Before The Dive
St. Lucia Lyrics

Never found an answer, never found a reason
Despite the lack of answers or reasons, life goes on and events can't be undone.

There was no talk back, 'cause you could never take back
Once words have been spoken, they can't be unsaid or taken back.

Different conversation, little adulation
The conversation was unremarkable, and there was no praise or admiration exchanged.

Took you to the bath-house, we waited at the entrance
An unknown person was taken to a bath-house while the artist and others waited outside.

I hope that we will never forget Seeing sinners of the night I hope that we will never regret Seeing sinners of the night 'Cause we can not, we can't ever No we can not, take it back No
The artist hopes that they won't forget or regret having seen the dark side of life, but acknowledges that those experiences can't be undone.

I walk into the bedroom, waiting for the master
The singer enters a bedroom and waits for someone they refer to as 'the master'.

It's simple understanding, I talk you understand me Oh I wait till its over, when will it be over
Communication is straightforward and the singer waits patiently until the situation resolves itself.

Now here we are Another voice from the afterlife Who are we now? We know we're alive
The artist and others are still alive despite having experienced difficult situations, and they're questioning what their identities are in light of those experiences.

We call you out To discover why we were left behind The sun creates a different escape while we're still alive
The artist is calling out to someone (possibly a god or higher power) to understand why they were left behind, while the world still offers opportunities for escape or change.

Now we'll go, And know the answers are with us now Console yourself, we already cried Do we know too much? Are these pieces meant to be side by side? I held my breath, you close your eyes, before the dive
The group is ready to move forward and face whatever comes next, feeling that they have the answers they need. They wonder if they have too much knowledge, and if that knowledge is meant to be put together in a certain way. The final line refers to an impending challenge or change, with the artist holding their breath and someone else closing their eyes before it happens.
