Lyrics
Coral reefs have their ways of just sinking ships
Coral reefs pose a threat to ships by causing them to sink.
and all the fish with sharp teeth wait for it.
Predatory fish with sharp teeth await the sinking of ships.
Lifeless bodies live among debris
Lifeless bodies coexist with debris in the aftermath of shipwrecks.
for all the ugly gulls to see.
Ugly seagulls witness the aftermath of destruction.
We'd still be alive
If devils could fly, the speaker suggests they might still be alive.
if devils knew how to fly
Expressing regret or lamenting the lack of intervention from supernatural forces.
All weightless and we'd float
In a hypothetical scenario, weightlessness and floating are contrasted with the harsh reality of the ocean.
but on the ocean they'll choke
The danger of choking on the ocean is emphasized.
They'll just swallow us up into tiny bits.
The ocean is portrayed as a threat that can engulf and break things into tiny pieces.
I swear it looks worse than it really is.
The visual impression is worse than the actual situation, indicating a sense of resilience.
Strange worlds I thought would never show their face.
Unexpected challenges or unfamiliar aspects of life are emerging.
But now I think we should never leave this place.
Suggesting a shift in perspective, the speaker now sees value in staying in this challenging place.
We'd still be alive
Reiteration of the idea that if devils could fly, survival might be possible.
if devils knew how to fly
Reiterating the wish for supernatural intervention or assistance.
All weightless and we'd float
A contrast between weightlessness and floating versus the suffocating nature of the ocean.
but on the ocean they'll choke
Highlighting the perilous nature of the ocean environment.
Sure, we know how to swim
Acknowledging the ability to swim, but suggesting that surrendering might be a better option.
but sometimes it's best to give in.
Recognizing the wisdom in yielding to the challenging circumstances.
We'll hold our breath for now, forever
The speaker expresses a willingness to endure difficulties indefinitely, hoping for a positive outcome.
and hope for the best.
A commitment to endure challenges while maintaining optimism for the future.
