Underwater
Drowning in Love's Deceptive Depths
Lyrics
UNDERWATER
Introduction: Setting the theme as "Underwater."
Now, when I hear your name
The mention of the emotional impact of hearing the person's name.
It will pull me down, underwater
Feeling overwhelmed and submerged emotionally.
A beautiful Siren with a deadly song
Describing the person metaphorically as a captivating but dangerous force.
How could I know I'd be so strung along
Expressing surprise at being deeply involved and emotionally attached.
Luring me into your waters, they're very deep
Being enticed into the person's emotional depths.
Whispers of now I lay you down to sleep
Reference to a ritualistic phrase, suggesting a perilous situation.
The hull beneath my feet, feel it straining for the dock
Metaphor for the instability of emotions, feeling strained.
Guided by this lighthouse illusion into the jagged rocks
Guided by false hope or illusion towards a harmful situation.
My head is numb
Feeling emotionally detached or overwhelmed.
I'm underwater
Reiteration of being submerged emotionally.
Seems like I can't hear your voice anymore
Lamenting the inability to hear the person's voice.
Reaching you was all I wanted
Expressing the desire to connect with the person.
Reaching out to find my way to the shore
Seeking direction and purpose in the relationship.
But now, when I hear your name
Repetition of the emotional impact of hearing the person's name.
It will pull me down, underwater
Reiterating the feeling of being pulled down emotionally.
The ringing in my ears is deafening
Describing the intensity of emotional turmoil with a metaphor.
I'm a hollow shell, that's all that's left of me
Feeling emotionally drained and hollow.
My words rise in prayers to the surface, then they break
Expressing prayers or wishes that remain unfulfilled.
Oh but they're not for you, they're for heaven's sake
Clarifying that the wishes are not for the person but for a higher purpose.
The hull beneath my feet, feel it straining for the dock
Repetition of the metaphor for emotional instability.
Guided by this lighthouse illusion into the jagged rocks
Continuing the theme of being misled by false hope.
My head is numb
Reiteration of emotional numbness.
I'm underwater
Reiteration of being submerged emotionally.
Seems like I can't hear your voice anymore
Reiterating the inability to hear the person's voice.
Reaching you was all I wanted
Reiterating the desire to connect with the person.
Reaching out to find my way to the shore
Reiterating the search for direction and purpose.
But now, when I hear your name
Repetition of the emotional impact of hearing the person's name.
It will pull me down, tied with stones and left to drown
Intensifying the emotional pull, suggesting a sense of suffocation.
As I hold my breath, and I lose my ground underwater
Describing a struggle to breathe and losing emotional stability.
The hull beneath my feet, hear it straining for the dock
Repetition of the metaphor for emotional instability.
Guided by this lighthouse illusion into the jagged rocks
Continuing the theme of being misled by false hope.
My head is numb
Reiteration of emotional numbness.
I'm underwater
Reiteration of being submerged emotionally.
Seems like I can't hear your voice anymore
Reiterating the inability to hear the person's voice.
Reaching you was all I wanted
Reiterating the desire to connect with the person.
Reaching out to find my way to the shore
Reiterating the search for direction and purpose.
But now, when I hear your name
Repetition of the emotional impact of hearing the person's name.
It will pull me down, underwater
Reiterating the feeling of being pulled down emotionally.
