Fish
Echoes of Regret: Unraveling the Emotional Tapestry in 'Fish' by The Busters
Lyrics
I never cared about, whether my snoring was too loud
I didn't care if my snoring was too loud.
I never sat down to piss, I never cared if you missed
I never adopted behaviors traditionally associated with being considerate, like sitting down to urinate.
Birthday greetings every other year
I only offered birthday greetings every other year.
How was I to know, that you wanted me to go
I was unaware that you wanted me to leave.
Now I pack all my things and take back my rings and go
In response to your desire for separation, I'm packing my belongings, retrieving my rings, and leaving.
Where memories keep me warm
I find solace in memories.
When the fish are jumping it ain't got that something
When life lacks excitement or fulfillment, even enjoyable activities like fish jumping don't provide satisfaction.
No its never gonna be the same
Things will never be the same.
Grasshoppers, bees they don't know my desease
Grasshoppers and bees are oblivious to my troubles or sorrows.
They ignore me it's a crying shame
Others neglect or disregard my problems, and it's regrettable.
We got really close, until I broke your mothers nose
We became close, but our relationship suffered when I accidentally harmed your mother.
When I fell down that ladder, I was drunk that don't matter
Despite my intoxicated state, a fall from a ladder occurred, which is insignificant.
Showin' your father my pile of playboy zines
I inappropriately shared my collection of Playboy magazines with your father.
How was I to know, that you wanted me to go
Similar to line 5, I didn't realize you wanted me to leave.
Now I pack all my things and take back my rings and go
Reiterating my departure and reclaiming my belongings in response to your desire for separation.
Where memories keep me warm
I find comfort in memories.
When the fish are jumping it ain't got that something
Even with the excitement of fish jumping, life lacks a certain fulfillment.
No its never gonna be the same
Things will never be the same.
Grasshoppers, bees they don't know my desease
Grasshoppers and bees remain ignorant of my troubles.
They ignore me it's a crying shame
Others neglect or disregard my problems, and it's regrettable.
Asskicked and fooled, and severly schooled
I've experienced defeat, deception, and thorough education through challenging circumstances.
That's how you'd find me if you'd bother to see me again
If you were to see me again, you'd find me defeated and wiser.
