Lyrics
Under the water
Expressing a submerged or overwhelmed feeling
Still watching on
Remaining observant despite being submerged
Everything moves in slow motion
Perception of events unfolding slowly
No power to speak
Feeling powerless to communicate
But I'll hear it all
Awareness despite the inability to respond
You make all my decisions
Allowing someone else to make decisions
You got all my control
Granting control to someone else
There was a message written on a t-shirt
Reference to a message on a t-shirt
As she cried in the waiting room
Describing a moment of emotional distress
She kept telling me that it didn't hurt
Downplaying pain while facing a difficult situation
But hope god would take him soon
Hoping for a release from suffering
And it said keep calm and carry on
Recalling the message "keep calm and carry on"
Keep calm and carry on
Emphasizing the need to remain composed
It said keep calm and carry on
Reiteration of the "keep calm and carry on" message
As god would keep him soon
Linking composure to divine intervention
Ashes to ashes
Symbolic reference to mortality
Dust to dust we burn
Highlighting the inevitability of death
Our time is borrowed
Emphasizing the temporary nature of life
We all have to return
Acknowledging the universal fate of returning to dust
I was coming to help you
Expressing a willingness to offer assistance
But I know you're caught between
Describing a dilemma between giving up or pursuing dreams
Giving up or just living our sweetest dreams
Reflecting on conflicting choices
But I never saw you
Noticing vulnerability in someone
Looking as weak as this
Commenting on unexpected weakness
Not like the way you lived
Contrasting current state with past strength
Not like my memories
Referencing personal memories
Your face printed on a t-shirt
Describing a visual representation of a loved one
Got your picture in my room
Maintaining a connection through pictures
Your body may be missing but
Emphasizing the enduring connection despite physical absence
I'll be seeing you soon
Anticipating a reunion in the future
So i'll keep calm and carry on
Reiterating the "keep calm and carry on" mantra
Keep calm and carry on
Stressing the importance of maintaining composure
I'll keep calm and carry on
Continuing to embrace the message of resilience
Someday I'll see you soon
Expressing confidence in a future reunion
Ashes to ashes
Repeating the symbolic imagery of mortality
Dust to dust we burn
Reiterating the transient nature of life
Our time is borrowed
Highlighting the shared fate of mortality
We all have to return
Emphasizing the inevitability of returning to dust
To return
Repetition of the concept of returning
To return
Continuing the theme of returning
Ashes to ashes
Repeating the imagery of ashes and dust
Dust to dust we burn
Reiterating the idea of life's transient nature
Our time is borrowed
Stressing the shared destiny of returning to dust
We all have to return
Emphasizing the universal reality of mortality
