Let me swim for

Be my

The lyrics of Keluar's "Surface" describe a feeling of overwhelming destiny that is coloring in more and more shades of experience as it drives the singer towards a desired goal. The senses are described as a swarm of colors, while the surface represents an obstacle or barrier that must be breached in order to reach the desired goal. The foam and waves, representing the difficulties of life, cannot deter this individual's pursuit of love or any other desired goal. The repetition of the phrase "Be my" is a plea for the loved one to become the foundation or the structure in which the singer can lose themselves.
The lyrics portray a sense of desire that is both pragmatic and emotional. The singer recognizes the inevitability of fate while holding onto the hope of finding peace with what is desired most. The swimming circles described in the lyrics represent the emotional turmoil that comes with trying to attain a goal that seems just out of reach. This symbolic description paints the picture of someone who is fighting to stay afloat, despite being pulled under.
