Lyrics
So follow me
Invitation to follow the speaker
To the empty ocean
Heading towards an expansive, desolate ocean
We can watch the city
Observing the city disappearing behind the skyline
Descend behind the skyline
Reflection on the city's descent
On our backs
Lying down, looking upwards
We float away
Drifting away on water
Now forget about the way you used to be
Suggesting a change or transformation in oneself
Tonight I fail
Admitting failure tonight
But I never wanted to let you drown without me
Expressing unwillingness to let someone drown alone
Tonight
Emphasizing the current moment
We are the only ones to watch it fall apart
Claiming a unique role in witnessing a situation collapse
We slide into our place
Entering a designated space
Where I can watch you swim
Watching someone swim
Don't forget my hands still wrapped around your neck
Asserting control or influence over someone
We fall deeper into the ground
Descending further, possibly into difficulty
This night's never looked so hollow
Describing the night as bleak or empty
I wanted to share this with you with you
Expressing a desire to share an experience
I'll wait till it opens up again
Waiting for an opportunity to reoccur
Sit here until the water reaches our necks
Waiting for a moment of crisis or challenge
Finally get to watch them wash away the lies
Anticipating the exposure of falsehoods
Tonight I fail
Reiterating personal failure tonight
But I never wanted to let you drown without me, without me
Reiterating unwillingness to let someone drown alone
Open your lungs
Encouraging someone to breathe deeply
Follow me down
Inviting to follow into a deeper, metaphorical place
Open your lungs
Repetition of the invitation to go deeper
Follow me down
-I set this up
Claiming responsibility for the situation
Keep swimming
Encouraging to persist or continue
Keep swimming
Emphasizing the need to keep going
Oh God
Invocation or exclamation
I am emptier than you
Comparing emptiness, possibly in a self-reflective manner
