Dive
Overdrive Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raped by the selflessness of man
Shadows enter as night falls
Light fades as happiness crawls
Dive into a sea of sorrow
Drowning, no end in sight tomorrow
Loneliness, all ties are broken
Pride in hope with arms wide open
Can you break me free?
Caged in no hope for me
Fire burns cross the lake
All hope is forsaken
Forsaken
Forsaken
Fire burns, the ashes smolder
Time grows short; our minds grow bolder
Dive into a sea of sorrow
Drowning, no end in sight tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
The lyrics to Overdrive Orchestra's "Dive" are filled with dark and melancholic imagery, depicting a world that seems to be falling apart. The opening lines "All of our times have come again / Raped by the selflessness of man" suggest that humanity has once again reached a crisis point due to the destructive nature of human behavior. As the shadows enter and the light fades, happiness seems to creep away, leaving us to drown in a sea of sorrow.
The chorus "Dive into a sea of sorrow / Drowning, no end in sight tomorrow" highlights the feeling of hopelessness and despair that pervades the song. The singer seems to be struggling to make sense of their circumstances, as they find themselves alone and isolated, with all ties to others broken. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope in the line "Pride in hope with arms wide open", suggesting that the singer is holding onto a sense of hope and determination to overcome their situation.
The final verse "Fire burns, the ashes smolder / Time grows short; our minds grow bolder" depicts a sense of urgency and impending doom, with the fire burning and time running out. Despite this, the chorus repeats, serving as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the challenges we face.
Overall, "Dive" is a powerful and emotive song that speaks to the struggles of the human condition, and our ability to endure and overcome even in the face of great adversity.

This is Berk. It’s twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word? Sturdy. And it’s been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes, we have…dragons.

Das ist Berk. Es liegt zwölf Tage nördlich von trostlos und ein paar Grad südlich von schweinekalt. Und mitten auf dem Längengrad der Langeweile.
Mein Dorf. Kurz gesagt: Stur.
Es existiert seit sieben Generationen, aber jedes einzelne Gebäude ist neu.
Hier kann man fischen, jagen und malerische Sonnenuntergänge genießen.
Das einzige Problem ist: Das Ungeziefer.
An den meisten Orten gibt es Mäuse, oder Mücken…
Bei uns gibt es…Drachen!

This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upside are the pets. You see, while most places have ponies or parrots… We have……. dragons

Das ist Berk. Wir haben neun Monate im Jahr Schnee und drei Monate Hagel.
Was hier wächst, ist zäh und hat keinen Geschmack. Das gilt vor allem für die Leute hier.
Der einzige Lichtblick sind die Haustiere!
Andere haben Ponys oder Papageien.
Wir haben… Drachen!
