Atlantic Lyrics
Call me when they bury bodies underwater
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple, built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
Marry in the morning, and your bitter father
It's easier to try not to eat
So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches
Anything to get me to sleep
I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets
Just orbiting the vacuum I am
They talk me through the damage, consequence
And how it's a pain they know they don't understand
Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside
I'm trying not to crush into sand
So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing
Wash away the blood on my hands
Call me when they bury bodies underwater
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't you wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple, built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
It's easier to try not to eat
So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches
Anything to get me to sleep
Just orbiting the vacuum I am
They talk me through the damage, consequence
And how it's a pain they know they don't understand
Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside
I'm trying not to crush into sand
Wash away the blood on my hands
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't you wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up

I struggle with this song so much. Every time I think I feel a lyric, I read it in context and realise I really don't. The only part I think I've got and I'd love to be told I'm wrong about - Waking up surrounded, (his) eyes like frozen planets [presumably large pupils] "orbiting the vacuum i am" is feeling like a black hole while all other life is just existing normally. The rest of that verse is presumably an intervention and feeling like they can't possibly understand the pain it feels to go through this.
