Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cold net in my hands
Salt on my skin
Men at the pier
Hardened by wind
Silver backs flash
Under black water
I hear the deep call
Pulling me farther
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where the tide goes
Tell me what it keeps
Every line we throw down
Reaches into the deep
Hard lives, hard nights
Lanterns on the waves
We learn the old way
From the sea that takes
[Chorus]
Hold me, cold tide
Hold me, cold tide
Ships on the ocean
Fade and collide
Hold me, cold tide
Hold me, cold tide
Rough men, rough water
We live or we dive
[Verse 2]
Herring in the hold
Rain on the deck
Knuckles cracked open
Names we won't forget
Moon on the mast
Salt in the doorway
Mouths full of prayer
We work till the grey
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where the tide goes
Tell me what it keeps
Every line we throw down
Reaches into the deep
Hard lives, hard nights
Lanterns on the waves
We learn the old way
From the sea that takes
[Chorus]
Hold me, cold tide
Hold me, cold tide
Ships on the ocean
Fade and collide
Hold me, cold tide
Hold me, cold tide
Rough men, rough water
We live or we dive
[Bridge]
Under, under
Where the old fish sleep
Under, under
Where the winter speaks
If I disappear
Let the water know
I was made of salt
I was made to go
[Final Chorus]
Hold me, cold tide
Hold me, cold tide
Ships on the ocean
Fade and collide
Hold me, cold tide
Hold me, cold tide
Rough men, rough water
We live or we dive

Style
Icelandic deep house and techno with a rolling four-on-the-floor pulse, foggy bass swells, and a restrained icy synth arpeggio; verse glides in sparse and mysterious, pre-chorus opens with filtered claps and rising reverb tails, chorus blooms with a hooky minor-key lead and heavier kick, bridge drops to sub-bass and breathy vocal fragments before the final lift. Female vocals with close-mic intimacy, doubled chorus lines, delayed ad-libs, and shimmering top-line echoes. Glacial ear candy: reversed water swells, distant buoy-like chimes, and a slow white-noise rise. Wide, glossy, midnight-cold mix., techno, female vocals
