about

This is a song I quite literally wrote about a fish who I watched in a tank for a few hours in Melbourne. His name was Kevin.

Kevin was disabled and suffered from a swim bladder disorder which caused him to swim and also sink upside down in his tank. The song speaks of life in flux and encourages us to remain open-minded and positive regardless of the hardships we face.

Kevin just kept on swimming and he saw the tank in a way that the "normal" fish (named Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer) could not. I was endeared to his struggles and also saw great character in him... he was more than a fish. This song is an homage to my fishy friend, rest in peace.

lyrics

Floatin’ on the bottom of the deep again.
Upside down in waters deep again.
Can’t remember the last time
I saw the world like it was right.
Everything is topsy turvy
Can’t seem to focus my eyes

When the world just seems so upside down
It’s okay to flip it round
See it from another point of view
When the world just seems so out of touch.
Try to see the beauty of it
And change your point of view
Change your point of view.

Stuck between the same two rocks again.
Glassy eyed it all seems strange again.
Bored or elated not sure what’s inside my head.
Everything is so unscrewed
Can’t seem to focus my mind.

When the world just seems so upside down
It’s okay to flip it round
See it from another point of view
When the world just seems so out of touch.
Try to see the beauty of it
And change your point of view
Change your point of view.

It’s like I’m drowning in a fish tank sometimes
I forget that I have limbs
Bubbles in my head my chest my lungs
Don’t let me sink
Somebody teach me how to swim
Somebody teach me how to swim

Oooh Oooh Oooh

When the world just seems so upside down
It’s okay to flip it round
See it from another point of view
When the world just seems so out of touch.
Try to see the beauty of it
And change your point of view
Change your point of view.
