Wet Sounds
Screaming Underwater: Craving an Immersive Love
Lyrics
Before the flood comes the calm
Anticipating a calm period before a challenging or tumultuous event (the flood).
Like a child I run to your arms
Seeking comfort and refuge in someone's arms, reminiscent of a child seeking protection.
The air is filled with smoke
Atmosphere filled with tension or uncertainty, possibly symbolic of a troubled situation.
But there's no fire
No visible external threat (fire) despite the unsettling atmosphere.
You make me beg
Expressing a sense of vulnerability and longing in the relationship.
You make me beg for your desire
Desiring and pleading for the partner's affection and passion.
Just as the moon arouses the sea
Comparing the partner's effect to the moon's influence on the sea, emphasizing irresistible attraction.
I can't keep still when I feel you near me
Feeling restless and unable to remain calm when the partner is close.
But your tide never comes to my shore
Despite the strong attraction, the partner's commitment or emotional reciprocation is lacking.
You always leave me wanting more
Expressing perpetual dissatisfaction and a continual desire for more in the relationship.
And more and more
Reiterating the insatiable longing for more.
I want to drown in your love
Expressing a deep desire to be immersed in the intensity of love.
But I'm just screaming underwater
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to fully experience the desired love, akin to screaming underwater.
Before the war comes the bomb
Anticipating conflict or chaos represented by the war and the bomb.
I was so young before
Reflecting on a time of innocence and youth before the impact of a significant event.
You melted my cold heart
The partner's influence has thawed the singer's previously cold heart.
How many times have tears
Highlighting the emotional impact of past experiences through tears.
Poured from my eyes
Repeating cycles of emotional pain and pretending it will be the last time.
Pretending this will be the last time
Acknowledging the futile hope that the current pain will be the final occurrence.
I want to drown in your love
Reiterating the desire to be engulfed in intense love.
But I'm just screaming underwater
Continuing to feel overwhelmed and unable to fully embrace the desired love.
Take me down
Expressing a willingness to be taken to a place free from external influences.
Where the wind doesn't blow
Desiring a tranquil place without disturbances like wind.
And the waves wash away
Seeking a place where the waves cleanse away undesirable knowledge or experiences.
All that we shouldn't know
Desiring to escape from undesirable realities through the cleansing power of waves.
Let's go down
Suggesting a joint descent to a place of emotional refuge.
Where the fig leaves lie
Choosing a symbolic location where vulnerability is hidden (fig leaves lie).
And forget all our pain
Expressing a desire to forget pain by immersing in a shared experience.
Before we have to die
Emphasizing the urgency of finding solace before confronting mortality.
Make me forget
Pleading to be liberated from painful memories or experiences.
WE HAVE TO DIE
Reiterating the imminent confrontation with mortality.
I WANT TO DROWN IN YOUR LOVE
Expressing the deep desire to be immersed in intense love, potentially as a final solace.
