Lyrics
I was swallowed in a black tide
I experienced being engulfed by a dark and overwhelming force.
Living in a one way line
Living in a situation with no turning back.
Hadn’t even tried
I didn't make an effort or attempt to change my circumstances.
you were right in the quiet of the storm
You were correct in the calm center of the chaos.
(I couldn’t wait)
(I couldn't wait) - There was impatience or urgency in this situation.
in the violence that defines us
In the midst of the violence that characterizes us.
i was caught in a black tide
I was ensnared in a dark and overwhelming force.
taken on a one way ride
Taken on a one-way journey without an option to turn back.
Yours were the hands that guide, Me to realign
Your guidance led me to realign my path.
Swallowed by a landslide
Consumed by a massive downfall with no place to escape.
there’s nowhere to hide
There is no refuge or hiding place.
i hadn’t even tried
I didn't even make an attempt to change my situation.
Caught in a landslide
Caught in a situation where forces beyond control are at play.
A Daydream paradise
A state of imagination or idealism.
When these worlds collide
When these contrasting worlds come together.
we are purified
We undergo a process of purification.
Taken by a riptide, a wave of cyanide
Taken by a powerful current, a metaphorical wave of destruction.
you were right in the quiet of the storm
You were correct in the calm center of the storm (repeated).
(I couldn’t wait)
(I couldn't wait) - There was impatience or urgency in this situation (repeated).
in the violence that defines us
In the midst of the violence that characterizes us (repeated).
we’re reborn
We are reborn in the midst of the violence.
in the violence we’re reborn
In the violence, we experience a rebirth.
(in the quiet)
(In the quiet) - Emphasizing a contrast, transformation, or renewal happening in a calm phase.
