Underwater
FOXTRAX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Water now im drowing in a blunder
I don't like the way I feel tonight
I just can't sit here and wonder
Waiting on the sun in the summer
I don't like the way I feel tonight
My eyes are wide but I cant see what's going on
Repeated verse 1
I can't tell the time
When I'm working on my grind sometimes
And my worries are waving with the wind
And I don't mind if I feel blue
If I'm starring at the moon
And the stars are starring at me with a grin
(Verse 1) repeated
The lyrics of FOXTRAX's song Underwater is about feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by one's problems and emotions. The opening line, "Check my face I think I'm going under," is a metaphor for drowning in the weight of one's troubles. The word "blunder" suggests that the singer may have made a mistake that led to their current predicament. The repetition of "I don't like the way I feel tonight" emphasizes the sense of discomfort and unease.
The chorus continues with the theme of being lost and disoriented. The "breath fogging up the glass" shows that the singer is struggling to see things clearly. The line "My eyes are wide but I can't see what's going on" shows a sense of confusion and being overwhelmed. The repetition of the first verse and the chorus drives home the feeling of being stuck in a negative cycle without any clear way out.
The second verse introduces a glimmer of hope. The singer acknowledges that sometimes they struggle to manage their time and worries but finds solace in small things like nature. The line "And the stars are starring at me with a grin" suggests a sense of connection to something beyond oneself.

I met these guys when they came into town for a show at a job I absolutely hated and they were the most down to earth people I’ve ever met and they invited me to their show. It’s crazy how much a positive person can change an every day negative work environment. I had never heard of them until I met them but the 5 minutes of talking to them really impacted me and I wish these guys the best!
