Lyrics

Loneliness is living

Loneliness is a state of existence

When you're swimming in the gloom,

Feeling isolated in the darkness

Everywhere is silent,

A pervasive silence surrounds

Nothing is ever new.

Life lacks novelty and change

An underwater comet,

Metaphor of the speaker as an awkward underwater comet

I fly so gracelessly,

Moving clumsily through life's challenges

Open my eyes for a moment,

Temporary awareness, a brief moment of clarity

Just to check I still can't see

Doubting one's perception or understanding


We are deep sea fishes

Identification as deep sea fishes

Beautiful to nobody,

Perceived beauty that goes unnoticed by others

We are navigating nowhere

Directionless existence without a clear purpose

Blindly through infinity

Navigating life without a definite destination


A single point of glowing,

A singular light in the darkness

A beacon in the dark,

Symbolic beacon representing a purpose or goal

The signal of the hunter,

Reference to a shared experience or destiny

I carry the same mark.

Identification with a common fate

The distant shape is growing,

The distant future becoming clearer

A ghostly yellow light,

A faint but hopeful illumination

O, water slowly flowing,

The passage of time leading to a desired destination

Take me to my love tonight

Expressing a yearning for love


We are deep sea fishes

Reiteration of the identity as deep sea fishes

Beautiful to nobody,

Emphasizing the perceived beauty exclusive to themselves

We are navigating nowhere

Continued aimless journey through life's vastness

Blindly through infinity

Highlighting the infinite and uncertain nature of their path


I hide myself from vision,

Seeking concealment from judgment or scrutiny

My strange and twisted form,

Embracing a unique and unconventional identity

You see your own reflection,

Mutual self-reflection and understanding in a relationship

I see myself in yours.

Mirroring oneself in the perception of a loved one

A fluttering of thermals

A gentle, uplifting force that keeps them close

Holds us warm and close,

The transient nature of seemingly permanent things

The things that seem eternal

Paradoxical aspects of existence

are the things that change the most.

The only constant is change


We are deep sea fishes

Reiteration of the identity as deep sea fishes

Beautiful to only to we,

Recognizing their beauty in their own eyes

We are navigating nowhere

Continued aimless journey with a sense of unity

Together through infinity

Navigating the uncertainties of life together
