This song is inspired by the suicide of British writer Virginia Woolf, who, after successive depressions, ended her own life on March 28, 1941, by filling the pocket of her jacket with rocks and drowning in the River Ouse (hence the “Underwater” in the title).
The narrator of the song seems to share...
[Verse 1]
Everything you've owned is gone
Everything you've known is wrong
Everyone you've loved has left
Everything you've touched is dead
[Verse 2]
Everyone you've known is gone
Everything you've touched, gone wrong
Take my hand, raise up underground
Listen well, follow the sound
Chains moving along like our legs
Never quite knowing where to stay
And rest for a while
[Bridge]
When you're underwater, whisper
Wait for all these sounds to fall away
When you're underwater
Winter will feed on the warmth of your things
When you're underwater, whisper
Wait for all these sounds to fall away
When you're underwater
Winter will feed on the warmth of your things
