Cover art for Small Fish lyrics by Porcupine Tree

Wow, Pangui, that's a really original way of looking at it. I'd never have thought of the song in that way, but now you say it, it does make sense. I thought it was about being a small cog in the big machine of society... being just one person among millions of others, who are all the same. I thought the fisherman was like some sort of leader, one person who stands out from the rest, but my interpretation was a little vague. I think yours is better lol.
