Lyrics
A witch has come from under the ocean
A mysterious and powerful force, symbolized as a witch, emerges from the ocean.
And with a pointed and sharp finger
The witch uses a pointed and sharp finger to take the speaker's baby from the jaw.
Snatched my baby by the crook of her jaw
The baby's breath is forcefully taken away by the witch.
And hooked her breath away
The witch mutilates and cuts the baby's soft and dear skin and face.
And bloated and cut her soft,
The baby's hair undergoes a transformation from black to green during the ordeal.
Dearest skin and face
A reminiscence about the baby complaining about excessive water use while washing her hair.
Her hair has gone from black to green
The visual change in the baby's hair color due to the traumatic experience.
She used to complain when I used
The speaker reflects on the past when the baby used to complain about hairwashing habits.
Too much water to wash her hair
A sense of empathy as the speaker tries to imagine the baby's experience.
I can't imagine what it was like for her
The speaker contemplates the difficulty the baby faced in dying by swallowing the sea.
To have died swallowing the sea
The desire to pause and bid farewell to the baby's lonely grave, but it is inaccessible and covered in mud.
I want to pause and offer
A gesture of wanting to pay respects to the deceased baby.
Your lonely grave farewell but it is covered in mud
The realization that the baby's grave is unreachable and obscured.
It is nowhere there is no way
A sense of hopelessness and nowhere to go, emphasizing the absence of the grave.
To light an altar for you
No possibility of creating a memorial for the baby due to unfavorable conditions.
Everything is too wet
The environment is too wet, hindering any attempts to create a tribute.
Tight around my neck
A feeling of suffocation or pressure around the speaker's neck.
Tie me with this rotten wire
A plea or desire to be tied with a decaying wire, symbolizing a connection to decay or death.
That snaps its quiet snap
The wire snaps quietly, suggesting the fragility of the speaker's connection to life.
I've poured my life into this world and here I am
An acknowledgment of investing one's life in the world, culminating in the current desolate state.
