The song is sang in a fishes' perspective, and seems to be unnerved by the hundreds of eyes staring at it through the other side of the tank – which the fish cannot see. Because of this, the fish either finds itself digging a hole to hide itself in, or have the impulse to jump out the nearest window...
[Intro]
Living in a fish bowl
And I can't get my shakes out, when everybody sees me, but I can't see them
I'm just a little fishy in a big world, yeah
And all the big fish looking at me funny, tap-tapping on the glass, wa-watching while I dig-dig myself a big hole
[Verse]
Weekend in July
Drove for twenty-four hours, but I made it
You beg me, "Just be nice"
If you want some peace, gotta become what you hate now
[Chorus]
Made your mama cry
'Cause I'm some chum dumb enough to say what's on my mind now
I just wanna die
Escape a hundred eyes, gonna jump right out the window
[Post-Chorus]
Living in a fish bowl
And I can't get my shakes out, when everybody sees me, but I can't see them
I'm just a little fishy in a big world, yeah
And all the big fish looking at me funny, tap-tapping on the glass, wa-watching while I dig-dig myself a big hole
[Interlude]
And as the heads of her enemies tumbled to the floor
She began to wonder
Is it better to be right or to be loved?
[Chorus]
Made your mama cry
'Cause I'm some chum dumb enough to say what's on my mind now
I just wanna die
Escape a hundred eyes, gonna jump right out the window
[Post-Chorus]
Living in a fish bowl
And I can't get my shakes out, when everybody sees me, but I can't see them
I'm just a little fishy in a big world, yeah
And all the big fish looking at me funny, tap-tapping on the glass, wa-watching while I dig-dig myself a big—
Living in a fish bowl
And I can't get my shakes out, when everybody sees me, but I can't see them
I'm just a little fishy in a big world, yeah
And all the big fish looking at me funny, tap-tapping on the glass, wa-watching while I dig-dig myself a big hole
[Outro]
And I can't get my shakes out
I can't see them
I can't see them
I just wanna die
And I can't get my shakes out
