Incomplete
Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beaming on down to our home, but I'm watching you
I've got half a million bills to pay
You never hear a word I say; I dream of you
Oh, I feel so incomplete
Oh, oh, it seems so incomplete
If we could only close the distance
If we could only fill the space
That's grown between us over time
You don't hear me anymore
You don't touch me anymore
You don't know me anymore
There's a wedding dress in a suitcase
Full of memories in the attic; I think of you
Where the ghosts of summer butterflies
They gather in the dust; I long for you
Oh, I feel so incomplete
Oh, oh it seems so incomplete
If we could only bring those days
Back when there were never wounds to heal
When everything was perfect
And the dream we had was real
You don't hear me anymore
You don't touch me anymore
You don't know me anymore
Oh, I feel so incomplete
Oh, oh it seems so incomplete
When there were never any questions
Over who or what we were
And the future only promised
All the answers to our prayers
You don't hear me anymore
You don't touch me anymore
You don't know me anymore
Fish's song "Incomplete" is a heartbreaking tale of a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics speak of the distance that can grow between two people, even when they seem to be physically close. The singer feels incomplete, as if something is missing, and it becomes clear that the relationship they once had has faded away.
The first verse paints a picture of someone who is distracted by the world around them, but can't stop thinking about the person they love. The imagery of the one hundred-forty stations on satellite beaming down to their home makes it clear that there is a lot of noise and distraction that can get in the way of true connection. The singer may have half a million bills to pay, but their mind is on their loved one.
The second verse takes a more somber turn, speaking of a wedding dress in a suitcase and memories in the attic. This is an indication that the relationship has been fraught with pain and heartbreak, even while the singer longs for the early days when everything was perfect. They long to go back to that simpler time, when there were never any questions over who they were or what they meant to each other.
In the chorus, the singer repeats their feeling of incompleteness. They long for a time when they were fully connected to their loved one, with no barriers or questions in between them. But now, they feel alone and unheard, wondering where the love has gone.
Fish's "Incomplete" is a haunting song about love that has lost its way. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt the distance creep in between them and someone they love. The imagery of the wedding dress and the memories in the attic make it especially poignant, as it speaks to the pain that can arise when love fades away.

We got one hundred-forty stations on satellite
Beaming on down to our home, but I'm watching you
I've got half a million bills to pay
You never hear a word I say; I dream of you
Despite having plenty of entertainment options and financial obligations, I am still focused on you. However, it seems like my feelings and thoughts are falling on deaf ears, which makes me feel frustrated and unimportant.
If we could only close the distance
If we could only cross these lines
If we could only fill the space
That's grown between us over time
I wish there was a way to bridge the gap between us, to eliminate the emotional distance and tension that has developed between us over the years.
There's a wedding dress in a suitcase
Full of memories in the attic; I think of you
Where the ghosts of summer butterflies
They gather in the dust; I long for you
Reminders of our past and discarded dreams are still present in my life. Whenever I see them, I am filled with intense thoughts and feelings of longing for you.
If we could only bring those days
Back when there were never wounds to heal
When everything was perfect
And the dream we had was real
I am nostalgic and yearning for the days when our relationship was ideal and uncomplicated. I wish we could have that back, free from any emotional pain or turmoil.
When there were never any questions
Over who or what we were
And the future only promised
All the answers to our prayers
Our past was clear and our future seemed full of hope, without any doubt or insecurity. I long for the simplicity and certainty we had in our relationship back then.
You don't hear me anymore
You don't touch me anymore
You don't know me anymore
I feel like I have become invisible and meaningless to you. You no longer listen to me, physically connect with me, or understand me like you used to.
Oh, I feel so incomplete
Oh, oh, it seems so incomplete
My unsatisfied emotional and physical needs have left me feeling empty and deficient in some way. It's a persistent feeling that is always present in my life.
