Fishtank

**Fishtank** is an unreleased song by YUNGBLUD, registered to ASCAP and BMI.

## Background

It was first revealed through a leak by Dom himself. Dom leaked the demo of the song through a link in his Instagram story. On 30 July 2019, while promoting *"hope for the underrated youth"*, he used a swipe up link on his Instagram story to link his fans to the song but instead of linking to the song, he linked to a page on the locomotion database site, where audio for a demo song called "Fishtank" spelt *FISHTANK 3.0* was located. Dom only noticed after a few hours and removed the link from his story and then tweeted that he accidentally leaked an old song. Locomotion then restricted access so the public could no longer view it.

## Lyrics

[Spoken: YUNGBLUD]

Hiya, it's Dom, again.

\*Call goes to Voicemail\*

[Verse 1: YUNGBLUD, *Lauren Aquilina*]

Noughts and crosses, fundamnetal losses

Life's a big game, for the big bosses

I'm just caught up in a paper chase

Credit claim, numbers game, how many plays did you get today?

I'm sorry mate, what's your name?

It's funny when they chuckling

Say "kid, you're on your own"

'Cause this music is too different

Whilst you're choking on a chicken bone

Sniffin' all the same old stuff

I know, they assign a girl *(let's sing about love)*

Fuck off

[Pre-Chorus 1: YUNGBLUD]

It's like I'm underwater, but

I don't care now if I drown

'Cause I heard you get a buzz

Before the lights go out

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD]

I'm in a fishtank on my own

So, I'm sorry that I can't get to the phone

But I know I'll be OK

'Cause we're all going up to Heaven anyway

And you're all stood watching me

And you're keeping all your aces up your sleeve

But I know I'll be OK

'Cause we're all going up to Heaven anyway

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

We're going up to Heaven anyway

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: YUNGBLUD]

I don't see the logic, systematic

Gin and Tonic's at the [?]

Better pick up 'cause your boss is calling

Gettin' borin', you've been talking

Same talk you talk every mornin'

Food til' night, tell the kids what they like

And now it's time to get the kid another remedy

Because you're filling his head with anxiety

And you're puttin' up a gun to the self-belief

When you talk to him, when you talk to me

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD, *YUNGBLUD & Lauren Aquilina*]

*I'm in a fishtank on my own*

*So, I'm sorry that I can't get to the phone*

*But I know I'll be OK*

 *'Cause we're all going up to Heaven anyway*

*And you're all stood watching me*

*And you're keeping all your aces up your sleeve*

*But I know I'll be OK*

'Cause we're all going up to Heaven anyway

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

We're going up to Heaven anyway

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge: YUNGBLUD & Lauren Aquilina]

Lock me up and throw away the key

'Cause you can't really call this free

Lock me up and throw away the key

'Cause you can't really call this free

[YUNGBLUD, *YUNGBLUD & Lauren Aquilina*, **Lauren Aquilina**]

I'm in a fishtank on my own

So, I'm sorry that I can't get to the phone

But I know I'll be OK

 *'Cause we're all going up to Heaven anyway*

And you're all stood watching me **(all stood)**

And you're keeping all your aces up your sleeve

But I know I'll be OK

'Cause we're all going up to Heaven anyway

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) **(yeah)**

We're going up to Heaven anyway

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
