Water Lyrics

Asleep or real, was I ever really here?
These memories are mine, I fear
Pick it up, with own hands
It's with dust we try to build a land
Once again throw my body into
A wall full of wild roses
City enigma, city enigma, city enigma

I'm out here in the open
The more I have the less my body feels
Hiding on the ocean, frozen
This is how frustration feels
Can I swim through tides of changes?
Can I swim through tides of changes?

Pull it back
A pale heart built up by dissonance
I grew up around scars
Silence brought, silence brought these scars
I found peace in the storm
I found rest, I found rest in its warmth

I'm out here in the open
The more I have the less my body feels
Hiding on the ocean, frozen
This is how frustration feels
Can I swim through tides of changes?
Can I swim through tides of changes?
We are out here
Tracing steps near
In the river light
Run away from fear
We are out here
Tracing steps near
In the river light
Run away from fear
We are out here
Tracing steps near
In the river light
Sorry to those who entered my mind
Shared my eyes
Sorry to those who entered my mind
Shared my eyes

I'm out here in the open
The more I have the less my body feels
Hiding on the ocean, frozen
This is how frustration feels
Can I swim through tides of changes?
Can I swim through tides of changes?

Pull it back
A pale heart built up by dissonance
I grew up around scars
Silence brought, silence brought these scars
I found peace in the storm
I found rest, I found rest in its warmth

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.

Frontman Johan Pedersen says of this track; “‘Water’ is about loneliness – a general feeling of being on the outside looking in which I’ve felt a lot and I think is quite common. It’s affected my relations throughout my life, which is something I feel both hit by and responsible for, which is why the lyrics on this track are a bit of an apology to those close to me – basically trying to explain where I’m coming from while realizing that it’s part of my personality which I can’t do much about.”
