Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
Why don't you leave this aquarium
It is all in your head
When she causes system overload
Ah, lucky i don't care
Cause i'm far too tar today
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can can see yoo-ou through the glass
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
When i try to get away
I'm gonna hurt myself but not today
I'm gonna hold you
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
Why don't you leave this aquarium
It is all in your head
When she causes system overload
Ah, lucky i don't care
Cause i'm far too tar today-yeaheah
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
And i try to get away
I'm gonna hurt myself but not today
I'm gonna hold you
Cause it's not the same
It's not the same way
Ah, i'm gonna try to keep it all inside
My precious mine
I'm gonna hold you close
But not today, i'm gonna feel the most
It's not the same, it's not the same way
Ah, i'm gonna try to keep it all inside
My precious mine
I'm gonna hold you but i found out
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
Why don't you leave this aquarium
Hey, i can see yoo-ou through the glass
Hey
The lyrics of Redcharly's song "Aquarium" seem to portray a person asking someone else to leave what appears to be a mental state or condition represented metaphorically as an aquarium. The repetition of the phrase "Why don't you leave this aquarium" emphasizes the urgency of the matter, as if the person speaking wants the other to snap out of it and return to reality. The fact that the person can see the other "through the glass" heightens the sense of separation and disconnection between them, suggesting that the person inside the aquarium is isolated and needs to be rescued.
The lyrics mention a "system overload" caused by someone else, which may refer to a triggering event or person that pushed the person into the aquarium state. However, the singer seems to distance themselves from the situation, as the line "lucky I don't care" suggests a lack of emotional involvement or concern. The repetition of the phrase "but not today" in the line "I'm gonna hurt myself but not today" suggests a postponement of self-destructive behavior, and the ultimate resolution to "hold you close" emphasizes the need for human connection and comfort.
