Lyrics
Water rises, water falls
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life, with highs and lows symbolized by water rising and falling.
Your spell of silence, has said it all
The power of silence as a form of communication, implying that important messages are conveyed without words.
And I'm sorry that I asked so much of you
An apology for making excessive demands or expectations and expressing a desire for guidance.
If only you'd tell me what else to do
Seeking explicit instructions or advice to navigate challenges.
Reading minds ain't as easy as it used to be
Acknowledging the difficulty of understanding others' thoughts, suggesting a loss of intuitive connection.
Your fortress walls a keep without a key
Describing emotional barriers, comparing them to an impenetrable fortress without an accessible entrance.
And the city crumbles down to dust and bone
Portraying a crumbling city as a metaphor for a deteriorating relationship or situation.
No quarter now, your cannonballs hit home
Using warfare imagery to depict the impact of conflicts, indicating a sense of personal injury.
And I'm drowning, deep in lake superior
Expressing a feeling of overwhelming despair and struggle, symbolized by drowning in Lake Superior.
Breath escapes me, fading light gets blearier
Describing a fading consciousness and diminishing hope as the struggle intensifies.
Falling out of view, the surface much like you
Comparing the sinking feeling to disappearing from view, drawing a parallel with a relationship losing clarity.
It watches as I drown in Lake Superior
Depicting Lake Superior as a witness to personal struggles and perhaps representing a metaphorical depth of emotions.
Come in, sit down, how have you been
Inviting someone into a conversation, expressing a desire for connection or reconciliation.
Can we carry on as simple friends
Pondering the possibility of maintaining a simple friendship despite challenges.
We both feel that we’ve got something wrong
Acknowledging mutual awareness of issues in the relationship without pinpointing the exact cause.
But was it leaving then, or dragging it on too long
Questioning whether the problems arose from the decision to part ways or from prolonging an unsustainable situation.
Now I’m drowning, deep in Lake Superior
Reiterating the sense of drowning in despair and emotional turmoil in Lake Superior.
Breath escapes me, fading light gets blearier
Repeating the imagery of fading light and increasing obscurity as the struggle continues.
Falling out of view, the surface just like you
Recalling the theme of vanishing from view, linking it to the elusive nature of the relationship.
It watches as I drown
Emphasizing the passive observation of the drowning, suggesting a lack of intervention or help.
