Fishes on the Line
Freedom's Dance: Unraveling the Enigmatic Tale of 'Fishes on the Line'
Lyrics
The fish is on the line
The fish is caught on the fishing line.
He's wriggled off this time and now he's free
The fish has managed to escape this time and is now free.
The fish is doing well
The fish is doing well, possibly in its newfound freedom.
Only time will tell
The outcome of the fish's well-being is uncertain, and only time will reveal it.
So he needs to find out why
The speaker expresses a need to understand the reason behind a situation.
He shouldn't try
There's hesitation or resistance to exploring the situation.
Does she even care if he's not there
Questioning if someone cares about the speaker's absence.
Oh I don't believe in this at all
Expressing disbelief or skepticism in the current situation.
There must be so much more
A desire for something more, a feeling that there's an unexplored aspect.
No I didn't mean what I just said
A denial or contradiction of a previous statement.
I meant something else instead
Clarification that the speaker meant something different than what was initially said.
The fish is under the spell
The fish is influenced or enchanted by something.
He wonders how he fell
Questioning how the speaker ended up in a certain situation.
But he never found out why
The speaker never made an effort to understand or address the situation.
He didn't try
There was a lack of effort or motivation to explore the reasons behind the situation.
Does she even care if he's not there
Questioning if someone cares about the speaker's absence (similar to line 8).
Oh I don't believe in this at all
Reiterating disbelief or skepticism in the current situation (similar to line 9).
There must be so much more
A repeated desire for something more, a belief in unexplored possibilities.
No I didn't mean what I just said
A repetition of a denial or contradiction of a previous statement (similar to line 12).
I meant something else instead
A repetition of clarification that the speaker meant something different (similar to line 13).
So sometime, it's hard to think
Reflecting on the difficulty of thinking or understanding at times.
It's like you're mind is on the blink
A metaphorical expression of mental confusion or malfunction.
You sink deep and time just flew
Sinking deep into a state where time seems to pass quickly.
