Pete Droge – Under the Waves Lyrics 10 years ago
Beautiful song explaining why some people decide to live their lives in a very passive way. After some kind of traumatic situation he decides to elope. Drowning can symbolize both literal suicide or a state in which he no longer cares about anything in his life. At the bottom there is no fear of tommorow, since its the current (life) which makes all decisions for him. Being under the waves gives him freedom from troubles and sadness people have to face everyday, because just as the rain, the reality of life cannot reach him in his shelter. Besides, it's alright even if he brought some of those bad emotions with him, since in the water his grief is meaningless and mingled with everything around.
