Lyrics:
Black fins
Waiting for the tide to roll
Back in
Soakin in the sun
And I know
It’s just another
Little piece of ocean trash
And not you
Just a little ghost I keep around
Funny shadow always hangin out
If you ashes sprang to life
Would you just let me down?
Would you leave those kids again
And kick’em outta town?
I guess we’ll never know
I’ll just be here wondering what
Made you choose to go
The day that you went down to Mexico
Black fins
Full of life again and suddenly
It’s all pretend
Every manic word you wrote us
Now there’s time to mend
Every broken heart that you left
In your gust of wind
No more little ghost I keep around
No more funny shadow in my house
If your ashes sprang to life
Would you come let me down?
Would you leave those kids again
And kick them out of town?
I guess we’ll never know
I’ll just be here wondering what
Made you want to go
The day that you went down to Mexico
Black fins
One more metaphor for scuba gear
Black fins
Wish I woulda known you through the years
Black fins
Wish I never went to Illinois
Black fins
Filling up on milk and Chips Ahoy
Black fins

"If your ashes sprang to life, would you just let me down?" is such a good line. Really captures the complexity of losing someone you love, but also someone who has hurt you immensely. You might feel like you want them back, but your reasons for that are clouded by trauma.

I lost my mom to suicide when I was very young. My brother (who is 3 years older than me) and I watched the premiere and ended in tears. Thank you for this song.

I never got to know my mom I was three when she died right in the backyard of our house. One of my first memories is of the police sirens as we walked down our driveway into a family friend's car. I wasn't waiting for this alone, my sister waited for the premire with me but this song brought out more emotion than any other I've listened to. I'm sorry about your dad, to anyone actually reading this I hope you're well. Thanks for making this.

just over four months ago they found my mother washed up on a beach, I will never truly know why she did it. I was terrified of this song for the memories it would bring. thank you ricky for being able to turn such a painful thing into something that others can enjoy and listen to.

This is your best work yet Ricky, vulnerable and powerful and beautiful on so many levels. Congrats on releasing this amazing piece of art.

My Dad passed away recently and it was very sudden, I'm still so young and not quite sure what to do with myself. It fills my heart with warmth knowing there's so many people who have experienced what i have, or are still going through it. We are never alone, we're constantly surrounded by people who are going through similar things. Thank you for creating this beautiful song Ricky.

I don't know if you'll see this, but thank you for creating Black Fins. I already hold it close to me. Having you write this song gives me a sense of comfort knowing I'm not the only one who's lost a family member due to suicide. I know creating this song has helped you heal, and I hope you know that even though I've lost this person years ago, you are helping me heal more too. I have very little memory of my grandmom since she lost her battle with depression when i was a child, but you are helping me cope.💜

I haven't lost any loved ones to suicide, but I have attempted it several times in the past and still struggle to this day, and this song made me realise how I would've affected the people around me for the rest of their lives, it really struck a chord in me. Thank you for making this and helping people through their losses and dealings with grief, and helping people realise they need to seek help, I was never strong enough to admit it until now. Thank you so much for this song

"I'll just be here wondering what made you choose to go" this line made me cry, Ricky never seems to not make feel emotions that not many artists can❤ love the song

my grandmother died a few years ago, precisely on July 14, that you brought this song precisely this July 14, which is about loss, I immediately remembered her, the song transmitted a lot to me, thank you very much Ricky, thank you for bringing us this wonderful song

I also lost my mother to suicide as a teenager. I’m so grateful we’re in an age where people can talk openly about things like this. To know this kind of grief is a shared experience is such a comfort. Thanks for writing this ♥️

I can’t explain how beautiful this song is. I lost my Uncle last year he had cancer and didn’t wanna get help we slowly watched him die we didn’t know he was sick. And one day he just wasn’t with us anymore. This song hits so hard and I wanna thank you for this and all the talent and joy you bring into the world. I’m so sorry about you’re dad. Sending love ❤

Lost a coworker recently and this hit me pretty hard. Hit a little harder than I wanted it to. Thank you for making this. Being this vulnerable in your art is courageous and something I strive to do in my own

i want to commend you for your courage and vulnerability in writing a song about the loss of your dad. it takes immense strength to delve into such deep emotions and transform them into a heartfelt piece of art. wishing you strength, inspiration, and continued success on your artistic journey, ricky <3 can't wait to see you at bittersweet daze

This song is so emotional, you can just FEEL along with him 🖤💗

Ricky I think this might be your magnum opus. I hate to say it because I don’t think good art can only come out of trauma as some people tend to think but this song is just perfect. Its emotional and impactful and honest, but it’s also beautiful musically, the melody is so catchy, the cut out and crash in feels like a wave hitting the shore it’s so perfect. I went through a different but similar situation recently dealing with familial suicide and I’d just like to say thank you for making this. I can’t count the amount of times I’m going to listen to this and just let it wash over me. Amazing song.

This is a song for my dad. It took me almost 15 years to get it right. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it for you
