[Intro] (Feedback squeal fades into a heavy, chugging bass line. Drums kick in—kick, snare, kick-kick, snare.) [Verse 1] 3 A.M. and the house is dead Static noise inside my head The TV screen is gray and white But in the corner, there’s a light The filter hums a broken tune A motor dying in the living room I haven’t slept since Tuesday night Just hypnotized by the artificial light [Pre-Chorus] (Guitars ramp up, becoming jagged and loud) Tap on the glass, they don't react I'm looking in, are they looking back? Suspended there in time and space Just staring at a plastic face! [Chorus] (Full distortion, crashing cymbals—wall of sound) My fish tank is blue! Electric sapphire, neon hue It’s lighting up the floor I don’t go outside anymore Yeah, my fish tank is blue! And I think that I am, too I think that I am, too! [Verse 2] (Music drops back to just bass and drums, tense and quiet) The diver stands on gravel stones A plastic king on a plastic throne He never breathes, he never floats Just bubbles caught in silent throats Round and round the goldfish go A three-second memory, a pathetic show I wish I could forget like that Erase the world in seconds flat [Pre-Chorus] (Guitars swelling again) Tap on the glass, cracks in the view I'm trapped inside this room with you Suspended here in time and space We're all just swimming in the same place! [Chorus] (Full energy) My fish tank is blue! Electric sapphire, neon hue It’s lighting up the floor I don’t go outside anymore Yeah, my fish tank is blue! And I think that I am, too Yeah, I'm drowning in it too! [Guitar Solo] (A chaotic, wah-pedal heavy solo that sounds like being underwater—wobbly and distorted) [Bridge] (Rhythm guitar chugs on a single chord. Vocals start as a whisper and build to a scream) Feeding time... It’s feeding time... They eat the flakes They make mistakes They hit the wall They never fall Break the glass! BREAK THE GLASS! [Chorus] (Maximum Volume) MY FISH TANK IS BLUE! Electric sapphire, neon hue It’s lighting up the floor I don’t go outside anymore Yeah, my fish tank is blue! And I think that I am, too! [Outro] (Tempo slows down, heavy feedback) So blue. (Filter noise) Just blue. (Drums stop) My fish tank is blue. (Final chord rings out and fades into the sound of bubbling water)
