Looking up from underneath Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me As before I went under This part I see a girl underwater staring blankly at sky. To us looking at the water would see the fractured moonlight, but seeing as she's under everything (i.e. reflections) look the same. the "as before..." part before see went under she was probably looking in, so the reflections look like before she went under because she's on the other side. And it's peaceful in the deep Cathedral where you cannot breathe No need to pray no need to speak Under water it's peaceful and quiet like a Cathedral but you can't breath surround by nothing but water. no need to pray/speak because she gave up the idea of God either as being real, her savior, or she just didn't care. And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head Never let me go Never let me go Breaking as in waves overhead and it took a thousand miles but she finally found peace which she couldn't do because the world was cruel and loud and she just couldn't find peace And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean delivered me The "arms of the ocean" that just trying to show the fact that she is indeed getting pulled/carried out further into the sea. The devotion would be the reasons she wanted to live (i.e. husband, family, parents, church?.) the last 2 lines deal with the church's point of things like committing suicide is wrong and she thinks she'll be on the outside, or rusty parts of heaven, but then she doesn't care because the ocean gave her the peace she was looking for, but could never find no matter how hard she tried. Though the pressure's hard to take It's the only way I can escape It seems a heavy choice to make And now I am under all She's pretty far down and she knows th pressure of the water on her body is to take, or hard to endure, but it's the only way she can escape not her life, but other unknown circumstances. And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head Never let me go Never let me go did the 1st part but the never let me go part could be the sea not letting her go, or her family never forgetting her the way she was, And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean delivered me (Done previously ^) And it's over And I'm going under But I'm not giving up I'm just giving in This part like a last breath type of thinking, Her life's over she can't return, probably doesn't want to either. She saying she not giving up on life just giving to ocean' s will or she wants her family know she's not giving up but finally giving in to the pain she's lived with for who knows how long. I'm slipping underneath So cold and so sweet slipping underneath kind of like going unconscious the water's cold but it's sweet, as in peaceful. And the arms of the ocean So sweet and so cold And all this devotion I never knew at all In the crushes of heaven for a sinner released But the arms of the ocean delivered me The arms meaning it's surrounding her is like an oxymoron it's sweet giving her peace, but cold by taking away her life and it's literally cold. Never let me go Never let me go Deliver me Never let me go Never let me go Deliver me Never let me go Never let me go Deliver me Never let me go Never let me go She's must likely talking to her family, never let her go in memory, or the ocean that's holding her and delivered her made her find peace, And it's over And I'm going under But I'm not giving up I'm just giving in It's over as in no turning back now and again not giving up but giving in to the ocean trying to explain for her family's sake. I'm slipping underneath So cold and so sweet She's going unconscious and it's cold because she thinks she has/wants to die or whatever drew her to the option, but she finally found peace her last dying thoughts. |
