Radiohead - Weird Fishes - by Tobias Stretch

[@merilund5160]

I am an actuary from Alaska. Every day, I compile statistics on swimming related fatalities in Bristol bay. Often my life seems like a monotone ferris wheel -- people enter and depart life in such calculable ways. I have become so comfortable in my routine that I neglect to remember what makes life unique. But when I listen to this song, I remember ice fishing with my dad, catching my first bluegill, and how wonderful childhood felt. Dad can't remember this anymore, but he always smiles when this song comes on. Thank you Radiohead.

[@PopeAbibe]

After looking at the lyrics deeply, I think I figured out what the video means, at least for me. 0:54 The stop motion characters were seeing are the "weird fishes". The lyrics are about a person who's lost faith in themselves. They feel as though they are "At the bottom of the sea". But then all of a sudden, a figure appears in their lives and rekindles the spark inside of their heart. "Your eyes, they turn me". The author asks themselves "Why should I stay here?" implying they'd be crazy not to follow this new person that has resurrected the life inside them 1:47. The wood statue with the skis is the protagonist who falls in love with this amazing figure. However, we find out tragically that this newfound love was nothing but a fake promise and an illusion. The weird fishies end up betraying them, his soul reduced to a phantom, as the protagonist is led on by this fake plastic love. He follows them to the edge of the Earth and falls off after being abandonned because "Everybody leaves, if they get the chance". Having been betrayed, the main character is once again going through intense feelings of sadness and grief. Indeed, time and time again theyve let themselves been "Eaten by the worms and weird fishes" who attach themsleves on their head 3:17 , the worms and fishes symbolizing the people that have betrayed them in the past, and devoured their soul and life from the inside with their lies and broken promises. The final lyrics conclude the story with a meaning that is extremely melancholic yet bittersweet at the same time, it perfectly captivates the human condition. No matter what tragic experiences we may endure in our lives, no matter how many people break our hearts, eventually we all hit the bottom and you can only go up from there. "Ill hit the bottom and escape" At 5:02 , the wood statue person rises slowly from the ground, you can see his heart has healed as a new head grows on top of the body with a little bird appearing inside, representing rebirth and life. Bonus Easter Egg: Weird fishes = Feared wishes Edit: I'm so happy this resonated with so many people. I recently got a job in Scotland, but it turned out to be a pyramid scheme, they lied to me about so many things. They made me move all the way from France and took advantage of my dream to live and work in the UK . Be careful for the weird fishes, they're everywhere! Stay safe ♥

[@arellano1701]

I always thought the song was about a broken human being, at the lowest point in their life as stated by “bottom of the sea”, realizing they deserve better saying “why should I stay?”. Finding a toxic lover and chasing them like a fish chasing a lure, hence the person is a “weird fish” knowing they have the opportunity to get this broken promise, all that person was, was bait. Chasing the bait to “the edge of the world”. That ultimately always led to them not getting caught. The saddest part is they know what happens, they’ve seen this before as they say “everybody leaves if they get the chance”. They’ve been baited before. Yet they still turn it around and say “this is my chance”, knowing that this person is just gonna gut them or throw them back to the bottom, because they don’t want the weird fish. Hence they’re left at the bottom to get “eaten by the worms”

[@baleohhay7983]

That is a really good way of looking at it

[@graphite2786]

It's actually about weird fishes and whale falls in the deep ocean. How when a whale dies, a whole ecosystem comes to life on it's remains. These biological communities cannot exist until the death of a whale. There is a strange metaphor here that I suppose you could relate to the human condition but it's really a literal song. Thom also wrote songs for "Blue Planet 2", the BBC documentary about the ocean, narrated by David Attenborough. The ocean obviously gives him great inspiration.

There is something about this band that has always intrigued me, but only recently has it really "clicked" for me, and I have missed the feeling of enjoying something so whole heartedly you can barely contain yourself. This has invited a beauty into my life that I have been searching for. This has made me grateful to exist on this Earth. This has restored a bursting vibrance and delicate softness to my soul.

Similar for me. I've liked some songs from them for years, but earlier this year it all just clicked and I became an obsessive superfan, listening almost exclusively to Radiohead for months lol. I love that feeling. Same thing happened with the Beatles a couple years ago.

This music video is a masterpiece. It is a perfect melt of technique (a majestic usage of the stop motion) and an extrimely imaginific and poetical abstract storytelling, both wonderfully mashing with the sounds and the subject of the song.

Lyrics to this song that sounds like pure art: In the deepest ocean The bottom of the sea Your eyes They turn me Why should I stay here? Why should I stay? I'd be crazy not to follow Follow where you lead Your eyes They turn me Turn me on to phantoms (way out) I follow to the edge of the Earth (way out, way out) And fall off Yeah, everybody leaves (way out) If they get the chance (way out) And this is my chance (way out) I get eaten by the worms And weird fishes Picked over by the worms And weird fishes Weird fishes Weird fishes I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape

[@agnosticleatice3685]

Acid and this song are mindbending.

[@CrunchyElia]

This song is so atmospheric that it literally transports me to a completely new place. The first part of the song makes me feel like I am floating in the center of an infinite ocean, surrounded by powerful swirling currents and glowing fishes that swim beautifully. As these events occur, I simultaneously feel a deep inner pain that makes me crawl into a ball to compress a feeling of unimaginable loneliness, but to feel an incredible feeling of freedom. In complete contrast, the second part of the track surrounds me in blurry images of chaos and disorder, filth and violence, that flash and tug on me. What's even stranger is that the song makes me feel completely dissociated from this chaos, it makes me feel unfazed and powerful. When the world around you flows beautifully, you hurt. When the world around you seems to spiral in chaos, you're unaffected. This song is so poetic it hurts.

The first night I spent with my now fiancé, I discovered this song. I had never stayed out late before, and spent the best night of my life just talking to him until 2am after our shift at the restaurant we met at, getting to know him, watching movies, drinking cocktails, just being young and stupid in college. He is the most amazing human being I have ever met, and he has the most beautiful brown eyes you’ve ever seen. In the few years I’ve known him he has changed everything bad about me for the better and my entire perspective and path in life. I’m closer to God, I quit vaping, I just became a better person in general. Every time I hear this song now I go back to that night. I can’t believe how blessed I am to have found him and that I get the privilege to spend the rest of my life with him. His eyes really did turn me ;)
