Submarine
Björk/London Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do it now
This submarine way down to return
To return
Do it now
Do it now
Do it now
Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Shake us now
Do it now
Do it now




Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Do it now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Björk/London Choir's "Submarine" are a call to action. The singer urges the listener to act now and bring the submarine back to the surface. It's unclear whether the submarine is a metaphor or a literal vessel, but either way, the sense of urgency is palpable. The repeated lines "Do it now" and "Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep" create a sense of momentum and impatience. There is a feeling that time is running out, and action must be taken immediately.


The imagery in the song is evocative and mysterious. The idea of a submarine submerged in the depths of the ocean conjures up feelings of claustrophobia and isolation. The repeated use of the phrase "heavy deep sleep" suggests a state of hibernation or suspended animation. The singer seems to be calling for a rebirth, a waking up from this state of dormancy. The urgency of the lyrics is underscored by the soaring choral arrangement, which creates a sense of grandeur and awe.
