The Bends
Submerged Desires: Unveiling the Depths of Space Club's 'The Bends'
Lyrics
Well I forgot your name
Forgetting the person's name
Your face is a blur
Struggling to remember the person's face clearly
And I
Pause or hesitation in communication
Can't hear a thing you say
Difficulty in understanding or paying attention to the person
We're underwater
Metaphorical reference to feeling submerged or overwhelmed
And I know
Awareness of the other person's situation
You're treading on an oil spill
Recognizing the person's struggle or turmoil
Right down to your core
Understanding the depth of the person's troubles
And you're gasping but
Struggling to breathe or articulate due to desperation
The desperations coating your throat
Feeling overwhelmed or consumed by desperation
Well we're a sight for sorry eyes
Both individuals in a sorry state or situation
I can't recall the final time that we had
Memory loss regarding the last meaningful interaction
Said goodbye, I don't know
Uncertainty about the farewell or parting moment
I wipe the water from your eyes
Providing comfort or support
And play it cool
Remaining composed or calm despite difficulties
All for the girl
Actions undertaken for a specific person
The girl who flew a little too high
Reference to someone who faced consequences due to ambition or risk-taking
High tide, ocean
Metaphorically relating to overwhelming situations
Our eyes, open
Being aware or attentive in a challenging situation
Pull me away, in too deep
Feeling deeply involved or immersed
Pull me away, we're losing
Sensing loss or defeat
Miles and miles, under sea
Signifying a vast distance metaphorically
It could be you and me
Hoping for a shared experience or connection
Pull me away, in too deep
Feeling overwhelmed or deeply involved
Pull me away, we're losing
Sensing a loss or failure
Miles and miles, under sea
Reiteration of distance and depth metaphorically
It could be you and me
Hope or possibility for a shared experience or connection
It could be you and me
Reiterating the possibility of a shared experience or connection
