Sound
Off.Date Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All we can do for now is hope
I don't know if we'll make it home
Water all around could swell and wash us all away
Away
And if we never said I'll be on land again
This will be one last song I will not forget
And if you drown
You won't even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown
I'm losing track of all the days
Lost inside a life boat
Drifting out with all the waves
The waves
And some will find their way by looking towards the sky
And some will leave their fate up to these ocean tides
And if you drown
You won't even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown
And when you drown
You'll never even make a sound
And when you drown
You're gonna swallow water down
The water gets so heavy
The water gets so heavy
The water gets so heavy
The water's heavy when you drown
You won't even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown
You'll never even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown
The lyrics to Off.Date's song Sound describe the uncertain and dangerous situation of being lost at sea, not knowing if one will make it back to shore. The opening lines express that hope is all they have, indicating that the situation is already dire. The mention of water all around and the possibility of being washed away creates a sense of foreboding and danger, which is reinforced by the lines about drowning. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "you won't even make a sound" emphasizes the sudden and difficult nature of drowning, and how little control one has when faced with such a situation. The repetition in the chorus highlights the descending feeling of being pulled down by the water.
The verses depict the loneliness and sense of isolation that comes with being lost at sea, with the singer losing track of time and feeling as if they are drifting aimlessly. However, there is also a sense of choice in their fate, as some may choose to actively seek out a way to survive while others may surrender to the ocean tides. The final lines, "the water gets so heavy," emphasize the crushing weight of water on the body and the mental toll of facing such a traumatic experience. Overall, Sound is a haunting portrayal of the potential dangers of being lost at sea and the overwhelming feeling of helplessness that comes with it.
