Hippo Campus - Fisheye Lyrics






Living out our lives through a fisheye lens
Chronic apathy
At least we pretend in our hearts
We are apart
No aspirations in a mirrored mind
Chronic apathy
But we're fine in our hearts
We are apart

Looking straight through what lies ahead
Throw up any charm
Beg it to stay in our hearts
We are apart
Drive that drive to outer space
Trust me love
We got empty weight in our hearts
We are apart

I know our time is running out
I know our names
I know our time is running out
I know our names

Trust me love
It don't matter 'bout the sun or the stars
Trust me love
It don't matter that the world is falling apart

That the world is falling apart
That the world is falling apart
That the world is falling apart
That the world is falling apart

Hippo Campus Fisheye Comments
  1. B.... S....

    Frick I wish I wrote this music

  2. A.... B....

    What is this from??? Why are there so many hippo campus songs I don't know about???

    A.... B....

    It's the audio from part of the band's set on July, 16, 2015 @ the Santa Monica pier.
    and here's a brief list of all the old unreleased stuff (not including the Tarzan Reject EP):
    - conviction
    - nicholas
    - fisheye
    - tidewings (I don't have this posted)

  3. D.... N....

    For being such a talented vocalist he sure did pick up the bad habit of overusing such a distinct false vibrato, like all the time. Before you start swinging on me, I can hear his ability to sing with true vibrato, throughout all their music. But damn once some singers learn how to make false vibrato it can become a real nuisance being used constantly,imo . Even though hes good at it. I read about not making it a habit long ago and when I figured it out how to fake vibrato I thought 'godammit',as it does become kind of a hard habit to break. *Literally my only complaint about the guys singing* . Dudes range is huge and takes some seriously practice, or talent, to utilize.


    Some people are probably like wtf does any of that shit mean lmao

    D.... N....

    i'm part of the "some people" group lol. he must be doing something good tho, people seem to like it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (dunno if you know this, but jake was trained as a vocalist in the opera + jazz "section" - idk if there's any correlation there).

    D.... N....

    @altereagle around 2:05 he sings 'running out *oh* ' . During the oh, you can hear a pretty clear shakiness to his voice. This shakiness, if you will, is called vibrato. A nature vibrato happens when a singer hits their optimal tessitura, the right amount of airflow regulated in and out. When a singer hits that perfect sweet spot a natural vibrato will occur. It's also possible to mimmick it by vibrating the vocal chords/throat.

    I was simply pointing out, it can be a bad habit in some cases to mimmick it too much. Which I'venoticed.. not that he doesnt have a beautiful natural and unnatural vibrato, because he does. Just something my ears have caught onto.

    And yes I'm aware of his vocal training. One of my favorite bands by far

    D.... N....

    thanks for schooling me!

  4. H.... ....

  13. a.... a....

    Glad I could help you find this! ;)

    a.... a....

    many thanks to you. after someone showed me yours, it took me longer than I’d like to admit to find the initial source (just wanted to see if they audio was better). I was honestly surprised I hadn’t come across it earlier, considering the deep diving I’ve been doing. thought i put the link in my bio to your vid but looks like i didn't so have done now!

    a.... a....

    @altereagle I know i was super shocked that i actually found it, but thanks for putting my link in the description it means a lot! and honestly thanks for making a better quality audio video of it, it sounds way better now hahah

    a.... a....

    @a a Haha you're welcome! i'm just so stoked that a full recording of the song is out in the world, even though it's bittersweet.

  14. L.... S....

    This is gorgeous. Where did you get this? I LOVE THIS

    L.... S....

    It’s from their set at the Santa Monica Pier in 2014. I recorded the audio from the original broadcast.

    L.... S....

    @altereagle That's so awesome! Thank you so much for this!

    L.... S....

    you're welcome!

  15. C.... G....

    PH SHIT YOU FOUND THE FULL YEYWUONXOJINS

  16. C.... C....

    2014-2017 Hippo Campus > 2018-2019 Hippo Campus, don’t @ me

    C.... C....

    I love Tarzan Reject so much and I’m so upset I can’t find it anywhere else besides YouTube

    C.... C....

    hm late to the convo but i agree with multiple povs i feel like landmark was better and even warm glow ep was better than bambi in terms of concept and continuity imo something about landmark just flows and there are so many moments of genius from landmark that i miss from bambi bc of all the synthetic sounds (dont get me wrong bambi is a banger) but i just feel like somethings missing from bambi and i cant quite put my finger on it even after all these months

    C.... C....

    gooby i agree. Bambi feels a bit less loaded. Maybe it’s because the songs are more honest and cut clean, but I totally wasn’t feeling it as much as I did Landmark.

    C.... C....

    Paul Hernandez yes!! idk i love “traditional” alt music i guess in the sense that HC is full of amazing individuals theyre all so ridiculously talented with their riffs and whistlers drumming is INSANE!!! i think i prefer warm glow/landmark because you can hear them do what theyre good at i feel for bambi you only get that experience if you have the opportunity to hear it live especially songs with heavier synthetic sounds like bambi itself or even doubt

    C.... C....

    Landmark is a lot better instrumentally

  17. J.... P....

    omg i love this

  18. C.... A....

    Where did you find this???

    C.... A....

    nvermnd - saw your response... wow... I have the only actual studio version, but this is COOL! THANKS!!

    C.... A....

    you’re a lucky man. If you’re ever feeling rebellious, I’m sure there’s a lot of us out here who would love to hear it ;)

    C.... A....

    Clint Allen please share

  19. A.... ....

    THANK YOU FOR THIS

  20. m.... ....

    Any chance you can get the full recordings of the youtube space nyc acoustic performance and upload? Would be awesome to hear that performance in good quality.

    m.... ....

    i think the livestream is the only place where the whole thing was recorded unfortunately. if you mean that, i'd certainly split it into all the songs and upload. otherwise i'm not too sure if i can help sorry :(

    m.... ....

    mkza I think there are some rly good vids posted by hippo campis themselves at the YouTube space acc! The acoustic cover of poems is honestly amazing

    m.... ....

    Ibby Panch257 I think they meant the other ones that hc didn’t post. also totally agree about the poems comment

    m.... ....

    altereagleana they have the whole set posted on their YouTube in one video

    m.... ....

    tanggsyy the livestream? (bc yeah I know haha)

  21. C.... C....

    where did you even find the whole song?

    C.... C....

    the band did a set in santa monica that was recorded by the venue hosts (i think idk). anyway bc it was the golden years of unreleased hc music (2014/2015), they played this song.

    C.... C....

    it's from this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuxSaIeiKAI

    C.... C....

    ​@P M i actually took the audio from this: www.apogeedigital.com/twilight-concert-series
    the audio on the other youtube video isn't the same quality :)

  22. h.... l....

    THANKS! IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG. I swear someone posted something on Twitter last year but I couldn't find it

    h.... l....

    you're very welcome. as far as i've seen it's been mainly snippets, not the full song.

  23. E.... ....

    Omfg. The whole song. My eyes r watery now. Thank u dear soul

    E.... ....

    i've been looking for full version of it for a long time - stoked to finally hear the whole thing.

  24. a.... ....

    Here’s what I think the lyrics are:
