Underwater
Jake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

VERSE ONE:
I played a game
Just like I was a child again
And I felt the pain
Crashing like a wave
And I sink to the floor
Like a stone from the shore
And I pray that You'll be there
To save me from the storm

CHORUS:
Underwater
And I think I'm going down

VERSE TWO:
I dreamed a dream
Just like I was a child again
It came over me
Crashing like a wave
I'm in over my head
As I struggle for air
And I'm calling for help
And I know that You'lll be there

CHORUS:
Underwater
And I think I'm going down
And I know that only You can save me now
In the storm of my life
You're the only hope in sight
Now I'm sinking and there's no one else around, oh no
Underwater, please don't let me drown

(repeat chorus)

In the storm of my life
You're the only hope in sight
Now I'm sinking and there's no one else around, oh no
Underwater, please don't let me drown





Underwater, please don't let me drown

Overall Meaning

The song "Underwater" by Jake depicts the feeling of drowning in life, while all alone and in need of help. In the first verse, he talks about how he played like a child and felt the pain crashing down on him like a wave. He sinks to the floor feeling helpless and looks for a savior to help him in the storm of his life. The chorus repeats the line, "Underwater and I think I'm going down," which signifies that the feeling of drowning is getting stronger and he is almost giving up. The second verse talks about dreaming like a child and being overwhelmed by the crashing waves of life, which makes him gasp for air.


Jake concludes that there is only one hope in sight, which is the savior who he wants to be there to save him. The end of the song, "Underwater, please don't let me drown," expresses his need to be saved and his trust in the savior to lift him out of the stormy water.


The song is not only about drowning but also about fighting against the waves. The song captures the universal feeling of struggling and surviving in life, and how, during those tough times, we often seek the comfort and assurance of hope.

I think this would be good for you guys and for the viewers. A big part of the allure of your channel was a group of friends doing what they love. It's fun to see someone find underwater treasures but it is amazing to see people finding treasures and having a blast with their friends.
