Undertow
Warpaint Lyrics

Your brown eyes are my blue skies.
Your presence illuminates my world, guiding me through the paths of life.

They light up the rivers that the birds fly over.
Your aura has a positive effect on the surroundings and everyone around you.

Better not to quench your thirst.
It's safer not to take risks that can potentially endanger you.

Better not to be the first one diving in,
It's better to refrain from being the first to take a chance, rather take a step back to analyze the situation.

Though you caught me and you know why
Even if I'm hesitant, I'm still drawn to you and you know the reason behind my reluctance.

You breathe in the deepest part of the water.
You have a great capability to adapt to difficult situations and handle them with ease.

What's the matter? You hurt yourself?
What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?

Open your eyes and there was someone else
When you examine your surroundings, you notice that something or someone else is on the scene.

Now I've got you in the undertow.
Now that you're in my grips, you're in a difficult situation that's hard to get out of.

Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Why are you holding me responsible for the problems that you're currently facing?

Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
You should learn from your own mistakes and not rely on someone else to guide you.

Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight.
I'm keeping my thoughts to myself and I'm not willing to share them with anyone else tonight.

Let tonight pass us by.
Perhaps it would be better if we just let this night pass without too much fuss.

Do you really want to be the one to fight?
Is it really necessary to initiate conflict or create a problem?

And I said "You're better not to light that fire.
I recommend that you avoid doing something that could lead to trouble.

It will take you to the darkest part of the weather."
It will lead you to face an unpleasant or difficult situation.

Nobody in my mind. Nobody in my mind.
I'm finding peace by not overthinking and having a clear mind.

I feel it in my heart tonight.
I have a strong emotional urge tonight.

I lay on the floor, pressing in my eyes.
I'm lying down and covering my eyes, perhaps to block out unwanted thoughts or feelings.

Seeing little lights.
Seeing small lights, perhaps as a result of pressing my eyes too hard or a metaphorical reference to seeing hope in the darkness.

Please light these decisions that only one could make.
I'm asking for guidance in making important decisions that only I can make.

I wanted to stay home but I went running running running running from the troubles
I would have preferred to stay home, but I felt compelled to escape from my problems.

Running running running running from the troubles
I'm continuously making an effort to escape from a difficult situation.

Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I'm exerting my control, and you're in a difficult and dangerous situation.

Running, running, running...
Continuously running away, trying to escape from the problem.
