Underwater
Beneath the Waves: Unveiling Midnight Oil's Empowering Underwater Anthem
Lyrics
Scanning at the blue bended headlands
Observing the curved headlands in the blue ocean.
White flurry scudded, a dark silhouette flashes by, in the wet
Fast-moving white splashes, a dark outline swiftly passes in the water.
It is glistening flesh
Refers to a shiny, possibly aquatic, creature.
In the deep marine, in the deep marine
Describing the deep sea environment.
There is room for make believe out in the ocean
Suggesting there's space for imagination in the ocean.
There is room for make believe out on the land
Similarly, there's room for make-believe on the land.
In the wet, in the dream, if its flashing then seen
In the dreamlike, wet scenario, visible if it flashes.
In the deep marine, in the deep marine
Reiterating the deep marine setting.
Looking to the white framed headland
Looking towards a distinctive headland.
Green pockets dropping, a bright cockatoo
Depicting natural scenes with green pockets and a bright cockatoo.
Circles up in the breeze, in the realm you can't reach
A cockatoo circles in a place beyond reach.
In the deep marine, in the deep marine
Emphasizing the deep marine environment.
There is room for make believe out in the ocean
Repeating the theme of imagination in the ocean.
There is room for make believe out on the land
Reiterating the possibility of make-believe on land.
In the west, crashes by, its a green silhouette
A green silhouette seen in the west, crashing by.
In the deep marine, in the deep marine
Reaffirming the deep marine setting.
No one can make her, no one can break her down
Asserting the independence and strength of the subject.
Underwater, over land
Stating that this strength exists both underwater and on land.
No one can make her, no one can break her
Reiterating the resilience of the subject.
Underwater, over land
Reaffirming the subject's strength in different environments.
No one can make her, no one can break her
Continuing to emphasize the subject's resilience.
She is what she is and no one can bring her down, bring her down
The subject is unaffected by external influences.
Looking to the white framed headland
Recalling the view of the distinctive headland.
Green pockets dropping a bright cockatoo
Describing natural scenes with a cockatoo and green pockets.
Circles up in the breeze, in the realm you can't reach
A repetition of the image of a cockatoo in an unreachable realm.
In the deep marine, in the deep marine
Reiterating the deep marine setting.
There is room for make believe out in the ocean
Highlighting the possibility of imagination in the ocean.
There is room for make believe out on the land
Repeating the idea of make-believe on land.
In the wet, flashes by, its a green silhouette
A green silhouette seen in the wet environment.
In the deep marine, in the deep marine
Reaffirming the deep marine setting.
No one can make her, no one can break her
Restating the subject's unbreakable nature.
Underwater, overland
Asserting the subject's strength in both underwater and on land.
No one can break her, no one can fake her
No one can imitate or deceive the subject.
She it what she is and no one can bring her down, bring her down
Reiterating the subject's unassailable strength.
Underwater, overland
Repeating the idea of strength in different environments.
No one can squeeze her, no one can freeze her now
No one can pressure or restrain the subject.
No one can make her, no one can break her down
Emphasizing the subject's invincibility.
No one can seize her, no one can freeze her
No one can seize or immobilize the subject.
She is what she is and you've got to see it
Reaffirming the subject's true nature that must be acknowledged.
