Shallow Water
Breaking Chains: AlunaGeorge's Dive into Shallow Waters
Lyrics
I wanna be down with you
I desire to be close to you
Don't wanna be down in the dumpsters worry 'bout nothing
I don't want to be in a state of despair, worrying about anything
Cheer up baby, might never happen
Stay positive, as the negative event might never occur
And I wanna snap out of it
I want to break free from the current state of mind
Don't wanna be out of my mind
I don't want to lose my sanity
On the low full of dime
Secretly living a lavish lifestyle
Loosen up babe now, let's take a break
Relax, let's take a pause
Shallow waters, not deep enough to drown
The situation is not too intense, not enough to drown
But just enough to get lost until I'm found
Just sufficient to be lost until I find myself
Shallow waters, not deep enough for danger
Shallow waters, not deep enough for real danger
But just enough to want trouble with a stranger
But enough to seek trouble with a stranger
You're selling me rich guy problems
You're presenting problems of the wealthy while living a modest life
With a poor mans life inside
Despite appearances, I work hard for little reward
So I work to the bone for nothing
I work tirelessly, but it seems futile
But I see this from the outside
I observe this situation from an external perspective
Even though I look so perfect
Even though I may seem flawless
I don't like these rules that apply
I dislike the societal norms that are imposed on me
Or these brand new chains ain't worth it
New material possessions are not worth the constraints they bring
So I'm gonna break free from my life
I intend to break free from my current life
Shallow waters, not deep enough to drown
The situation is not too intense, not enough to drown
But just enough to get lost until I'm found
Just sufficient to be lost until I find myself
Shallow waters, not deep enough for danger
Shallow waters, not deep enough for real danger
But just enough to want trouble with a stranger
But enough to seek trouble with a stranger
Not deep enough to drown
Not deep enough to be overwhelming or suffocating
Not deep enough for danger
Not deep enough to pose a significant threat or risk
