lyrics

hey I'm a fish
I live in the sea
hey I'm a fish
I hang out near the quay

hey I'm a fish
I hide where it's dark
and though I am pretty
it's impossible to set me apart

hey I'm a fish
I have eyes on my cheeks
God sliced open my face
so that I could breathe

and I can swim

I think in a group
I follow, I don't lead
I'm just a single troop
in the Grand Marine Army

no sense of myself
no sense that I'm alive
but because I'm a fish
it's not that hard to survive

and I can swim

being like me doesn't really have a downside
I never wonder what it's like on the outside
I'm perfectly content to spend the rest of my life under the sea

and I've got everything I need
here beneath the sea with me
I'm living my life and it doesn't really matter how I die

I could choke on plankton
choke on crustaceans
choke on a mollusk
or choke on another fish
get buried in sand
eaten by crustaceans
eaten by a mollusk
or eaten by another fish
jump out of the water
dry out on a dock somewhere
shrivel in the sun and get plopped back down again
then get eaten by a shark who would spit me back out again
and shoot me in pieces back to the bottom of the sea
but i don't care

because I am a fish
I live in the sea
I hang out near the quay
don't you want to be me?

I’d describe Speedy Ortiz’s sound as very brash yet very melodic. The chord progressions and melodies are so wacky and out of place in a way that shouldn’t work but somehow still does, and I’m in love with it. Arin with an i
