Party dead on arrival if me nah deh yah
Like the Earth without the Sun

Now, move to the left, to the left, to the left
Move to the right, to the right, to the right
Move to the left, to the left, to the left
Now halt and whine and go down
Move to the left, to the left, to the left
Move to the right, to the right, to the right
Move to the left, to the left, to the left

Come whine, Jiggle up gyal
Bounce, double up gyal

The song "Arrival" by C.j. Catalizer tells the story of a woman who is submerged underwater, possibly due to a drowning incident. The first two lines of the verse "As she submarines, the rope loops 'round her feeble feet" suggests that she is tied up or tangled in a rope underwater. The following lines, "Before the dawn, breaks on her sorry grasp," could indicate that she is struggling to break free from the rope before it drags her down further.
The chorus of the song is where the lyrics become more poignant. The line "She never finds her bearings, sucking splash into her lungs" suggests that the woman has succumbed to her fate and is drowning. The repetition of the "Ooh" and "Ooh ooh" after this line signifies the depth of her despair and the hopelessness of the situation. However, the following lines, "Though I cannot see, I can hear her smile as she sings" shows that even in the most dire of circumstances, there is still a glimmer of hope and positivity.

As she submarines
She dives underwater
The rope loops 'round her feeble feet
A rope encircles her weak feet
Before the dawn
It is still dark out
Breaks on her sorry grasp
The sunrise illuminates her sad grip
In a blink and in one motion
Suddenly and swiftly
Rope constricts
The rope tightens
Rips her towards the ocean
It drags her towards the sea
She never finds her bearings
She never locates her position
Sucking splash into her lungs
Water enters her lungs
Ooh
Expression of emotion
Ooh
Expression of emotion
Ooh ooh
Expression of emotion
Ooh ooh
Expression of emotion
Though I cannot see
Despite my lack of vision
I can hear her smile as she sings
I can detect happiness in her singing voice
And though I cannot see
Again, despite my inability to see
I can hear her smile as she sings
I can detect joy in her song
Oh ooh
Expression of emotion
Ooh
Expression of emotion
