The Fish Inside Me Lyrics

I live under the lake
I just woke up that way
the fish inside of me
but I'm still so lonely

the ice melted and flooded
the city up to its fiftieth floor
the elevator wasn't working
so we had to take the stairs

I live under the lake
I just woke up that way
the fish inside of me
but I'm still so lonely

the moon suddenly stopped working
the waves got quiet and I forgot
I focused on the stairs above me
I turned around and headed straight back home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Fish is a metaphore for something longing to travel round the seas of the world to know every wonder hidden in any corner.
