Undertow

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I must follow
These movements wherever they go
I must follow
These movements wherever they go
I'm caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow

I've been trying

So hard, I've been out here so long
I've been trying
So hard, I've been swimming so long
I'm caught in your undertow
I'm caught in your undertow

Take me out to sea
Away from you and me
Let me float
Lead me out to sea
Let me go
Let me rise towards the sky
Let me take in this light
Let the shore disappear from sight
I'm caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow

I'm so tired
I must get up for air
But I can't find it
What's up or what's down out here
I'm caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow

Take me out to sea
Away from you and me
Let me float
Lead me out to sea
Let me go
Let me rise towards the sky
Let me take in this light
Let the shore disappear from sight
I'm caught in your undertow
I'm caught in your undertow
Undertow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Undertow" by Brun Ane talk about the feeling of being stuck in a situation or relationship with no clear way out. The singer has been trying so hard to break free but feels caught in the other person's undertow, being pulled under and unable to escape. The repetition of "I must follow these movements wherever they go" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and unable to resist the other person's influence.

The verse "Take me out to sea, away from you and me, let me float" is a plea to be released from this struggle and be allowed to move on. The singer wants to be free from the other person's grasp and the constant struggle in their relationship. The desire to "let the shore disappear from sight" represents a longing to leave behind the past and start anew. However, the repetition of "caught in your undertow" at the end of each verse shows the singer is still trapped and struggling to break free.

Overall, the lyrics to "Undertow" convey a sense of being stuck in a situation without any clear way out, and the struggle to break free and start anew.

Line by Line Meaning

I must follow
I feel compelled to accompany you

These movements wherever they go
In all your endeavors, I am committed to follow

I'm caught in your undertow
I'm being dragged along by your force

I've been trying
I've been putting in so much effort

So hard, I've been out here so long
I've persevered for a long time with great intensity

I've been swimming so long
I've been trying to stay afloat for a very long time

Take me out to sea
Take me away from you

Away from you and me
Let's separate, you and I

Let me float
Allow me to be buoyant and free from worries

Lead me out to sea
Be my guide, and let me have an adventure

Let me go
Let me be released from your hold

Let me rise towards the sky
Let me achieve my dreams and aspire for greatness

Let me take in this light
Let me be illuminated by all the opportunities and blessings around me

Let the shore disappear from sight
Let me forget about what's familiar and embark on a new journey

I'm so tired
I'm exhausted and drained

I must get up for air
I need to breath and take a break from this situation

But I can't find it
I'm having trouble finding relief from this pressure

What's up or what's down out here
I'm disoriented and confused in this turbulent environment

Undertow
The strong current that's pulling me deeper into this situation

Whenever I listen to this music, it fills me with a big sadness and at the same time with a huge happiness, because it always reminds me my beautiful love with a girl who went from me without any explanation, but my feeling stays eternal for her. Love you Ane Brun for this amazing song <3

This lady's work makes me feel I'm on a musical journey. After years of sitting kerbside, going nowhere.

Me and my bandmate were just sharing songs that make us emotional, and this was top on my list. The musical layering she has used to fill the canvas of frequencies is astonishingly subtle and sublime. I notice more each time I listen. Truly great art. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making this. Xx

YOU owe Ane a ''thank you'' for making such beautiful music. Music is not about how many listen to it, but how many understand it.

Obvious, clichéd even but I simply don't know how else to say it: thank goodness for Ane Brun. Artist. She has long since slipped the mantle of mere musician. Ane, more than anyone else I can think of in these times of mediocrity and copy-paste 'songs' for the next warm body with a cute face to sing it, deserves the title of 'artist'. Ok. I have managed to catch myself. This time. I will spare you my gushing and somewhat flowery adoration. Simplement merci, Ane.

I first came across Ane Brun when I was looking for a soundtrack for a short video I'd produced - after I heard this song I instantly forgot about my video,.Ane had expressed everything I had wanted to say, way beyond what I could have accomplished.
