Mariana Trench
Submerged Desperation: Wavy McGrady's Dive into Isolation
Lyrics
We just hit 200 feet under
We have descended to a depth of 200 feet below the surface.
I'm checking my gauge
I am checking the gauge, possibly referring to a diving or submarine instrument.
We've got more we're supposed to go
We have more depth to cover, but I am not feeling well or comfortable.
But I don't feel ok
I am experiencing discomfort or unease despite our descent.
I've radioed up
I have tried to communicate via radio.
But I got no luck
Unsuccessful attempts at communication; there is no response.
They've forgotten us I'm sure of it
I believe we have been forgotten, and I am certain of it.
And I can't tell my way around
I am disoriented and unable to navigate properly.
I don't want to hit the ground cuz
I am anxious about hitting the ground, possibly a metaphorical reference to a critical situation.
We're locked in a time warp
We are stuck in a situation where time seems distorted, with no clear distinction between past and future.
There's no before or after
Emphasis on the lack of chronological order or reference points.
And my tank is running out
The speaker's oxygen supply is depleting.
But I can't go up much faster
Despite the urgency, ascending quickly is not possible.
We just hit 300 feet under
We have descended further to 300 feet.
The light beams dim
The light is diminishing, creating a darker environment.
And I don't know what I'd rather see
Uncertainty about whether seeing nothing or something would be preferable.
Nothing or something
The surroundings are described as cold and lonely.
It's all so cold and lonely
The speaker is emotionally detached or desensitized at this depth.
At this point I'm numb
Feeling numb, possibly due to the extreme conditions.
I'm hearing just dead air
Only hearing silence or lack of communication.
They've cut communication
Communication has been intentionally severed.
Please take me home
An earnest plea to be taken back home.
I just want to go home
An expression of the strong desire to return home.
We're locked in a time warp
Reiteration of being trapped in a distorted temporal experience.
There's no before or after
Continued emphasis on the absence of a clear temporal sequence.
And my tank is running out
Repetition of the dwindling oxygen supply and the inability to ascend rapidly.
But I can't go up much faster
Despite the urgency, quick ascent is not feasible.
Oh, we're locked in a time warp
Confirmation of being stuck in a distorted temporal reality.
It's dark I'm seeing double
Reference to the darkness, experiencing visual distortion.
And my tank is running out
Repetition of the depleting oxygen supply and the urgency to ascend.
But I can't ascend before my bubbles
Unable to ascend before the bubbles, possibly indicating a critical moment.
