letra de swimming lessons for a thalassophobe - grim cuervo

Loading...

oh, hands crossed, step to verge, toes off the edge
arms up to the sky
breathe the salt in the air
can’t find the will to jump off
i have a great fear of the sea
scared to swim in the deep all my life

you said, “the ocean sings with everything”
but to me the notion stings on my wings
enforced it with your final breath
an ocean is a death

it’s time, time, time
to dive, dive, dive

and there’s no chart to you i can follow
you’ve gone to a world i can’t view
no distance, no compass, no held hands
all my past’s nest in an urn
and the worst truth i have to swallow is
swimming without you
fledgling perched in sands makes demands
it’s out of your hands

you thalassophobe! (you thalassophobe!)
scared of deep water! (scared of deep water!)
don’t strand yourself forever
it’s time, time, time
to dive, dive, dive

an ocean is a broadcast of a future
surrounds an island of the past
these fears, these lessons drop in tears
a wave has passed

o, thalassophobe! (o, thalassophobe!)
terrified of what’s under! (terrified of what’s under!)
you need to let go (let go)
of your security anchor
paddle out to wherever, to wherever

seventeen seas rose up around
a tide of swords came to profound
clouds of imperative storms swarm to push the sunlight out of the bay
a virulent post finally dies
blood can’t paint the boat, on shores it dries
left with unwritten paeans but you always knew what i’m gonna say

(i, thalassophobe!)
what recourse do i have but to live?
(i, thalassophobe!)
it’s time, time, time
to dive, dive, dive

oh, crouch first, jump from verge, toes off the edge
arms out to the blue
hold in that first brave breath
you’ve tried to teach me well, still
i have a great fear of the sea

scared to swim in the deep

all my life
