Cover art for Big Eyed Fish lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

This is just my opinion but it is based on something Dave Matthews himself said in an interview. I believe that Big Eyed Fish and most of the Lillywhite sessions songs are about Dying. Big Eyed Fish in particular is about making the wrong decisions in life and going too far. I think dave was very depressed when he wrote this song and didn't know what would happen if he changed this about his life.. I think this song was born from years and years no the road and feeling like he had to please all the people who had grown used to his style of music.. --Thats Just my opinion...
