Under Water
Submerged Emotions: Finding Refuge and Transformation in 'Under Water'
Lyrics
I fall under water
I submerge or immerse myself in water.
I've fallen under water
I have already submerged or immersed myself in water.
And it feels safer under water
Being under water gives me a sense of safety.
Feels like home
This submerged state feels comforting and familiar, like home.
And I try under water
I make an effort or attempt while under water.
Yes I see, yes I see I'm softer under water
I realize that I am more gentle or tender when submerged.
