The Sky Under the Sea is the last track on the album Selfish Machines and it is also the only song in the album that uses the album title as a lyric.
Vic Fuentes stated the intended meaning of the song in an interview
“This song is about admitting, “I am the selfish machine.” It’s about being self...
[Verse 1]
I still remember the night you tried to kiss me through the window
I tried to settle for the taste of touching glass over the sound of answering machines
Because I love the way your voice, it says it's gonna get back to me someday (Oh, oh)
As I brace my knees, you hold me down with your eyes
[Chorus]
And someday I'll drive, close both my eyes
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights
[Verse 2]
It's gonna be the best day of my life
And oh my God, you'll never be as beautiful without me
Beauty needs an animal to breathe
And baby, you'll be alright as long as I'm not
So do that dance in the dark
Sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want
[Chorus]
And someday I'll drive, close both my eyes
We'll swim in circles in the blue lights
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean (Ocean, ocean)
Oh no
[Breakdown]
And this is gonna be the best day (Of my life)
A celebration of an ending
Come on!
[Verse 3]
And do you really trust your tongue or did you bury the taste?
And is this fantasy real or is it all homemade?
And did you call me last night just 'cause you couldn't get laid?
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the selfish machine
[Bridge]
(Yeah, that's fucking right)
Do you think you're the only one? (Afraid)
Do you think you're the only one? (Afraid)
Do you think you're the only one afraid of this machine (Ooh)
(Afraid)
[Chorus]
And someday I'll drive, close both my eyes
I'll be your breath if you can be mine
And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea
A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean waves
[Outro]
Oh no, oh, woah (One, two, one, two, three, four)
And do you see me at all under the tall waves?
And do you see me at all?
La-da-da, da-da, da-da, da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Ah, da-da-da-da, da

Vic Fuentes in a track-by-track for AltPress:
“This song is about admitting, "I am the selfish machine.” It’s about being selfish with love and taking what you want without regret. The selfish machine refers to the animal inside all of us that no one ever wants to admit is there. I consider all of...
