undertow

pain of salvation’ın başyapıtlarından biridir.. bünyeyi altüst eder.

pain of salvation’ın remedy lane albümünün tapılası parçası..

sözleri de şöyledir:

let me go
let me go
let me seek the answer that i need to know
let me find a way
let me walk away
through the undertow
please let me go

let me fly
let me fly
let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky
let me chase it all
break my wings and fall
probably survive
so let me fly
let me fly...

let me run
let me run
let me ride the crest of chance into the sun
you were always there
but you may lose me here
now love me if you dare
and let me run

i’m alive and i am true to my heart now - i am i,
but why must truth alwas make me die?

let me break!
let me bleed!
let me tear myself apart i need to breathe!
let me lose my way!
let me walk astray!
maybe to proceed...
just let me bleed!

let me drain!
let me die!
let me break the things i love i need to cry!
let me burn it all!
let me take my fall!
through the cleansing fire!
now let me die!
let me die...

let me out
let me fade into that pitch-black velvet night

ayni zamanda bu parcanin sozleri soyledir:

gone under two times.
i’ve been struck dumb by a voice that speaks from deep beneath the cold black water.
it’s twice as clear as heaven, and twice as loud as reason.
it’s deep and rich like silt on a riverbed and just as undisturbing.
the current’s mouth below me opens up around me. suggests and beckons all while swallowing.
it surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away.
but i’m so comfortable...
too comfortable.
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up you’re saturating me.
so how could i let this bring me back to my knees again again again under for the third time.
i’ve been baptized by your voice.
it screams from deep beneath the endless water. and it’s half as high as heavenand half as clear as reason.
it’s cold and and black like silt on the riverbed.
but i’m so comfortable.
far too comfortable.
why don’t you kill me, i’m weak and numb and insignificant, and i’m back on my knees.
lost in euphoria.
i’m back down.
i’m in the undertow.
i’m helpless and awake in the undertow.
i’ll die within your undertow.
it seems there’s no other way out of this undertow.
euphoria.
