Birth Of A Fish - Eyedea & Abilities

He lives in a four by two glass box that reminds me of my head

I wish my floor would have rocks, but it’s covered with puddles instead

If I could be him, life would be great

I could erase this permanent frown

I wouldn’t even be held down by my own weight

I woke up walked to the tank to hear his thoughts on yesterday

«How was it?"I asked And after a tap on the glass

He looked my way then gave me this depressed expression

And pressed his best just to say;

„Besides the tides and the grey skies, it was ok!“

And I said<"Hey mister fish, you did all that you wish

You got nothing to complain about while hanging out in this abyss»

And he replied «Well existence is bliss, there’s so much that you missed

Besides get off the trip, happiness is just a myth»

I said «Living in water is extremely more peaceful than life confined to a mind

Blinded by evil, and forced to see through these two peep holes

It seems I’ve redeemed freedom, not being limited by walls

But that only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls

That only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls

That only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls

That only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls'

But Mr. Fish just laughed as I went on and on and on

So I interrupted his chuckle, putting up a middle finger

And he boldly told me it’s too bad I’m such a thinker

So Arrogantly I asked «How could someone think too much?»

He added that insanity lingers and thoughts brought me to the brink of such

He said «You live inside a head that reminds me of my glass box

And everyone’s the same;

all brains are contained by your reality frame

And chained to the terrain, it’s trained not to change

And once you see what I’ve explained you hit the jackpot»

And at that very moment it was like my eyes really opened

The air that previously surrounded me was now an ocean

Still totally invisible except for minor pieces of debris

Then Mr. Fish pushed up to the glass and he looked just like me

My whole world spun around, I didn’t understand

But I realized I was no longer a man

So I thought about what he said and asked him what was going on

And he said, «You didn’t know it but you were the fish all along»

He said, «Congratulations, you did it, you broke free

You’re just a fish, like the rest of humanity»

Now it took me a long time to get adjusted to this tank

But now I know what I am, and so to that man I give thanks

I’ve always lived inside this glass box that reminds him of his head

It just goes to show ya that your mind is your own monster

Reality is what you make it, and if you take it away

You’re just a fish, like me, swimming in the powdered water
