An aquarium (plural aquariums or aquaria) is a vivarium consisting of at least one transparent side in which water-dwelling plants or animals are kept. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, marine mammals, turtles, and aquatic plants. The term combines the Latin root aqua, meaning water, with the suffix -arium, meaning "a place for relating to".
An aquarist owns fish or maintains an aquarium, typically constructed of glass or high strength acrylic plastic. Cuboid aquaria are also known as fish tanks or simply tanks, while bowl-shaped aquaria are also known as fish bowls. Size can range from a small glass bowl to immense public aquaria. Specialized equipment maintains appropriate water quality and other characteristics suitable for the aquarium's residents.
In the Roman Empire, the first fish to be brought indoors was the sea barbel, which was kept under guest beds in small tanks made of marble. Introduction of glass panes around the year 50 allowed Romans to replace one wall of marble tanks, improving their view of the fish. In 1369, the Chinese Emperor, Hóngwǔ, established a porcelain company that produced large porcelain tubs for maintaining goldfish; over time, people produced tubs that approached the shape of modern fish bowls. Leonhard Baldner, who wrote Vogel-, Fisch- und Tierbuch (Bird, Fish, and Animal Book) in 1666, maintained weather loaches and newts.
Just another day sitting by the river
As February fades.
I was fishing for my dinner
When something caught my eye
In my peripheral vision.
Have I lost my mind
If I believe in what I'm seeing?
Eyes from around the world
Stare through the glass
Of my aquarium.
Line up to see the girl,
Blessed by the curse
Of the aquarius.
Freak of nature, pay to see her
Eyes surround her like a fever.
Free me master, see me shiver,
Put me back into the river.
I won't tell a soul,
But I could make a fortune,
All those empty years of staring into my reflection.
I could bide my time, but I can't keep a secret:
She's the great discovery of the 22nd century.
Eyes from around the world
Stare through the glass
Of my aquarium.
Line up to see the girl,
Blessed by the curse
Of the aquarius.
Fortune and fame,
She's the freak of the day.
Only you made a name for yourself,
Then fell in love.
After all that he's done
To her plan that is destined to fail.
Oooh, they hit it right off.
(She freaked you out)
Eyes from around the world
Stare through the glass
Of my aquarium.
I've seen the girl
Blessed by the curse
Of the aquarius.
Freak of nature, pay to see her
Eyes surround her like a fever.
Free me master, see me shiver,
Put me back into the river.
Eyes surround me like a prison,
Heart is beating, you have listened.
Free me master, see me shiver,
When a face is a cigarette
You taste so good, fragranced by it
Get your scale on, reflect a bit
I'm so boring you bit your lip
Come with me sit by the aquarium
Watch the fish scales cover everyone
Take the light right through the cranium
Wasting time turn at delirium
Misunderstood broken to it
Drip by drip my optimism
Get my hopes up, conversation
Open spaces salutations
Simple similarities between us and complication
My color stick and rings lead me to doubt my intuition
All is well for now until the sun has dried the river
Cry me one and that'll be the love I had to give her
You never
You never
You never meant to love me
And I never
I never
I never meant to hurt you
You never meant to do those things you did for me
And I never meant to say those things I said to you
And I told you all about myself so don't you cry to me
And I told you all about myself so don't you lie to me
I'm no better than me
I'm no better than me
in the aquarium
you stroked a greasy ray
just at the end of day
way down in monterey
in the aquarium
the fish went through the trees
the planes went through the seas
and you were still with me
everything revolves around the sun
you know i'm gonna miss you when i'm gone
everything revolves
i never knew a thing about you
i never knew a thing about you
i headed in a dream towards you
i wonder if i ever saw you
but i never knew a thing about you
she says she's gonna saw her head off
she only does it for attention
like other people i could mention
she wasn't feeling good to start with
you're not someone i want to part with
all you need is love
but all you get is afraid
everything revolves around the sun
you know i'm gonna miss you when i'm gone
With all
That numbers
Mute
(25807569)
And everyone here and there
They talk so far away
My screen told
My screen told
Stay behind you'll keep it safe
Void around and ground within and
Scream if you dare
You'll put your back up against the world
Scream if you dare
Scream Now
I never never feel like home feel myself
Never feel like home even when I try
I'd rather fall asleep rather fall asleep
When my mind spits on my rest

Never feel like this even when I try to...
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet, but not as sweet as you

Sweet from the flowers,
honey from the bees
I've got a feeling, I'm ready to release
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
but not as sweet as you
It's invisible, but so touchable and,
I can feel it on my body,
so emotional
I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger

Come with me baby,
Please fulfill my wish
Show it to me truly,
Show me with a kiss
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
but not as sweet as you
It's invisible but, so touchable
And I can feel it on my body,
so emotional
I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger

Please elude my lonely waiting
Awaiting for a sea
A shine through my aquarium
Cristal prison of elizium
The sleepless soul of decorum
Leave my body in anachronism
I will fade away:
Radiant opium elevation
Won't be my sommertimes
Take the deam, lead me
Own my inside, be my shelter
End this moment of infinity
Out stretched arms lay down next to me,
As tell-tale winds stand pail
Morphic ocean
In my mirror halls
The mellow rhythm of slaw rainfall
Hammer my pure splitted foam
Chrome wings of goldenfish paraded
Creep on the horizon
Boil condensed liquid
Around walls of corridors
Dry up my carapace
To nudity they scale off my bright bohemian shines
Anathematized amphora
Wich sinner could go to paradise?
Who could fly with no wings?
Who could live with mankind without a tear?
I'm the paradise sinner!
I could fly with no wings!
But I can't live with our fuckin' mankind without a tear falling!
Let me spleen...
