Lyrics
[Intro]
Look at the water now
Tell me what we’ve done
[Verse 1]
We made it cloudy now
Film across the surface
Plastic in the reeds
Oil beneath the current
A bottle by the bank
A dead fish in the shallows
Every careless hand
Left another mark below
[Pre-Chorus]
We called it progress
While the river lost its name
Now every breath we take
Carries some of what we changed
[Chorus]
All the filth makes it harder now
Harder to see what was living below
Clear blue waters seem distant now
Like a memory nobody knows
Earth’s children, we made the world darker now
Hands full of dust from the damage we sowed
Look at the water now
Look at the water now
[Verse 2]
The creek used to run cold
Over stones you could count
Now the rain pulls a brown line
Through the fields and the town
We built walls around the wetlands
Cut roots for another road
Then wondered why the summer heat
Had nowhere else to go
[Pre-Chorus]
We called it progress
While the river lost its name
Now every breath we take
Carries some of what we changed
[Chorus]
All the filth makes it harder now
Harder to see what was living below
Clear blue waters seem distant now
Like a memory nobody knows
Earth’s children, we made the world darker now
Hands full of dust from the damage we sowed
Look at the water now
Look at the water now
[Bridge]
But there’s a seed beneath the pavement
There’s a spring under the stone
If we stop feeding the fire
Maybe water finds its home
Pick the waste up from the shoreline
Let the marsh breathe again
The future isn’t clean by wishing
It begins with what we mend
[Final Chorus]
All the filth made it harder then
But we can clear what we poured in the flow
Clear blue waters won’t stay distant then
If we give the river room to grow
Earth’s children, let’s make the world brighter now
Hands in the soil, turn the damage around
Look at the water now
We can change the water now
[Outro]
Look at the water now
Don’t turn away
What we return to the earth
Returns someday

Style
Dark trap with a slow half-time groove around seventy BPM, distorted sub-bass and restrained 808 slides, sparse minor-key piano hits, murky synth drones, clipped hi-hats, deep punchy kick, and occasional industrial impacts. Start with a bare, ominous verse; widen the chorus with heavier bass and layered low male vocals; pull back for a tense bridge, then end with a stripped, unresolved outro. Vocals should be urgent, gritty, and emotionally controlled, with tight rhythmic phrasing, low harmonies, and short cavernous reverb. Keep the mix dark, spacious, and bass-forward without masking the words.
