3 Degrees South
Ziggy Alberts Lyrics

I hit rock bottom and I held onto the coffee rock
I reached a point of extreme low and desperation, and I clung onto anything that could provide support, even if it was a simple rock on the ocean floor

Just hoping there was something in this current
I was searching for anything amidst the chaos to provide relief and guide me to a better place, even if it was a small glimmer of hope

That would take away all of these thoughts above
I was trying to escape my negative thoughts that were weighing heavily on me, and hoping to find something to relieve me of that burden

Sometimes it feels like I'm back at square one
Despite my efforts to move forward, I still feel stuck and like I'm not making any progress, as if I'm starting from the beginning

I'm three degrees south from where I once was
I've drifted away from where I used to be, both physically and in my emotional state, feeling off course and lost

I need to get lost, in ways I haven't before
I long for a new experience that can help me escape my current situation and take me to a place of discovery and freedom

Do you believe in me the ways I believe in you
I'm questioning if you have the same level of trust and faith in me as I do in you, wondering if our connection is truly mutual

And is it just hope that leads us through the night when it's darkness
I'm contemplating if hope is enough to guide us during our darkest moments, and if we need something more substantial to overcome our struggles

And there isn't any light from the moon
Our situation may feel hopeless and bleak, as if even the light of the moon is not enough to illuminate our path forward

Is it these tides that draw us back closer to shore
Perhaps it's the pull of the ocean tides that's bringing us back to a place of safety and stability, urging us to come back to what we know

Or is it the sea that lifts us all up, all up, all up
It's possible that the ocean offers us a chance to rise above our problems and challenges, lifting us up to a place of clarity and renewal

In the weight of it all, darling when I'm sinking down
Even when I'm weighed down by despair and struggling to keep afloat, it's in these times that I need you most

I dove down you followed me one breath each, it was enough
We took a risk together, diving into the unknown depths of the ocean, but we trusted each other and found solace in each other's presence

To understand the urgency, stop fracking for this CSG
We recognize the importance of taking action to protect our environment, specifically by preventing coal seam gas mining through fracking

We need clean water right here and above
We understand the crucial need for clean and safe water, both for ourselves and for the planet as a whole

When I come up, I get so lost in loving you
After a risky endeavor, I'm filled with gratitude and love towards you, and become lost in those emotions

I find devotion in where we are and who we are now
Despite the difficulties we face, I'm devoted to our current situation and our identity as a couple, recognizing the strength we have together

My fingertips a soft touch against yours
Our connection is gentle and intimate, with a deep physical and emotional closeness

My lips drawn to kissing you like the seas to the shore
My attraction towards you is magnetic, and I'm drawn to express my love physically, like the natural pull of the ocean towards the shore

Darling when I'm sinking down
In times of distress and struggle, I need you by my side, serving as my anchor and providing a sense of safety and stability
