Islands
Dote Lyrics

Crawl
Start moving forward, even if it's slow and difficult

Into the night
Embrace the unknown and don't be afraid of the darkness

Just breathe
Take a moment and focus on your breath, it will help calm your mind

When the time is right
Don't rush things, wait for the right moment to act

Fill your lungs
Take a deep breath and feel alive

When these west winds come
Take advantage of the opportunities presented to you

And take my doubts
Allow me to let go of my uncertainties and fears

I've been holding too long
I've been struggling and trying to keep everything inside for too long

I'm drowning in your arms (Flooded islands)
I feel overwhelmed and trapped by my emotions to the point of suffocation

Stop
Take a moment to pause and evaluate the situation

These overwhelming waves
These strong emotions that constantly hit me like waves

Which constantly break
Which repeatedly cause me to feel broken and defeated

When I turn to you
When I seek comfort and support from you

These birch trees
These symbols of new beginnings and growth

Leave me colourless
Fail to bring back the vibrancy and joy in my life

While I am slowly losing my breath
As my struggles and hardships continue, my ability to stay strong and hopeful is fading

I'm drowning in your arms (Flooded islands)
I am still trapped in my emotions and unable to break free

I'm drowning in your arms (Flooded islands)
My emotions are overwhelming and consuming me, leaving me feeling lost and helpless

I'm drowning in your arms (Flooded islands)
I feel like I'm caught in a cycle of despair and can't find a way out

I'm drowning in your arms (Flooded islands)
My struggles and pain are leading me to feel completely helpless and desperate
