The Submariner
Fawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mood swings and bad dreams
Cold shadow, bone marrow
Numb skin, adult swim
How does this just come to be the deep end
Just won't comply, calliope she drifts out to sea
And this shallow water covers me
Sun dial, fake smile
Ship wrecking, name checking
It's coming, this tsunami
Foreshadowed in my memoir
Light flickers, sea sicker
Storm brewing and I'm sinking
Her signal is my slipping
Her liquid, my failing
The lyrics to Fawn's song The Submariner are complex, but they paint a picture of a person who is struggling with their identity and emotional state. The opening line, "Seafarer, sweet terror," sets the tone for the entire song. The singer is someone who is both drawn to and afraid of the ocean, which can represent the depths of the human psyche.
The second line, "Mood swings and bad dreams," indicates that the singer is dealing with some kind of mental health issue. The following lines describe a physical numbness and a feeling of detachment from reality. This could represent a dissociative state caused by trauma or mental illness.
The chorus of the song evokes a sense of powerlessness in the face of larger forces. The calliope, a musical instrument traditionally associated with circuses, represents the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of life. The shallow water covering the singer could represent a feeling of being overwhelmed or suffocated.
The second verse of the song discusses more specific images of danger and destruction, such as a shipwreck and a looming tsunami. The mention of a memoir suggests that these events may be drawn from the singer's personal experiences.
Overall, The Submariner is a haunting and introspective song that explores themes of fear, powerlessness, and mental health.
Line by Line Meaning
Seafarer, sweet terror
Being a sailor is both thrilling and terrifying
Mood swings and bad dreams
Emotional instability and nightmares plague me
Cold shadow, bone marrow
The darkness surrounds me, chilling me to the core
Numb skin, adult swim
I'm desensitized to danger and the sea is a harsh reality
How does this just come to be the deep end
I never intended to end up in the depths of the sea
Just won't comply, calliope she drifts out to sea
Despite my resistance, the sea and its temptations call to me
And this shallow water covers me
The overwhelm of my situation, even in the shallows, engulfs me
Sun dial, fake smile
I'm lost in time, and I'm hiding my true emotions with a facade
Ship wrecking, name checking
I'm causing destruction and taking inventory of the damage
It's coming, this tsunami
A disaster is imminent
Foreshadowed in my memoir
I knew this was going to happen based on my past experiences
Light flickers, sea sicker
The instability of the boat is affecting me and the electrical system
Storm brewing and I'm sinking
A storm is brewing and I'm struggling to stay afloat
Her signal is my slipping
Her lack of communication is causing me to lose my grip
Her liquid, my failing
The sea is her element, but I'm unable to keep up and failing
