Lyrics
She said she couldn't do it if she tried
She claimed she couldn't accomplish it even if she attempted.
But she never tried, she will never try
However, she never made an attempt and won't ever try.
It's running through her veins like cyanide
It's coursing through her system like a deadly poison.
It gets her by, but just for a while
Provides a temporary relief, but not for long.
How long, can she keep on chasing something wrong
How much time can she persist in pursuing something erroneous?
Memories, of how she could've made it
Recollections of how she might have succeeded.
The waves are crashing down she's caught in the undertow
She's trapped in overwhelming forces of difficulty.
Drowning in the sea
Struggling immensely.
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Seeking guidance or a solution, but none is apparent.
Undertow
A recurring situation of being dragged down.
She sees the world through hazy blood-shot eyes
Viewing the world with impaired, drug-influenced vision.
Just looking for another high
Pursuing another euphoric experience.
She lives by golden rules that don't apply
Living by principles that don't work for her.
Life passed her by, and I tell you why
Life has passed her by due to...
How long, can she keep on chasing something wrong
Questioning the endurance of chasing a wrong path.
Memories, of how she could've made it
Reflecting on missed opportunities.
The waves are crashing down she's caught in the undertow
Immersed in overpowering difficulties.
Drowning in the sea
Sinking in a sea of troubles.
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Seeking an escape or resolution, finding none.
Undertow
Reiterating the recurring cycle of being dragged down.
How long, can she keep on chasing something wrong
Repeating the query about persisting in a mistaken pursuit.
Memories, of how she could've made it
Remembering lost opportunities to succeed.
The waves are crashing down she's caught in the undertow
Trapped amidst overwhelming challenges.
Drowning in the sea
Struggling intensely.
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Searching for a solution or guidance without finding any.
The waves are crashing down she's caught in the undertow
Emphasizing being ensnared in powerful difficulties.
Drowning in the sea
Sinking in the overwhelming challenges.
She's looking for a light but there's nowhere to go
Continuing to seek a way out without success.
Undertow
Reiterating the cyclic nature of being dragged down.
