Quiet underneath

Crowds crash like thunder, lights stab my eyes

Every voice a siren, every touch a knife

I flinch at the fabric, the tags, the noise

World’s too loud, too bright, too much, no choice

But when I hit the water, everything slows

Pressure hugs me gentle, no one knows

Waves whisper secrets only I can hear

Dad’s blood in my veins, drawing me near

Heartbeat racing on the shore

But down below, I need no more

I’m diving deep, where the sound can’t reach me

Waves wrapping ‘round like a blanket, finally free

I see every ripple, every tiny dance of light

In the blue, I’m whole, I’m right

Son of the sea, but the world’s too fast up there

Underwater’s my kingdom, my quiet, my air

Let the surface scream, let the dry land fight

I’m home in the deep, in the calm of the night

Textures on land feel like fire on skin

Tags itching, crowds pressing in

But here the current strokes me soft and slow

No sudden shocks, just the ebb and flow

I trace the patterns, the fractals in the tide

Every bubble’s a story, every current’s my guide

Eyes wide open, catching every gleam

This is where I’m me, this is my dream

They call me strange, they call me lost

But Poseidon knows what the surface cost

I’m diving deep, where the sound can’t reach me

Waves wrapping ‘round like a blanket, finally free

I see every ripple, every tiny dance of light

In the blue, I’m whole, I’m right

Son of the sea, but the world’s too fast up there

Underwater’s my kingdom, my quiet, my air

Let the surface scream, let the dry land fight

I’m home in the deep, in the calm of the night

[Bridge] (slow build, then drop hard into final chorus — add vocal chops or echoes for sensory feel)

Sometimes I surface, try to breathe their way

But the noise comes rushing, steals my day

So I sink again, let the ocean claim

My father’s realm, it calls my name

No more fighting, no more mask to wear

Just me and the deep, and the peace down there

[Final Chorus] (bigger, with layered harmonies and faster hi-hats)

I’m diving deep (deep, deep), where the chaos can’t reach me

Waves hold me close, set my senses free

Every detail sparkles, every movement’s art

In the ocean’s heart, I play my part

Son of Poseidon, but the land’s not mine

Underwater forever, this soul divine

Let ‘em shout above, let the world spin wild

I’m safe in the silence, I’m the ocean’s child

[Outro] (fade with watery reverb, slowing beat)

Dive… deep…

Where the sound can’t reach…

I’m home…
