Lyrics

Tears Under Water

(14/02/2025)

runaway you can say that you just need a hideway dead eyes watching there's no way out of this code

there's no truth share the news you can buy, you must buy another life paid with crypto lies you won't taste the ashes in your mouth

we're going down
to shed tears under water
silence for the madness call
new colours for the night and the blinded

we're going down
to shed tears under water
balance to the unsteady
a shelter for the lost and forsaken memories

sell your time sell your mind to a corporate masquerade and virtualities valuation desperation net worth

terrified, verified supervised just to know the enemy the enemy is you will you taste the ashes in your mouth

we're going down
to shed tears under water
silence for the madness call
new colours for the night and the blinded

we're going down
to shed tears under water
balance to the unsteady
a shelter for the lost and forsaken memories

Wow...powerful lyrics and great arrangement. Love your vocal delivery. "we're going down to shed tears under water" fantastic imagery here. The chorus both musically and lyrically is super! I will remember this song! Great listening to you.

Thank you @lbrewington and @coolparadiso for your nice feedback! It's great to know that people feel something when they listen to my music.

The synth during the chorus is choice, really sets it off. Love the idea of shedding tears under water, very nice there, great hook. Like the whole theme, very modern, and hits to some truth. I especially like the line "just know the enemy / the enemy is you", probably my favorite line.
