Lyrics

The storm didn't warn me, it just took me and carried me away
I fell from the deck, no one heard me when I shouted for help
The cold hits, stiffens every muscle
The light above is thinning, gradually becoming darker
Gravity is foreign, it's pulling me down
Towards a place from which there's no return
Salt stings the wounds that can't be seen anymore
And the darkness around is heavy, it doesn't dodge
The bottom is calling, but my lungs are screaming for shore
Every kick is a war against this silence
I'm not asking for rescue, I'm not waiting for the ship
I'll get up myself, even if it costs a lot of effort
I'm trying to get to the surface
It's quiet down here, almost peaceful
I can give up, stop all the useless fighting
The pressure crushes my chest, time loses its meaning
But some memory strikes, gives me a reason
I can't sink because of a single image
That's all I have to do, I can't let it disappear
I look towards the dim reflection
I find strength there, which should have been just comfort
The bottom calls, but my lungs scream to the shore
Every kick is a war against this silence
I don't ask for rescue, I don't wait for a ship
I'll get up myself, even if it costs a lot of effort
Stay afloat!
The journey up is longer. Every meter hurts
My muscles are on fire, my mind is already numb
There's no strength left, it's just a compulsion
From darkness to light, the debt of oxygen must be paid
Only one movement in my thoughts: upwards
This air on the surface
It tears my lungs, the sun blinds me
I'm not on the beach, I'm drifting, soon to be safe
I'm staying afloat
