the current location.
But the cost of living here is so cheap
Financial affordability as a factor in staying.
My city's really got all I need
Contentment with the city's amenities.
Ooohhhhh
Expression of emotion, possibly joy or satisfaction.
Medium fish in a small pond yeah that's me
Identifying as a moderately significant presence in a less significant environment.
Midwestern girls want to marry you
Noting local women's interest in commitment.
Little sister sure is pretty too
Appreciation for the attractiveness of a sibling.
Wide open skies of every hue
Describing the expansive and unobstructed sky.
Nobody gonna tell me what to do
Assertion of independence and resistance to authority.
Bible thumpers and red hats everywhere
Observation of conservative and patriotic elements in the environment.
Mike pence yeah let's not go there
Avoiding discussion of a controversial political figure.
Simple good people for the most part
Positive generalization about the local population.
Backward as hell but they've gotta good heart
Acknowledging traditional values despite perceived backwardness.
Sometimes I wanna pack and leave
Reiteration of the desire to leave for unspecified reasons.
But the cost of living here is so cheap
Reinforcement of the financial advantage of staying.
My cities really got all I need
Contentment with the current city's offerings.
Oooohhh
Expression of emotion, possibly joy or satisfaction (repeated).
Medium fish in a small pond yeah that's me

Aaaaaawwwwwwweeeee
Expression of emotion, possibly awe or amazement.
Sometimes I wanna pack and leave
Repetition of the desire to leave for unspecified reasons.
But the cost of living here is so cheap
Reinforcement of the financial advantage of staying.
My city's really got all I need
Contentment with the current city's offerings.
Ooooohhhhhh
