“Swim in the Light” is the second track off Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'. The song deals with Cudi’s depression and tells of when he realized that drugs will not make his depression go away.
[Chorus]
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away (Eh-ey, yeah)
[Verse 1]
Damage control (Hmm)
The same old tricks won't work no more
Smarter, stronger, hmmm
A nigga gon' make it through
What is to do, I've been low enough
Hmm, who knew I'd make it out?
Been trapped for too long, I'm out of the web
[Chorus]
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away (Eh-ey, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Calls from the dark
I got hope in my eyes
No help in sight
I'ma swim in the light
Mmmm, she's tryna pull me in
But the same old tricks can't work no more, oh-oh-oh
I'm out on the way
[Chorus]
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away (Eh-ey, yeah)

[Outro]
When you're in love
Swim in the light
Swim in your love
Wish me well
Yeah
