fish out of water

A numbers man more than a people person, he’s a fish out of water in Atlanta, as he spells out in the song “How Can I Call This Home?”

Recently Crowder spoke with The Times about his Southern background, including his upbringing in a liberal family in a conservative area and his current life as a fish out of water living in Los Angeles.

"I wasn't beaten up like my character in Boarders is, but the feeling of not fully belonging was always there - I felt a bit like a fish out of water and isolated at times," he tells the BBC.

All that’s left of this eccentric transaction is the part where he’s the exotic fish out of water in one of Europe’s more remote, whiter corners.

That fish out of water story is just classic.
