"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl"
- Pink Floyd
About this Quote
This quote from Pink Floyd's song "Wish You Were Here" is a metaphor for the sensation of being lost and alone in a world that is too big and overwhelming. It speaks to the concept that we are all just little fish in a huge pond, struggling to understand our lives and our location worldwide. The fishbowl is a sign of the minimal scope of our lives, and the two lost souls represent the individual's feelings of seclusion and confusion. The tune is a suggestion that we are all in this together, and that we can discover convenience in knowing that we are not alone in our battles. It is a suggestion to take an action back and appreciate the charm of life, even when it seems like we are swimming in a fishbowl.
"I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now"
"I never told my father I loved him before he died, and I have a lot of issues about that. They're all swimming around in my head, in my heart, unresolved, and in a way it felt fitting to dedicate the film to him"
"Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is"
