Do Not Walk Outside This Area
Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For most of you it's morning but we're really in the middle of the night,
Chasing the sun, chasing the sun.
Stay in your seats until the journey's over, follow instructions
Your fear is in the luggage secured within the hold
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area.
Stacked in a holding pattern above the killing fields.
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Chasing the sun, chasing the sun.
Way down below there are trenches carved in the hillside
Shadows on contours
Dug in with orders to fight to the last man caught in a ceasefire.
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Chasing the sun, chasing the sun.
Gentlemen the briefing is as follows. At this moment both sides have withdrawn to their original defensive positions and have agreed a temporary ceasefire. I must stress that a very fragile truce exists and the slightest incident of provocation would create an extremely explosive situation.
I know they stare at the heavens where I will parley with angels,
With God's will, they will see me create another star
For my comrades in the darkness I will provide the light
With the souls of these unbelievers, I will create another star
I will create another star, I will create another star.
Chasing, we are chasing, chasing, we are chasing, chasing the sun
Do not walk outside, do not walk outside, chasing the sun.
The lyrics of Fish's song "Do Not Walk Outside This Area" evoke a sense of confinement and danger aboard an airplane in the midst of war. The passengers are instructed to stay in their seats and not walk outside the designated area, while their fear is stored away in the plane's hold. The song speaks of a cargo religion, highlighting the fact that in times of war, belief systems can be used as a form of solace and a means of coping with the horrific realities of battle. The plane is flying over war-torn landscapes, with trenches and shadows visible below.
The song's chorus, "chasing the sun", adds a feeling of desperation and urgency to the situation. It suggests that the passengers are trying to escape the darkness and uncertainty of war, but are unable to do so. The final verses of the song bring in a new voice, that of a military leader who briefs his troops on the ceasefire and warns them of the explosive possibilities if they incite any conflict.
Overall, "Do Not Walk Outside This Area" depicts the harsh realities of war and the trauma that it inflicts on individuals, even those who are not directly involved in fighting. The song also touches on the themes of confinement, fear, and the search for light in the midst of darkness.

Below us lie trenches etched into the hillside, with shadows indicating the topography where soldiers were instructed to fight until the very end, even if a ceasefire was declared

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the latest update: Both sides have pulled back to their original defensive zones and have consented to a brief ceasefire. I caution that the truce is quite weak, and any minor incidence of provocation could cause a very dangerous situation.
I know they stare at the heavens where I will parley with angels,
With God's will, they will see me create another star
For my comrades in the darkness I will provide the light
With the souls of these unbelievers, I will create another star
I will create another star, I will create another star.
I am certain they are gazing at the sky, expecting me to speak with angels. With God's blessing, I will create a new celestial object for them to see. I will serve as a light for my friends who are in darkness. Utilizing the souls of our enemies, I will bring forth another star. I will create another star, I will create another star.
Chasing, we are chasing, chasing, we are chasing, chasing the sun
Do not walk outside, do not walk outside, chasing the sun.
In pursuit, always in pursuit, chasing, never pausing, chasing the sun. Do not leave this area, do not leave, as we pursue the sun.
