to begin with, i believe it's obvious thom's actually not saying "we're fishes" (that sounds really funny though, and don't get me started on ALL i mishear from thom's purposely muffled accent) but "weird fishes", since the title of the track on the record says "weird fishes/arpeggi". secondly, i don't know about the search for god, to me it sounds more like someone obsessively and slef-distructively infatuated with someone whose eyes haunt them, to the extent where they get lost in it and would go to any lengths. yes, for a bloody pair of eyes. i'm only saying this because i myself have had the rather uplifting yet daunting experience of being almost literally dragged around by the eyes of mean little person who was out to break my heart, but of whom i was not wary. "everybody left if they got the chance", but i just stared back, hypnotized, waiting to "get eaten by the worms and weird fishes" as "i hit the bottom". so, there.
