Lyrics
I sink myself saving the living, they are carelessly drowning at sea
I immerse myself in rescuing those alive, who are recklessly drowning at sea.
All of them seem to learn how to swim only after they've drowned me
All of them seem to learn how to swim only after they've caused me to drown.
They don't care much about the small little body that's drifting down under their feet
They don't show much concern for the small lifeless body floating beneath them.
So maybe I'll watch the waves crash and devour, I won't give a damn what I see
Considering this, maybe I'll observe the waves crash and consume, indifferent to what I witness.
Cause I am no longer my father's daughter they say was full of empathy
I am no longer the empathetic daughter they claim my father had.
She died in the water, clinging onto pieces of a life where she could be carefree
The referenced empathetic daughter met her demise in the water, holding onto fragments of a carefree life.
Instead I am building myself a new person up from the debris
Contrarily, I am reconstructing myself from the wreckage.
I'll grow from the ruins of the girl who I used to be
I will grow from the ruins of the girl I once was.
So please let the body sink down, leave me with nothing but a soul
Request to let the physical body submerge, leaving only the soul.
I cannot grow from my past if my past is still in control
Growth is hindered if the past still controls; freedom requires detachment.
Please let my memory drown, let the waves swallow it whole
Seeking the drowning of memories, allowing the waves to consume them entirely.
I can still mourn my old life while letting the future unfold
Mourning the old life while embracing the unfolding future.
And after the body is drowned maybe I will feel new
Anticipating a sense of renewal after the physical body is submerged.
Like I am walking through fields still covered in morning dew
Envisioning a new self akin to walking through morning-dew-covered fields.
But mourning dew dried up after all she went through
However, the morning dew of mourning dried up after enduring hardships.
Oh, just let me know how to kill her without killing all hope too
Expressing a desire to understand how to let go of the past self without extinguishing hope.
So please let the body sink down, leave me with nothing but a soul
Reiteration of the plea to let the physical body sink, leaving only the soul.
I cannot grow from my past if my past is still in control
Emphasizing the hindrance to personal growth if the past remains in control.
Please let my memory drown, let the waves swallow it whole
Repeating the request for memories to drown, allowing the waves to engulf them entirely.
I can still mourn my old life while letting the future unfold
Reaffirming the ability to mourn the old life while embracing the unfolding future.
So please let the body sink down, leave me with nothing but a soul
Restating the plea to let the body sink, leaving only the soul.
I cannot grow from my past if my past is still in control
Reiterating the challenge of growth if the past continues to exert control.
Please let my memory drown, let the waves swallow it whole
Echoing the plea for memories to drown, allowing the waves to consume them entirely.
I can still mourn my old life while letting the future unfold
Reiterating the capacity to mourn the old life while embracing the unfolding future.
