Underwater Life
Journey to the Abyss: Unveiling the Depths of 'Underwater Life'
Lyrics
I sail alone
I prefer solitude and navigate without companionship.
In a homemade boat
I use a boat I created myself.
Repairs and jokes and stares
Experiencing repairs, humor, and curious gazes wherever I go.
Everywhere I go
Encountering attention and observation in various places.
And then one night
One particular night...
Out about ten miles
Finding myself approximately ten miles from shore.
The sea glowed far below
The ocean illuminated far beneath me.
On the starboard side
Specifically on the right side of the boat.
There underneath the waves
Discovering, beneath the water's surface...
A drowned city was never saved
A submerged city beyond salvation.
In a deep sea paradise
In a profound underwater haven.
They know better than to rise
These submerged beings wisely refrain from resurfacing.
And if I had my way
If I could choose...
I'd trade my own today
I would exchange my current existence.
For the underwater life
For a life beneath the waves.
The sailors laugh
Other sailors mock my unnamed vessel.
At my unnamed craft
They disregard it and focus on earning money...
Ignore it and collect my coins
By transporting discarded items.
For hauling trash
Engaging in this work without concern for my boat's status.
And every night
Every evening...
Where the sea goes deep
Where the sea becomes profoundly deep.
I drop sail and watch until
I lower the sail and observe...
I drift off to sleep
Until I eventually fall asleep.
There underneath the waves
Once again beneath the waves...
A drowned city was never saved
A submerged city remains unredeemed.
In a deep sea paradise
In a profound underwater haven.
They know better than to rise
These submerged beings wisely refrain from resurfacing.
And if I had my choice
If I had the option...
I'd trade my own of course
I would willingly exchange my current life.
For the underwater life
For a submerged existence.
