about

'Rue' is the result of the four of us getting together in a dingy studio, decidedly rolling up our sleeves and reaching out for emo-like catharsis. We wanted to create something that fused the plucky call-to-rage of yesterday's punk with the tenderness of human doubt and uncertainty. This song is the blending of those two contradictions, our idea of a lyrical see-saw—it encapsulates the feeling of being weighed down by your insecurities, trying courageously to rise above them, and still worrying your best might not be enough. It's about fear and anxiety. It's also about hope. It's about regretting that that hope might be fragile. It's about persevering nonetheless. It's about fighting back with everything you have. It's about being unsure. And it's about regret again.
'Rue' is what it feels like to move within this conflicting cycle of indecision, belief, and sadness. It's what it means to be human. Now more than ever.

lyrics

This is the beginning
Beginning of the end
A coward dies a thousand lonely deaths
A soldier dies just once

This is the land that I have earned
I will see it burn in my own flames
Ready to die since I was born
Fade away to the unknown

Ooh oooh

This is my land

Oooh oooh


I know what it's like to be here
So here's my descent,
Here's my fall.

This is the beginning
Or Is this the end, my friend?

about

Fish in the Sink KL, India

Influenced from the grief-struck, howling guitars of grunge and fashioned from the dynamic complexity of progressive rock, Fish in the Sink was formed in 2015 by four musicians from Chennai with far too many hours spent in front of the computer.
The band's sound can best be described as a generous serving of tonal dissonances, crushing riffs, and rhythmic effervescence.
