Aquarium
Hosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold water and no sound
I’m sinking slowly to the bottom
A goldfish family
Is swimming next to me
I’m trying to catch one of its bubbles
And it’s a fishy smelling place here
The less I breathe the more I fear
And slide along this shining prison made of glass
And I think:
Now I’m swimming and I’ll do it to the last
To the last- I’ll swim
To the last- I’ll breathe
In this never-ending fishy dream
Slide along- Frontier of glass
Now I’ll swim- Swim to the last
And your eyes outside
Wide open, magnified
They look like two black tunnels
I’m longing for the day
We’ll find a common way
Outside of this glassy prison
The lyrics of Hosh's song Aquarium describe the experience of sinking to the bottom of an aquarium and the sense of confinement and isolation. The singer describes the blue and green colors that surround them, as well as the cold water and absence of sound. As they sink slowly to the bottom, they come across a family of goldfish swimming next to them. The singer is fascinated by the bubbles that the goldfish release and tries to catch them. However, they soon realize that the aquarium is a "shining prison made of glass" and experience a sense of fear as they sink deeper and breathe less.
Despite this, the singer resolves to keep swimming and breathing until the very end. They describe their experience as a "never-ending fishy dream" and slide along the "frontier of glass" as they swim. The singer also longs for the day when they can find a way to escape the aquarium and its confinement. The lyrics end with a mention of the eyes of those outside the aquarium, which appear as "two black tunnels." The singer longs for a day when they can find a common way outside of the "glassy prison."
Overall, the lyrics of Aquarium explore themes of isolation, confinement, and the longing for freedom. The aquarium is portrayed as a beautiful but ultimately restrictive and limiting environment, representing the struggles of the human condition.
