Lyric discussion by beowulf44 

This song has great lyrics and is a great cover for Panic.

Like in many panic songs, (see Rock, for one) the water is the all-consuming substance that surrounds and subdues you. Here, it represents drug addiction. Grabbing each other's collar and rising out of the water-- we need each other to clear get beyond this. Stick your finger in the dike -- reference to old fable/story, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Brinker_or_the_Silver_Skates.

Another theme in Panic songs is addiction--Another thought--Panic apparently changes the lyrics from "after all that I've been through" to "after all that I've been to." Makes me think of people beating their addictions by letting every thing else go, including other people, after all the shows they go to... Panic never leaves you in the dark (the venue lights always turn back on) or on your own (surrounded by many others) - Of course, this is just the creation of another addiction.
