Stepa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You taste so good, fragranced by it
Get your scale on, reflect a bit
I'm so boring you bit your lip
Come with me sit by the aquarium
Watch the fish scales cover everyone
Take the light right through the cranium
Wasting time turn at delirium
Drip by drip my optimism
Get my hopes up, conversation
Open spaces salutations
Simple similarities between us and complication
My color stick and rings lead me to doubt my intuition
All is well for now until the sun has dried the river
Cry me one and that'll be the love I had to give her
In Stepa's song "Aquarium," the lyrics describe a feeling of being stuck in a state of boredom and repetition, without much excitement or novelty in life. The metaphor of a face being a cigarette perhaps suggests that people or situations can be addictive and pleasurable in the short term, but ultimately harmful in the long run. The line "Get your scale on, reflect a bit" could be interpreted as an invitation to introspection, to weigh the pros and cons of certain choices or behaviors. The aquarium can be seen as a space of refuge or escape from the mundane, where the fish scales covering everyone suggest a sense of unity or interconnectedness. The line "Wasting time turn at delirium" implies a desire to break free from the monotony of life, even if it means going a bit crazy. The singer's optimism is fragile ("drip by drip") and their intuition is clouded by external pressures ("my color stick and rings lead me to doubt").
Overall, "Aquarium" seems to be a meditation on the struggle to find meaning and satisfaction in life, and the tension between conformity and individuality. The aquarium represents both a place of conformity (everyone is covered by fish scales) and a place of escape (the singer can watch from a distance). The song suggests that even in moments of despair or confusion, there is still potential for connection and love ("Cry me one and that'll be the love I had to give her").
