Underwater
Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm lying in a sleepless bed
And I'm sinking in my thoughts again
And my life is pulled over a shoulder.

It's so hard to fight the undertow
When I'm coming up from below
And I feel like I'm losing all my power.
When I'm down so low
It's so hard to find the top,
Hard to see the top.

Then you come to me.
I can finally breathe.
Because I feel like I've been under the water.

And you take my hand,
And you lead the way.
Help me up to the top of the water.

And I'm frightened by the present tense
In a world without pretense
And no longer a burden to shoulder.

What I fear the most is freedom;
All the glory and the kingdom come,
Because before all my dreams had been shattered.

When I'm down so low
It's so hard to find the top,
Hard to see the top.

Then you come to me.
I can finally breathe
Because I feel like I've been under the water.

And you take my hand,
And you lead the way.
Help me up to the top of the water.

Well, I was down so low
And I thought I heard a voice,
Thought I heard a voice.

Why do you drown in fear
When I'm always here?
Help you up to the top of the water.

And when you sink below
You are never alone.
Help you up to the top of the water.





Doo doo doo doo doo

Overall Meaning

The Brothers' song, Underwater, explores the emotions one feels when they are in a state of hopelessness and despair, and how they find comfort and support in the form of a loved one. The first stanza depicts the singer's tough time in coping with his thoughts and the burden of his life, and how it's hard to fight and rise above the negligent feeling of inadequacy. The singer feels his life has been too troublesome, and he doesn't have the capability to hold on to his power anymore. The second stanza talks about the power of the present tense, the fear of freedom, and how the singer's dreams were shattered before.


However, the chorus brings some hope as the singer sings that his love interest has come to help him in his underwater situation. The metaphorical "underwater" situation here means being depressed, and the loved one's presence is like coming up from underwater, feeling the fresh air on the top. The verse "hard to see the top" seems to suggest that in that situation, it's hard to see oneself in a better place than the current one. The loved one takes the singer's hand and leads him to the top of the water, symbolizing a partner in the singer's dark times. The singer feels like he is not alone as his loved one promises to stay by his side through thick and thin.


The final of the song depicts the singer hearing a voice that he thought he had lost, and the voice assures the singer that he is never alone, and his loved one is by his side to help him cope with the underwater situation. The song's message is to remind people that even in their darkest moments, they are not alone, and there is someone out there that can help them through their tough times.


Line by Line Meaning

Well I'm lying in a sleepless bed
I'm unable to sleep and stuck with thoughts in my head


And I'm sinking in my thoughts again
My thoughts are dragging me down like I'm submerged in water


And my life is pulled over a shoulder.
My life feels like a heavy burden that I have to carry


It's so hard to fight the undertow
It's difficult to resist the force that's pulling me down


When I'm coming up from below
When I try to come up for air after being underwater


And I feel like I'm losing all my power.
I feel weak and powerless in the face of my struggles


When I'm down so low
When I'm feeling my lowest


It's so hard to find the top,
It's difficult to see a way out or to find hope


Hard to see the top.


Then you come to me.
But then you appear in my life


I can finally breathe.
And with your presence, I feel relief and can finally breathe easier


Because I feel like I've been under the water.
Because my struggles have felt like I've been drowning


And you take my hand,
And you offer me your support


And you lead the way.
And you guide me towards a better place


Help me up to the top of the water.
You are helping me rise above my struggles and find relief


And I'm frightened by the present tense
I'm overwhelmed and scared by the challenges I'm currently facing


In a world without pretense
In a world where things are real and honest


And no longer a burden to shoulder.
And no longer carrying the weight of my struggles alone


What I fear the most is freedom;
I'm afraid of the responsibility and uncertainty that comes with freedom


All the glory and the kingdom come,
I'm afraid of the potential consequences that come with achieving success and fame


Because before all my dreams had been shattered.
Because I've faced disappointment before and am scared of being hurt again


Well, I was down so low
I was feeling my absolute worst


And I thought I heard a voice,
And in that dark moment, I thought I heard someone reaching out to me


Thought I heard a voice.


Why do you drown in fear
Why are you letting your fears consume you?


When I'm always here?
When I am here to support you and help you overcome them?


Help you up to the top of the water.
I am here to help you rise above your struggles and find relief


And when you sink below
And if you ever feel like you're drowning again


You are never alone.
You always have my support and love


Help you up to the top of the water.
I will always be there to help you overcome your struggles and find peace
