FISHING FOR FISHIES
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
Don't matter to kiss
And put that poor fishie should be free
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
All heights honk
Ego tied in knots they fade
Don't do it
You ain't a God
Don't hunt salmon, carp or cod
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
It seems like cruelty to me
And I'm hungry, leave them be
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
All heights honk
Egos tied in knots they fade
Don't do it
You ain't a God
Don't hunt salmon, carp or cod
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
I've left them swum
I've left them swum
I've left them swum
I've left them swum
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
The song "Fishing for Fishies" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a commentary on the impact of overfishing on the environment and the ethical implications of killing fish for sport or food. The song expresses a sense of guilt and remorse for participating in the act of fishing and causing harm to innocent creatures. The first and last verses of the song are almost identical and they emphasize the band's sentiment of wanting to leave the fish alone and let them swim freely. The chorus highlights the irony that fishing doesn't make anyone happy, not the fish nor the fisherman.
The lyrics imply that people who hunt fish, salmon, carp or cod for sport or food may be driven by their own ego and the need to assert their dominance over nature. The line "All heights honk/Ego tied in knots they fade" conveys that the pursuit of fishing is motivated by social status and human power play. The repetition of the phrase "Or me neither/I feel so sorry for fishies" throughout the song emphasizes the guilt and empathy of the singer and reinforces the message that fishing is cruel and unnecessary.
In conclusion, "Fishing for Fishies" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a message to society to acknowledge the harm we are causing to the environment and the living creatures that inhabit it, and to rethink our values and behavior towards aquatic life. The song is a plea for empathy and compassion towards fish and for the preservation of the natural world.

I don't understand you
(I don't understand you)
I just don't understand you
(I don't understand you)
I don't understand the things you say
I can't understand a single word
I don't understand you
(I don't understand you)
I just don't understand you
(I don't understand you)
I cannot understand you
(I don't understand you)
I don't understand you
(I don't understand you)
I heard a sound, I turned around
I turned around to find the thing
That made the sound
Mysterious whisper
Mysterious whisper
Mysterious whisper
Mysterious whisper
The day that love came to play
I'm having a heart attack
I'm having a heart attack
I'm having a heart attack
I'm having a heart attack
Fingertips
Fingertips
I walk along darkened corridors
And I walk along darkened corridors
I walk along darkened corridors
And I walk along darkened corridors
