Swim for Your Lives Lyrics
Swim, swim for your lives
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lives
Things are getting restless out at sea
Can you see the lighthouse
As we push you under
Can you see the light
As we push you further from shore
Can we hear their cries
Over the storm
Will we reach out to help
I'm thinking no
I'm convinced that they're drowning out there
(I'll be standing on the dry shore)
I'm still convinced that this
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(I'll be safe from the storm)
We're all dressed up
Like something we're not
You'd better
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
God knows all the secrets
That we've that we've hidden in our hearts
God knows all the secrets
That we've hidden in the dark
Swim, swim for your lives
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
Can you see the lighthouse
As we push you under
Can you see the light
As we push you further from shore
Can we hear their cries
Over the storm
Will we reach out to help
I'm thinking no
I'm convinced that they're drowning out there
(I'll be standing on the dry shore)
I'm still convinced that this
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(I'll be safe from the storm)
We're all dressed up
Like something we're not
You'd better
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
God knows all your secrets
God knows all my secrets
God knows all the evil that we've hidden in our hearts
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lives
Things are getting restless out at sea
As we push you under
Can you see the light
As we push you further from shore
Over the storm
Will we reach out to help
I'm thinking no
(I'll be standing on the dry shore)
I'm still convinced that this
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(I'll be safe from the storm)
Like something we're not
You'd better
Things are getting restless out at sea
That we've that we've hidden in our hearts
God knows all the secrets
That we've hidden in the dark
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
As we push you under
Can you see the light
As we push you further from shore
Over the storm
Will we reach out to help
I'm thinking no
(I'll be standing on the dry shore)
I'm still convinced that this
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(I'll be safe from the storm)
Like something we're not
You'd better
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
Things are getting restless out at sea
Swim, swim for your lies
Things are getting restless out at sea
God knows all my secrets
God knows all the evil that we've hidden in our hearts

jared from blessthefalls in this one (:
thats sick hes feat. anyways, i guess he just thought of a gruesome scenerio, in this case, a bunch of people drowning from a ship sinking, and he chooses not to save them.
That's the surface picture from the lyrics but lines like "God knows all the secrets that we've hidden in our hearts" make me think it's an allegory.

Seems like he's talking about Christians knowing people are out there drowning (not knowing the truth) and yet we're standing on the dry shore not trying to help.

"We're all dressed up like something we're not" seems to be talking about fake Christians who wear it publicly but aren't true followers since they're not doing anything to help anyone else ("Will we reach out to help? I'm thinking no")....

Fits with the lyrics of "Lying Through Your Teeth Doesn't Count As Flossing" which is more obvious in its language ("What's the point in saying something we believe in something we won't show," "Don't make a mockery of her, she's not your bride" bride being how the Bible refers to the church).
I like the lighthouse references, makes me think of the album cover for whatever reason. The deep blues of the sky and water and instead of the diver's suit it's a lighthouse in my head. Haha.
