Dave Matthews Band - Big Eyed Fish Lyrics
Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he’s dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue - purple, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded the man would not concede
And now he’s dead you see the silly man should know you got to breathe
But oh God
Under the weight of life
Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side
No way, no way
No way out of here
You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree
One day decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now lost tired living in the street
As good as dead you see what a monkey does - stay up your tree
But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side
No way, no way, no way
No way out of here
Rain in my dreams
Fall away

Dave Matthews Band Big Eyed Fish Comments
I just don't get the attraction. If DMB tried to make it in the 70's they would have been booed off stage.
2019 <3
Too bad he’s dead and he can’t see our comments 😭
My two brothers favorite band. I love this song. Just be who you are.
I’m so excited to see them in July down here in Florida their my favorite band and my second favorite band are the eagles but Dmb will always be my all time favorite band
There’s a restaurant in Fort Wayne called Big Eyed Fish.
What a story from the best storyteller.
It took me to be at a dmb concert to discover this magnificent work of art....
This and gravedigger make me burst into tears. If i ever played them back to back id probably die of dehydration.
Omg same, those 2 songs are my fav
pure genius
To Lisa
snickle tickle tickety boo, a rice cake for me, a corn cake for God ✡
Playfully haunting
wow

you're as deep as the hole grandma-ma fell down in
A Chloe Lamb video brought me here..crazy
me too, what a video though :)
Yeah hahaha
Best music💗
i miss Roi : (.....
this sone never made the main train crowd, but hard core DMB fans know this is one of his best songs! precursor to "gravedigger"
I hear real fans call him "Dave". Is this true?
I haven't listened to DMB since high school over a decade ago, but back then I was a HUGE fan. Somehow I missed this one until it popped up on Spotify last week. It's been stuck in my head since. No way out of, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere. Every single shower, every single morning... Dammit, Dave!
Brad_Chanderson I can definitely identify. I only liked a few of their songs when I was in high school over 2 decades ago, but man it has been amazing discovering them again. It’s such great music that it’s hard to listen to anything else.
please don't speak for me. "the stone" is the best song DMB ever made.
Mason Samuel <3
F#ckin' love this song!
violins are one of the many magical instruments to send shivers down your spine.of course providing that the role is well placed
Love this song
It reminds of special lady my umi
Genius. Lyrically excellent. Melodically excellent. DMB= greatest band ever.
Hot big <>~ phish
Glad they don't play this on the radio. They would have ruined it. Playing it over and over and over again. That's for me to do. Haven't wore it out yet..one of dmb's best
TUT JINSWAP Would Dave Matthews be boring over and over again ? :)
@Grasshoper [{Nas}] How would Dave Matthews be boring? I'm asking since "Big Eyed Fish" was the first Dave Matthews Band song that I ever listened to.
In the 90s this song came on the radio all the time
god DMB is so good...
Congratulations
my fav song of DMB
Amazing song
TRUE STORY
i know how to play this song on piano
Great song.
I've been looking for this all over, love this song, heard it in class
I didn't know this version. it's great though
i know this song is boss and Dave is boss!
Probably the best song in the world,not even joking.
I'm still in shock 'cause of the low views,it's been two years since this was uploaded.
best effin song
*shivers* DAT VIOLIN!
I like the other version of this song better. Still an epic song though.
Played this and Don't Drink the Water back-to-back when I saw them live. My two favorite Dave songs. My goosebumps got goosebumps.
To me, the line:
See the little monkey, sittin' up in his monkey tree
Seems really creepy. I have no clue why.
love this song :)
