Underwater
Beneath the Surface: A Journey Through Struggles and Redemption
Lyrics
I drove a thousand miles to get right where I am
I traveled a significant distance to reach my current position.
To find a thousand miles could not even compare
Realizing that the journey was incomparable to the challenges faced.
To all the storms and fires that I'd have to withstand
Acknowledging the difficulties and trials, especially storms and fires.
And all the nights that I would not know who I am
Reflecting on nights of confusion and self-discovery.
I put my head underwater
Metaphorically putting oneself in a challenging situation.
So I could miss the oxygen
Choosing to avoid the comfort of the familiar (oxygen).
I know that it was worth the bother
Believing the difficulty was worthwhile.
When I feel my lungs fill up again
Experiencing rejuvenation and a fresh start.
I went to hell and back to find out it's not real
Going through tough times to realize they are not real.
Just a blessing in disguise that teaches you to heal
Viewing challenges as blessings that facilitate healing.
Reminds you to appreciate the things we forget to feel
Encouraging appreciation for overlooked emotions.
We are our own devils and we make our own deals
Acknowledging personal responsibility for inner struggles.
I put my head underwater
Repeating the metaphorical act of submerging oneself.
So I could miss the oxygen
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice comfort.
I know that it was worth the bother
Confirming the belief in the value of the struggle.
When I feel my lungs fill up again
Experiencing the rewarding feeling of renewal.
I put my head underwater
Continuing to face challenges willingly.
So I could miss the oxygen
Re-emphasizing the choice to confront difficulties.
(I went to hell and back to find out it's not real)
(Reiteration) Understanding that hellish experiences are not real.
I know that it was worth the bother
(Reiteration) Seeing challenges as disguised blessings for healing.
(Just a blessing in disguise that teaches you to heal)
(Reiteration) Reminding oneself to appreciate neglected emotions.
When I feel my lungs fill up again
Experiencing a renewed sense of self.
(Reminds you to appreciate the things we forget to feel)
(Reiteration) Acknowledging personal responsibility for struggles.
I put my head underwater
Repeating the metaphor of submerging oneself for emphasis.
(We are our own devils and we make our own deals)
(Reiteration) Acknowledging personal responsibility for inner conflicts.
So I could miss the oxygen
(Reiteration) Choosing to endure discomfort for personal growth.
(I drove a thousand miles to get right where I am)
(Reiteration) Reflecting on the significant journey undertaken.
I know that it was worth the bother
Reaffirming the belief in the worthiness of the journey.
(To find a thousand miles could not even compare)
(Reiteration) Recognizing the incomparability of the journey.
When I feel my lungs fill up again
Reiterating the rewarding feeling of renewal.
(To all the storms and fires that I'd have to withstand)
(Reiteration) Acknowledging the challenges faced, especially storms and fires.
And all the nights that I would not know who I am
Reflecting on nights of confusion and self-discovery.
I put my head underwater
(Reiteration) Metaphorically facing challenges head-on.
So I could miss the oxygen
(Reiteration) Choosing to sacrifice comfort for personal growth.
I know that it was worth the bother
Reiterating the belief in the value of the struggle.
When I feel my lungs fill up again
Experiencing the rewarding feeling of renewal.
