The use and the balance of contradictions are an important trademark of Seabound. The songs range from cold, synthetic, sometimes harsh sounds to catchy, sometimes fragile melodies, merging day and night.
The lyrics deal with obsession, devotion, doubts, anger and fear. Yet there is always an underlying craving for fulfillment in the songs, a quest for love. Seabound combine vulnerability with anger, fantasies of power with fear. An ubiquitous theme of their songs is the challenge of confronting your deepest and most personal desires.
Their music is personal and honest, but blended with a lot of fantasy. They offer very personal insights into the psyche and they would like to take you on a strange emotional journey.
They also sing about the sea and boat-related things.

Seabound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just hurt someone you cared for
You and I
Separate lives I know
Still I spy
Though I know that it is over
Nevermind
This is how it's going to feel
Change your mind
Act unpredictable
It's effective
Believe me, I
Took control
Felt the power
Enjoyed the pain
Pandorus
Nevermind
I just hurt someone I cared for
You and I
Forever lost
When the hurting starts
When the feeling stops, we die
Yet summer comes
No matter what I say
When the hurting starts
When the feeling stops, we die
Will you care for me?
Soul diver, trading life for identity
Nevermind
You and I
Believe me...
Believe me...
The lyrics of Seabound's song "Soul Diver" deal with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The first verse talks about the pain that comes with hurting someone you once cared for and the separation that follows. The chorus, "When the hurting starts, when the feeling stops, we die," speaks to the inescapable agony of heartbreak and the way it can feel like the end of the world. However, the singer also acknowledges the inevitability of moving on, as summer comes regardless of how they feel.
In the second verse, the singer takes a different approach, advocating for intentionally acting unpredictable to gain power in a relationship. The line "enjoyed the pain" suggests that this power dynamic may not have been entirely healthy, which is reinforced by the reference to "Pandorus," a figure from Greek mythology who was punished for his love of deceit. The final lines of the song, "Soul diver, trading life for identity," suggest a willingness to make drastic changes in order to escape the pain of lost love, even at the cost of one's own sense of self.
Overall, "Soul Diver" is a meditation on the intense emotions that come with a breakup and the desperate desire to find a way to move forward.

When the pain begins
