In The Sea
Ingrid Michaelson(잉그리드 마이클슨) Lyrics

I feel it in my skin, I feel it through my bones
I can feel this profound sadness deeply within me, in every part of my being.

Your fingertips are falling far from where I know
I can no longer feel your touch, which now seems distant and unfamiliar.

I try to pin you down but you move like a dream
I cannot hold onto you or your love, no matter how hard I try, because you are always just out of reach, like a fleeting dream.

I want to find you but you dropped me in the sea
I long to be reunited with you, but you have left me stranded and alone in this vast, overwhelming ocean of heartache and pain.

No no don't rescue me
Despite my pain and suffering, I do not want anyone to save me or help me because I am too immersed in these feelings.

I like the salt water sting
This pain, though intense and unbearable, is also perversely enjoyable, like the stinging sensation of salt water on a wound.

It feels so good to feel
Despite everything, the sheer act of feeling something, even pain, is better than feeling nothing at all.

You move so softly in the middle of the night
I remember how gentle and loving you used to be, especially in the quiet moments we shared at night.

Like a cocoon in sheets you wrap you up so tight
You used to hold me close and protect me, like a warm cocoon of love and safety that enveloped me in your embrace.

Now you're so far away you roll me in the sea
But now you are gone, and the only thing left is the cold, crushing embrace of the sea, which drags me deeper and deeper into despair.

Oh oh oh oh
This is a plaintive cry of pain and longing, a manifestation of the intense emotions I am feeling.

In the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea
This refrain serves to remind me of the metaphorical ocean of sadness and pain that I am drowning in, and how it seems to stretch out endlessly before me.
