According to Trent, Underwater is dedicated “to everyone, who might feel confused and hopeless.”
It was confirmed that the song would feature on Trent’s debut album, The Stages of Change, when the singer revealed it as part of the tracklist on March 23, 2022 via Instagram.
[Verse 1]
I feel like I'm outta breath
Anxiety strikes again
I don't trust my consciousness
Got memories I hope I won't forget
I'm running low
And everything turns so cold
It seems like those side effects
Make me a psychopath
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes and goes again
Like the waves of the ocean
And I might need a friend
When I'm out in the open
[Chorus]
I keep holding on
My lifeline
Pull me back on board
When I might
Drown in my own thoughts
'Cause I like drifting off the shore
[Refrain]
I got my head underwater
Got my head underwatеr
[Verse 2]
My mind's playing tricks on me
A game I don't understand
I do it unconsciously
Thе current, it pulls me back in
I wanna hide
From the demons inside my mind
But when they come back again
Remind me of who I am
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes and goes again
Like the waves of the ocean
And I might need a friend
When I'm out in the open
[Chorus]
Ohh, I keep holding on
My lifeline
Pull me back on board
When I might
Drown in my own thoughts
'Cause I like drifting off the shore
[Refrain]
I got my head underwater
Got my head underwater
[Bridge]
Ooooh, Oooh-oooooh (Oooh-ooh-ooh)
Oooh-ooooh, oooh (Oooh-ooh-ooh)
Oooh-ooooh, oooh (Oooh-ooh-ooh)
Oooh-ooooh
[Refrain]
It comes and goes again (head underwater)
And I might need a friend (head underwater)
[Chorus]
Oh-ohhh, I keep holding on
My lifeline
Pull me back on board
When I might
Drown in my own thoughts
'Cause I like drifting off the shore
[Refrain]
I got my head underwater
I got my head underwater
[Outro]
(Head underwater)
(Ooooh, Oooh-oooooh)
I got my head underwater
