Surface
Eva Under Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in the violence
Lost if you didn't follow me
Gone and forever time is whatever
Nothing matters when you're already
Set to drown
Way down
Way down
Shatter the surface
And break me free
Sinking you're the sound
Saving me
Time stands still in the silence
Lost in the violence
Time is forever
Life moves on
Time moving onward
Timeless surrender
Nothing matters when you're already
Set to drown
Way Down
Way Down
Way Down
Way Down
Shatter the surface
And break me free
Sinking you're the sound
Saving me
(Way down)
You are the sound I heard
(Way down)
Shattered
(Way down)
You are the sound I heard
(Way down)
Shattered
You are the sound I heard
Shatter the surface
And break me free
Sinking you're the sound
Saving me
Shatter the surface
Break me free
(Break me, break me)
Sending your heart and soul
Saving me
The song "Surface" by Eva Under Fire is an emotional ballad that explores the feeling of being lost and overwhelmed. The first stanza sets the tone of the song, with the singer expressing her fear of losing herself in the silence or in the chaos that surrounds her. She acknowledges that she needs someone to follow her, or else she will be lost forever, drowning in her own emotions. The second stanza introduces the idea of time, which seems to stand still in moments of silence or violence, but keeps moving regardless of how we feel. The chorus is an invitation to shatter the surface and break free from the chains that keep us trapped, alluding to a moment of catharsis where the pain is finally released. The repetition of the phrase "way down" reinforces the idea of being trapped in a dark place, but also implies a sense of descending into the depths in the hope of finding something valuable.
The bridge of the song marks a turning point, where the singer realizes that the sound that has been haunting her is not a threat but a saving grace. The sound becomes a metaphor for hope or love, a force that can break the surface and set her free. The final chorus is a plea to break the singer free, sending her heart and soul to space where she can be reborn.
Overall, the song resonates with anyone who has felt trapped and overwhelmed by their surroundings, but also recognizes the power of hope and love to break free. "Surface" is a beautiful song that showcases Eva Under Fire's vocal range and emotional depth, and is a testament to the healing power of music.
