Undertow

Two times in.
I've been struck dumb by a voice that
Speaks from deep
Beneath the endless waters.
Twice as clear as heaven,
Twice as loud as reason.
Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
And just as never ending.
The currents mouth below me, opens up around me.
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing.
Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away.

But I'm so comfortable... So comfortable.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up
You're saturating me
How could I let this bring me
Back to my knees.

Third time in.
I've been baptized by a voice that
Screams from deep beneath the cold black waters.
And it's half as high as heaven
And half as clear as reason.
It's cold and and black like silt on the riverbed.
And just as never ending.
The currents mouth below me, opens up around me.
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away

But I'm so comfortable... Too comfortable.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up
You're saturating me
How could I let this happen.

Why don't you kill me,
I'm weak and numb and insignificant,
How can i let this bring me back to my knees.
Euphoria (4X)
I'm back down. I'm in the undertow.
I'm helpless and awake. I'm in the undertow.
I'll die beneath the undertow.
There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow.

Euphoria.

Undertow

by Aterciopelados

As the beat begin to drop and my heart begin to stop,
focus your attention from the toe to the top
of my head as it be boppin� with my eyes closed
cuz I like yo how the groove flows

What stipulates being a free man
you can close me in and throw me away the key,man
but where you hide that key you better hide it well,
and if you tell somebody tell that person not to tell,
Cuz you don�t know what you got until it�s gone,
shit let�s see what happens at the end of the millenium

People�s gone crazy getting kinda tribal,
middle-east, world war 3, it�s in the Bible.
Gonna let it flow just like and undertow
FLOW----GOTTA LET IT FLOW....FLOW
Keep it down low you�re upstream without a row
LOW,LOW...YA GOTTA LET IT LET GO

Si la tierra esta hecha pa�que el hombre domine,
porque es un pecado cuando entierro mi semilla.

Si los compas de Jes�s eran casi vagabundos
porque nos echan mierda caminando por su mundo
Vamos, hablemos de un gran rey
who giveth life to the man, so they can take it away
it�s your life, so live it, esto es para ti so get it,
if something is trying to get you down don�t let it.

There�s always gonna be somebody on top,
don�t get jealous don�t get mad, just give�em their props.

Gotta a lot of people who would like to see us stop
pero Dios nos regalo el Hip-hop

Undertow

I know what I wanted
I know what I wanted
I know how I wanted this to be

You go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Walk up off the water, leave it be

This is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
And I'm not sprouting wings

I'm drowning
Me
I'm drowning
Me, yeah

Brother can you see those birds?
They don't look to heaven
They don't need religion, they can see

They go down to the water
Drink down on the water
Fly up off the water, leave it be

This is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
And no one's coming after me

(chorus)
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah
Breathing ourselves
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah

You know I am tired
Cold and bony tired
Nothing's gonna save me, I can see

I can't say I'm fearful
I can't say I'm not afraid
But I am not resisting, I can see

I don't need a heaven
I don't need religion
I am in the place where I should be

I am breathing water
I am breathing water
You know a body's got to breathe

by U2

I believe right now if I could
I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teeth
We could see what was underneath
And you would be free then

Once I thought only tears could make us free
Salt wearing down to the bone
Like sand against the stone
Against the shoreline

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I wanted to learn all the secrets
From the edge of a knife
From the point of a needle
From a diamond
From a bullet in flight
I would be free then

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I wanted to see how it would feel
To be that sleek
And instead I find this hunger's
Made me weak

I believe right now if I could
I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teeth
We could see what was underneath
And you would be free then

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

Undertow

living for only one.
(when will it stop?)
caught in the undertow.
(when will it stop?)
trying to fight the cold.
(when will it stop?)
why does the night only always..

all the winds that you rise, that you rise.
all the winds that you rise, that you rise, that you rise.
all the winds that you rise, that you rise, that you rise.

(when will it stop?)

no one forever young.
(when will it stop?)
I'm caught in the undertow.
(when will it stop?)
the brittle and bitter bone.
(when will it stop?)
forgotten to know how to grow.

all the wings that you rise, that you rise.
all the wings that you rise, that you rise, that you rise.
all the wings that you rise, that you rise, that you rise.

You pick the storm while you pick the shore.
we'll both take it to the floor, to the floor, to the floor, to the floor.

when will it stop?\\

fuck u whoever erased my lyricsz!
wasn't me.

Undertow

Something’s changing
I feel
I see
Tearing me to dust
Stillborn laughter
My master is here

How do I know?
Undertow tells me so
Down I go

Hard-eyed mirrors
I look
I see
Longing to be air
Long time missing, but waiting around

How do I know?
Undertow tells me so

I’m lethal
So stay forever under arms
When only fear holds you together
You’ll come dancing
Leave them all

Starving proudly
I sleep
I win
Gone with the wind
Fairyland waiting
If I’m small enough, I’ll go in

How do I know?
Undertow tells me so

I set out one night
When the tide was low
There were signs in the sky
But I did not know
I'd be caught in the grip
Of the undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go
With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl

Undertow

Standing by yourself.
High on the hills above the ocean.
This is where you'd come to walk with your friends.
Strange how it leaves you with no emotion.

You can't fight the undertow.
Not when you're all alone.
You can't fight the undertow.
How long 'til you let go?

Taking one step back.
Trying to pull yourself together.
No matter what you say nothing you do
Can hold back the forces on you forever.

You can't fight the undertow.
Not when you're all alone.
You can't fight the undertow.
How long 'til you let go?

Undertow

Your brown eyes are my blue skies.
They light up the rivers that the birds fly over.
Better not to quench your thirst.
Better not to be the first one diving in,
though you caught me and you know why
you breathe in the deepest part of the water.

What's the matter? You hurt yourself?
Open your eyes and there was someone else
Now I've got you in the undertow.
Now I've got you in the undertow.
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight.

Let tonight pass us by.
Do you really want to be the one to fight?
And I said You're better not to light that fire.
It will take you to the darkest part of the weather.

What's the matter? You hurt yourself?
Open your eyes and there was someone else
Now I've got you in the undertow.
Now I've got you in the undertow.
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight.
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight.

Nobody in my mind. Nobody in my mind.
I feel it in my heart tonight.

I lay on the floor, pressing in my eyes.
Seeing little lights.
Please light these decisions that only one could make
I wanted to stay home but I went running running running running from the troubles
running running running running from the troubles
running running running running from the troubles

What's the matter? You hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
Now I've got you in the undertow

Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight.

The pain is gone
The rain and storm they stumble down
The sun disguised again today
The wagon rolls, its axis bound
Another bottle cracked today
The game moves on
The people push and move so hard
Where now don't those flavors go
Answer now
Your questions move like undertow
Off to find your island now
We got pulled out by the undertow
That's the way the wind blows
Everybody's laughing
We got pulled out by the undertow
That's the way the wind blows
Too long today
We got pulled out by the undertow
That's the way the wind blows

Water will forgive me, I'm just tryin' to forget
Starin' at the water as the waves turn ruby red
Remembering
Fear and paranoia run together in my dreams
Water will accept me give me a peace I've never seen
Remembering
Wrap your arms around me
And I'm as light as anything
Through the air I can't breathe
Your lips form a curious smile
Water will forgive me for everything I never should
Water will accept me for all the things I never could
Wrap your arms around me
And I'm as light as anything
Through the air I can't breathe

Undertow

yesterday, my wourld crashed with a blast.
that period i chose to bury my past.
it tells of time-my back against the wall.
back then, a victim of society to maul.
spend your life pushing and shoving to climb to the top
but you're held by a thread.
all the work you've don't goes to waste
because in this life you just cant get ahead.
again my world came tumbling hard upon my back.
life sifted through my hands like sand through an hourglass.
it tells of time i'll never recapture.
the grains controlling my life scarred me forever.
so this is how it goes-you give with no return.
you're always undertowed-can't get ahead.

Undertow

All the way now, can't you see I'm falling?
All the way down and all around, yeah
Oh and it's okay
I wouldn't say I'm lonely, more just alone
'Cause you see I want you, you, yeah yeah
I want you, you, yeah yeah

Oh when will it go?
Not today I said, I'm caught in your undertow
Dragged down again
And you come around, and I know, I know
Caught in your undertow

All the same now, a battle of will and power
And I don't know how, but hour by hour
You push me around, take it all down
Yeah you win again
'Cause you see, I want you, you, yeah yeah
I want you, you, yeah yeah

Oh when will it go?
Not today I said, I'm caught in your undertow
Dragged down again
And you come around, and I know, I know
Caught in your undertow

I'm down, I'm down, I'm down
I'm down, I'm down, I'm down
I'm down, I'm down, I'm down

Oh when will it go?
Not today I said, I'm caught in your undertow
Dragged down again
But you come around, and I know, I know
Caught in your undertow

I know, I know
I want you, you, yeah yeah

Let me go
Let me go
Let me seek the answer that I need to know
Let me find a way
Let me walk away
Through the Undertow
Please let me go

Let me fly
Let me fly
Let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky
Let me chase it all
Break my wings and fall
Probably survive
So let me fly
Let me fly...

Let me run
Let me run
Let me ride the crest of chance into the sun
You were always there
But you may lose me here
Now love me if you dare
And let me run

I'm alive and I am true to my heart now - I am I,
but why must truth always make me die?

Let me break
Let me bleed
Let me tear myself apart I need to breathe
Let me lose my way
Let me walk astray
Maybe to proceed...
Just let me bleed

Let me drain
Let me die
Let me break the things I love I need to cry
Let me burn it all
Let me take my fall
Through the cleansing fire
Now let me die
Let me die...

Let me out
Let me fade into that pitch-black velvet night

Another rollercoaster ride,
We were stuck in overdrive,
You were broken hearted, I was alright,
When I met you.

She tried to ditch me, and I tried to hate her
But we're still here ten breakups later.

I've got this figured out,
But still don't understand her (Woo ooo Woo ooo)
She's like the perfect wave in shark infested sea, (Woo ooo Woo ooo)
When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let her go,
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow.

My friends told me Man you're gonna crash,
A car like that'll knock you on your ass,
I told them all that they could eat our dust,
And we're still truckin' on.

She tried to ditch me, and I tried to hate her
But we're still here ten breakups later.

I've got this figured out,
But still don't understand her (Woo ooo Woo ooo)
She's like the perfect wave in shark infested sea, (Woo ooo Woo ooo)
When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let her go,
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow.

Seems like I never win, I never learned how to swim,
I spend my whole life treadin' water,
You got me off of the beach and now I'm back in the reef,
You can be my life preserver.
Ba-ba-da-ba [x6] (Woo ooo wooo ooo)

I've got this figured out,
But still don't understand her (Woo ooo Woo ooo)
She's like the perfect wave in shark infested sea, (Woo ooo Woo ooo)
When she breaks, she rains down on me,
And I can't catch my breath,
But I won't let her go,
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow. [x2]

Yes, I feel at home in the undertow.
Yes, I feel at home in the undertow.

Undertow

The curtains are drawn
Now the fire warms the room
Meanwhile, outside
Wind from the north-east chills the air
It will soon be snowing out there

And some there are
Cold, they prepare for a sleepless night
Maybe this will be their last fight

But we're safe in each other's embrace
All fears go as I look on your face

Better think a while
Or I may never think again
If this were the last day of your life, my friend
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?

Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you!
Make the most of all you still have coming to you! [or]
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

Let me live again, let life come find me wanting!
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter!
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again

Laughter, music and perfume linger here
And there, and there
Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth,
As it soothes, confusing our doubts

And soon we feel
Why do a single thing today?
There's tomorrow sure as I'm here.

So the days they turn into years
And still no tomorrow appears

Better think a while
Or I may never think again
If this were the last day of your life, my friend
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?

Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you!
Make the most of all you still have coming to you! [or]
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

Let me live again, let life come find me wanting!
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter!
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again
