This song is inspired from a game I played for a while, Alice – Madness returns. I dreamt of one of the worlds one has to get through in the game that takes place underwater. My mind started playing with the thought of actually living underwater, in a parallel universe where it was possible. But the song is not only about the magic of a fantasy world, it also portrays the thought of escaping when life becomes difficult to handle.
Batoidea Sheets (Lyrics)
Hello I woke up again, I’m pretty surprised
As I’m floating in blue, scraping off seaweed from my arms
I raise my palmsSalty currents, my eyes are dry
When I’m underwater my tears can hideI’m squinting for light, I move my arms
The sand tickle my toes, I am lost in a world of stars
They shimmer and swirlI am drifting somewhere unknown
When I’m underwater my tears don’t showHey my friends of the sea, have you missed me
Perhaps I’ll just stick around, grow a pair of gills and sleep right here
Batoidea sheetsThe ocean sings me a lullaby
When I’m underwater my tears can hide
Salty currents, my eyes are dry
When I’m underwater my tears can hide
