about

I got the idea to write a song that explored a process of change in an individual through the narrative lens of the four elements from astrology, and this is what ensued. The verses are water, earth, fire, and air, respectively.

lyrics

i'm in among deep water
i don't know if it shows
i'll roll around beneath the waves
i'm wearing all of my clothes
i can feel my heart beat
i don't know if i'm cold
i'll break things 'til the water flows
and then i'm goin home

i didn't care about that, didn't care about that

my eyes are looking here and there
i fell into a hole
i don't know which way's right or up but down, yeah, down i know
i can't lie here forever
i'd lie here if i could
if you asked me now i'd tell you that my brain is made of wood

i didn't care about that, didn't care about that

i'm trapped here, that is certain
though no walls hold me in
the flames are lapping closer now
all i can do is spin
i don't forget they're pretty
my eyes are open wide
if i shut them i'd see such a glow, i wouldn't know if i died

i didn't care about that, didn't care about that

i feel my body jerk about
and then i taste the wind
i see the world enlarging now
and i can't feel my limbs
everything's connected
and i can take it in
i let the sunlight kiss my face
i feel my life begin
