But I can't seem to shake this no I can't seem to break through
The rivers we've been making, the oceans that we've cried
All our boats are sinking we're going down tonight
Your tears on me, my tears on you
No we're not waterproof oh I'm drowning fast, you're drowning too
No we're not waterproof
Cause every night those waves are only pushing higher
Your tears on me, my tears on you
No we're not waterproof
I feel it on your body I feel it on your skin
The rain is coming down and the pressure sinking in
It's like we're living in a shit storm that's pushing you away
I'm trying to pull you closer but I'm chocking on the pain
Your tears on me, my tears on you
No we're not waterproof oh I'm drowning fast, you're drowning too
No we're not waterproof
You say we're okay you're a motherfucking liar
Cause every night those waves are only pushing higher
Your tears on me, my tears on you
No we're not waterproof
Not waterproof
Not waterproof
Not waterproof
No we're not waterproof
Am I overthinking? Are we over, finished now?
Is this boat sinking? Is this boat going down?
Your tears on me, my tears on you
No we're not waterproof oh I'm drowning fast, you're drowning too
No we're not waterproof
You say we're okay you're a motherfucking liar
Cause every night those waves are only pushing higher
Your tears on me, my tears on you
No we're not waterproof
We're Not waterproof
We're Not waterproof
No we're Not waterproof
No we're not waterproof
In "Waterproof," Maryne expresses the emotional pain and turmoil of a failing relationship. The opening verses create a strong image of two people caught in a storm, with their clothes soaked through (presumably with rain and tears). The singer is trying to move on, but they can't seem to forget their partner, even though the relationship is sinking rapidly. The idea of water as a metaphor for emotion is reinforced throughout the song, as the "rivers we've been making" and "oceans that we've cried" are alluded to, creating a sense of overwhelming sadness.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the two people in the relationship are not "waterproof" - they can't resist the tears and emotions that are threatening to engulf them. Despite the singer's attempts to stay afloat, there's a sense of hopelessness in the repetition of "not waterproof." The bridge questions whether the relationship is even worth saving or whether it's time to let it sink. Ultimately, it's a poignant expression of the pain of breakups - even when you know you need to move on, the emotions are hard to overcome.
