Every night you dream of the sea
and know very well you have
to swim all the way to the surface
and breathe to avoid going under.
Tonight you need more,
and you suddenly feel the urge
to let yourself fall
and see the ocean from below.
Go on, let yourself be carried into the darkness below
Go on, let yourself be carried ever deeper, you're all alone.
You swim endlessly through the sea,
no matter where you go or whence you came.
Freedom has a tall price
yet it's so tantalizing.
Hold your breath
Dive deeper, until the world
becomes silent around you
Swim some more,
even if you're short on air.
Underwater you're all alone.
Dive deeper,
ever deeper down to the bottom.
Dive deeper
Swim some more
until pain and pressure crush you.
Finally you draw breath
and struggle for your life.
You no longer know who you are.
You've surrendered yourself.
Your heart beats like a drum.
Your urge is ever more powerful.
Life is so cruel.
Soaked and cold, you give up.
Hold your breath
Dive deeper, until the world
becomes silent around you
Swim some more,
even if you're short on air.
Underwater you're all alone.
Dive deeper,
ever deeper down to the bottom.
Dive deeper
Swim some more
until pressure crushes your pain.
You're falling
You're floating
The pressure
is increasing
Hold your breath
Dive deeper, until the world
becomes silent around you
Swim some more,
even if you're short on air.
Underwater you're all alone.
Dive deeper,
ever deeper down to the bottom.
Dive deeper
Swim some more
until pressure crushes your pain.
