[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat racing on the shore
But down below, I need no more
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
They call me strange, they call me lost
But Poseidon knows what the surface cost
[Chorus]
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…
