Lyrics
Some things in life I see
Observing aspects of life
I don't understand
Expressing confusion or lack of comprehension
Sometimes I miss the point
Acknowledging difficulty in grasping certain concepts
To things that they've planned
Referring to plans made by others
I know dead fish don't swim home
Highlighting the inevitability of certain outcomes
When the seas get left alone
Emphasizing consequences when nature is disturbed
When things don't go as well
Addressing situations not going according to plans
As they would have planned
Reflecting on deviations from intended paths
The big fish lose control
Indicating loss of control by powerful entities
Big fish on the land
Powerful entities facing challenges on unfamiliar grounds
I know dead fish don't swim home
Reiterating the inevitability of certain outcomes
When the seas get left alone
Reiterating consequences of neglecting nature
I know dead fish don't swim home
Re-emphasizing the inevitability of certain outcomes
When things go wrong
Pointing out difficulties and failures
The big fish sound the alarm
Highlighting reactions to crises by powerful entities
Potential dangers lead
Suggesting that potential dangers lead to potential calm
To potential calm
Emphasizing a cycle of crisis and resolution
I know dead fish don't swim home
Reiterating consequences of neglecting nature
When the seas get left alone
Re-emphasizing the inevitability of certain outcomes
They play their games with toys
Referring to influential entities playing with power
They welcome a war
Commenting on the readiness for conflict
When will the big fish learn
Posing a rhetorical question about the purpose of life
Just what life is for
Questioning the understanding of fundamental life principles
I know dead fish don't swim home
Reiterating consequences of neglecting nature
When the seas get left alone
Re-emphasizing the inevitability of certain outcomes
I know dead fish don't swim home
Concluding with a repetition of the inevitability theme
