Undertow Lyrics

Cover art for Undertow lyrics by Suzanne Vega

I'm suprised there havn't been more people commenting on this song. It's a great song, about exposing our true selves. Like the verse, "Once I thought only tears could make us free Salt wearing down to the bone Like sand against the stone Against the shoreline" suggests, only by pain and sorrow can we break out and see ourselves and others for what they truly are. She then comes to realize that once you've scraped away everything superficial, life has a different meaning. Your soul is finally free.
Great song.
