Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jesus Average	#1 by Jesus Christ at Oct 1, 2007 at 5:30 PM EST
	Or, if it's not about a goldfish, then I'd agree with circaofsurvival. Yeah, that's very good interpretation (sp).

No Picture Devin Average	#2 by Devin Moreno at Oct 4, 2007 at 4:00 PM EST
	jbandy10 thankyou for saying even depressed people can have fun sometimes!! Mwah!! so.. i was reading these lyrics.. and i was like haha ok the goldfish thing is a neat metaphor or whateva they call it.. but seriously is this song about a goldfish?? called penolope?? this is one of the most diverse bands i think ive ever heard.. they sing heartfelt songs about goldfish.. and amazing songs about everything else while taking the time to write a few songs about taking the piss outta rap.. which i am all in favor for!! lol love saosin

No Picture Murders in the Average	#3 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Oct 7, 2007 at 2:38 PM EST
	omg the pinback version sucks. its a lot faster and nowhere near as heartfel as Saosin

No Picture Ricky Rhythm Player	#4 by Ricky Cribb at Oct 8, 2007 at 2:05 AM EST
	I agree with circaofsurvival. It is not about a goldfish even though it is very easily linked to a goldfishes life in some ways. The part about "..raindrops falling down, seeping through your red scales." gives it away that it is about a drug abuser. Most likely a heroine addict. After a user takes it, the foil used in the process of making it, is forced out of your body through your skin creating "Red Scales", on your arms. So yeah. That's my thought.

No Picture Freddy Badass	#5 by Freddy Timmons at Oct 8, 2007 at 7:23 AM EST
	i definately like what saosin did with this song oh and btw it's "para mi corazon" not "para me corazon" they're pronounced completely differently

No Picture Berenice Average	#6 by Berenice Issaris at Oct 8, 2007 at 8:46 AM EST
	it means "for my heart" in spanish. as far as the lyrical content of this song goes, the song is originally by Pinback, a very good band who write some very interesting songs. why Saosin chose to cover it, I dont know. perhaps they are fans of Pinback and chose to cover it out of respect for them, as a tribute of sorts... As much as i like the original, i also really like what saosin did with the song. they completely changed the tempo and gave it a different spin. kudos to both saosin and pinback for this great song :)

No Picture The Angel of De Lead Player	#7 by The Angel of Death at Oct 9, 2007 at 9:12 PM EST
	This is a cover they did for the pinback song "penelope" and i my be crazy but i think the song is about a pet fish that died lol.... but hey i could be wrong lol

No Picture floyd Lead Player	#8 by floyd lloyd at Oct 13, 2007 at 7:32 PM EST
	That's what I thought, too, when I listened more & started looking at the lyrics. For a song supposedly about a pet [gold]fish, it's so heartfelt. I like Saosin's cover of the song :)

No Picture Lenny Judd (Pap Wanna Be	#9 by Lenny Judd (Papa Smurf) at Oct 13, 2007 at 11:11 PM EST
	Before I ever heard the song my friends told me that it is about a goldfish that died, so I never doubted it, but now that circaofsurvival (an obvious fan, judging by the name) mentioned that it is about a drug addiction I would have to agree. Well done.

No Picture kyle Rhythm Player	#10 by kyle perry at Oct 14, 2007 at 2:17 PM EST
	pinback are awesome, but its pretty weird that saosin covered them.

No Picture Average	#11 by vix at Oct 15, 2007 at 4:56 AM EST
	!!what!its about a fuckin goldfish! all along! i thought it had some deep meaning. oh well its an awesome song anyways. yay pinback for making this song and yay saosin for covering it. and i dont think " is it dropsy" and its " will your lungs swell"

No Picture aleXeXeX Rhythm Player	#12 by aleXeXeX at Oct 17, 2007 at 12:12 PM EST
	Oh yeah cosmic kisses, (I'm a filipino too :P) and what I think about the song is that, yeah, it's all about a fish. But what the hell?! Songwritters most of the time when they write songs and refer about literal stuff, they would likely to put more deep meanings to it. Like they make connections on everything. Just like poetry.
