The Diver Lyrics

It's getting darker and I'm still swimming
It hits me again
I'm getting deeper and I'm still swimming
It hits me again

And I am never frightened
No I am never afraid
And you will never understand
the lengths I go to light your way

See, left behind on my own
I have the ghosts of autumn murders walk me home
See the girl on the shore
It's my ideal, nothing more

It's getting darker and I'm still swimming
It hits me again
The sun is sinking pale blue saltwater breathing
It hits me again

And I am never frightened
No I am never afraid
And you will never understand
the depths I sink to light your way

See, left behind on my own
I have the ghosts of autumn murders walk me home
See the girl on the shore
It's my ideal,
my ideal,
my ideal,
my ideal,
my ideal,
my ideal,
my ideal,
my ideal

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

what? this isn't the diver. in any case the real lyrics are lovely and the song itself is beautiful and simple. it almost sounds like a lullaby, in a way.
