Son of the Tide

City horns are screaming, shattering the air
Every shout and siren hits me like a flare
I press my palms to my ears, try to make it fade
World’s too loud, too bright, too sharp, it’s razor blades
But I hear the ocean calling through the concrete maze
A low rumble underneath, pulling me away

I don’t need the surface, I don’t need the light
Just give me pressure, give me weight tonight

I’m the son of the tide, born to dive deep
Where the sound turns to silence and the pressure’s sweet
Wrap me in the current, let the water spin
I was made for this motion, let the sea begin
Push against the waves, feel the world go still
Every crash, every surge — yeah, this is my thrill
Son of the tide, I’m coming alive
When I’m weightless and heavy at the same time

I chase the big rollers, let them slam me down
Bones humming happy when the ocean pounds
Flip and twist and tumble, spinning through the blue
Vestibular fire, proprioception true
People talk above me, voices sharp and thin
But down here it’s just heartbeat — mine and the ocean’s twin

No need for words, no need for air
Just the hug of the deep, everywhere

I’m the son of the tide, born to dive deep
Where the sound turns to silence and the pressure’s sweet
Wrap me in the current, let the water spin
I was made for this motion, let the sea begin
Push against the waves, feel the world go still
Every crash, every surge — yeah, this is my thrill
Son of the tide, I’m coming alive
When I’m weightless and heavy at the same time

Let the storms rage louder, let the thunder roar
I’ll swim straight into the heart of the pour
Father’s blood is salt and storm and endless night
But I found my peace in the quiet of the fight
(quiet of the fight…)

I’m the son of the tide, yeah I dive so deep
Where the noise disappears and the pressure’s sweet
Hold me in the current, let the water sing
This is where I’m whole, this is everything
Son of the tide, I was born to ride
Every powerful wave that pulls me inside
Weightless and heavy, forever I’ll be
Son of the tide… son of the sea
