[Verse 1]
Thoughts race like lightning, words locked in my chest
I try to push them out, but they crash and rest
On land the sirens scream, stab right through my ears
Every shout, every clang, brings a thousand fears
Air scratches my skin, rough and hot and wrong
Crowds press too close, I can’t stay long
But I dive, I drop, the world goes soft and slow
Father’s kingdom calls, where the quiet grows
[Pre-Chorus]
They wait for my sound, but it’s trapped inside
My mind’s a hurricane, no place to hide
[Chorus]
Underwater, the noise melts away
Just a gentle pulse, no pain today
Water holds me close, touches like a friend
Soft and cool and kind, no scratch, no end
I talk to the dolphins, they hear my heart
Fish swim in circles, we never part
No voice required, no struggle to speak
In the deep I’m heard, in the blue I’m free
[Verse 2]
Sentences swirl, perfect lines in my head
Stories and secrets I wish I could spread
But mouth stays shut, tongue tied in knots
While the surface world screams and rots
Down here the current carries my thoughts
Reefs light up bright, every color I’ve got
Turtles glide past, they know what I mean
Sharks circle gentle, part of the scene
[Pre-Chorus]
No need for language when the ocean replies
We connect in silence under endless skies
[Chorus]
Underwater, the noise melts away
Just a gentle pulse, no pain today
Water holds me close, touches like a friend
Soft and cool and kind, no scratch, no end
I talk to the dolphins, they hear my heart
Fish swim in circles, we never part
No voice required, no struggle to speak
In the deep I’m heard, in the blue I’m free
[Bridge] (build with rising synths and vocal echoes, then massive drop — add subtle animal-like calls or whooshes)
I scream inside, but no one ever knows
All these words waiting, ready to explode
But the whales sing back, the seahorses dance
They get my rhythm, give me a chance
No forcing the sound, no faking the smile
Here communication’s real, mile after mile
[Final Chorus] (bigger production: added harmonies, faster hi-hats, triumphant swell)
Underwater (yeah!), nothing hurts anymore
Noise is gone, just the ocean’s core
Touch is velvet, senses finally calm
I speak without words, like a healing psalm
Son of Poseidon, mind full of fire
Talking to creatures, climbing higher
Let the land keep shouting, let them misunderstand
Down here I’m connected, this is my land
[Outro] (fade with watery echoes, slowing beat, distant clicks/whales)
No words… needed…
Heard… in the deep…
Free…
