Aquarium
Misanthrope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please elude my lonely waiting
Awaiting for a sea
A shine through my aquarium
Cristal prison of elizium
The sleepless soul of decorum
Leave my body in anachronism
I will fade away:
Radiant opium elevation

Won't be my sommertimes
Take the deam, lead me
Own my inside, be my shelter
End this moment of infinity
Out stretched arms lay down next to me,
As tell-tale winds stand pail
Morphic ocean
In my mirror halls
The mellow rhythm of slaw rainfall

Hammer my pure splitted foam
Chrome wings of goldenfish paraded
Creep on the horizon
Boil condensed liquid
Around walls of corridors
Dry up my carapace
To nudity they scale off my bright bohemian shines

Anathematized amphora

Wich sinner could go to paradise?
Who could fly with no wings?
Who could live with mankind without a tear?
I'm the paradise sinner!
I could fly with no wings!




But I can't live with our fuckin' mankind without a tear falling!
Let me spleen...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Misanthrope's song Aquarium describe a feeling of loneliness and a desire to escape from reality. The singer longs for a sea, but is trapped in a crystal prison, symbolized by an aquarium. They describe themselves as a sleepless soul of decorum, indicating a feeling of being restless and perhaps repressed. The singer wishes to leave their body in anachronism, to fade away into a state of opium elevation.


The second verse of the song begins with a plea for someone to "take the deam, lead me" and "own my inside, be my shelter." The singer seeks comfort and escape from their current existence. They describe outstretched arms, but also the tell-tale winds standing pale. This creates a sense of disappointment or rejection. The singer then sees a morphic ocean in their "mirror halls" and hears the mellow rhythm of slow rainfall, indicating that they are lost in their own daydreams.


The final verse of the song ends with a description of the singer's body being hammered and their bohemian shines scaled off. They describe themselves as anathematized amphora, symbolizing a cursed vessel. The last lines of the song suggest a deep sadness and frustration with humanity: "I'm the paradise sinner! / I could fly with no wings! / But I can't live with our fuckin' mankind without a tear falling! / Let me spleen..."
