Björk and Robert Wyatt 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
Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Shake us now
Do it now
Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Do it now
The opening line of "When will it be time to document" in Björk and Robert Wyatt's song "Submarine" suggests a sense of urgency and the need for action. The repetition of "Do it now" reinforces this sense of urgency to take action. The reference to a submarine may indicate a feeling of being trapped or submerged, and the desire to "return" may suggest a longing for escape or freedom. The repeated call to "shake us out of the heavy deep sleep" reinforces this idea of being trapped or stuck.
Overall, the lyrics of "Submarine" seem to express a desire for change, action, and freedom from whatever is trapping or holding us back. It encourages taking responsibility and taking action to effect change, rather than waiting for someone else to do it for us. The repetition of "do it now" and "shake us now" create a sense of urgency and encourages the listener to take decisive action.

This submarine way down to return
Descending into the depths of the ocean with the hope of resurfacing
To return
To finally come back after a long journey

Urgently requesting to wake up from the slumber

Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Repeatedly requesting to surface from a long sleep
Do it now
Final plea to take immediate action
