Lyrics · artist-supplied
Oceans reach ashore
And pull us down
The deadly and blue
What remains of our god?
Who put us on
The deadly and blue?
They left us here so unprepared
Then left without a care
Or will to continue again
All our comforts are thrown
To the endless unknown
The deadly blue
Oceans reach ashore
And pull us down
The deadly and blue
What remains of our god?
Who put us on
The deadly and blue?
The deadly and blue
The deadly and bluе
Working interpretation · analysis
Interpretation note: This section is analysis/inference, not an authoritative statement of authorial intent unless the Artist Context above says otherwise.
The strongest structural reading is that “Deadly Blue” represents the “Sea” portion of the release: something visually beautiful and vast that is also indifferent and dangerous. The adjective “deadly” prevents the blue from becoming passive scenery.
