Dive
Sophie Moleta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a swimming pool
And it's up on the sixth floor of this hotel
And I have come to find you
Tonight to ask you tonight
Do you want to dive ?
And I do not ask this lightly
Please do not take me lightly
Please do not intellectualize me
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
And I don't wanna take anything
And I don't want some time wasting cheap thrill experiment
And I know this may not last more than three hours we have before
We have to drive we have to leave this sea this city
This beautiful part of the world
But I lose absolutely all control
Every time I look at you every time
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me
I wanna dive in tonight
I wanna dive in
I wanna dive in
And there is a sea behind the wall
It's like a swimming pool
And it's up on the sixth floor of this hotel
And I have come to find you
Tonight to ask you tonight
Do you want to dive ?
Do you want to dive ?
The lyrics of Sophie Moleta's song "Dive in" paint a picture of two people coming together in a moment of intense passion and desire. The singer describes a sea behind a wall on the sixth floor of a hotel that is like a swimming pool. She has come to find her partner and asks if they want to dive in with her. She states that she doesn't care about the theory of love and asks not to be intellectualized. She just wants to cut through, go there with her partner, and see both of them.
The singer is aware that the moment may be fleeting and that they have to leave soon after their time together, but she notes that she loses all control every time she looks at her partner. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes her desire to dive in with her partner, see themselves and each other, and cut through to the essence of the moment.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desire to connect with another person on a deep and visceral level. The use of water imagery, such as the sea and the swimming pool, evokes a sense of fluidity and movement, perhaps symbolizing the fluidity of emotions and passion.
