Cover art for Undertow lyrics by Pain of Salvation

This song is about someone who is completely broken. They want to do and feel everything, but are trapped by some outside force. In the end, they want to die, and morn their own death, as they need to escape, but at the same time, regret everything they have lost.

My Interpretation

@doggonemess Agree with this ... as I was in a similar situation, and all my poetry at that time was about metaphors to do with drowning, oceans, water etc. etc.
