Deep Waters- Sean John (Lyrics)

Song: "Deep Waters"

*(Music begins with sparse, echoing piano notes and a low, atmospheric synth hum. The tempo is slow, deliberate, like a heartbeat in the dark.)*

Verse 1
The surface shimmers, diamond-bright
A perfect mirror for the light
I skim the top, I ride the breeze
Where everything is what it seems
But in the corner of my eye
A darker blue, a deeper sigh
A whisper from the undertow
Of secrets that the sun don't know

Pre-Chorus
And the tide pulls at my feet
A silent, slow, repeating beat
"Come and see what you can hold..."
It turns my warmth to winter cold

Chorus
Oh, Deep Waters, what you keep
In the silence, in the sleep
Where the pressure makes the dark
A cathedral for the shark
All my wrecks are resting there
Every ghost, each blank despair
I can feel you in my veins
A quiet, vast, and pouring rain
Deep Waters… calling me.

Verse 2
I drop a stone to mark the place
It falls for years through empty space
No echo comes to tell the sound
Of where it finally hits the ground
Is that my faith, or is it fear?
Sinking slowly, crystal-clear
A monument to things I’ve thrown
Into the deep, and left alone

Pre-Chorus
And the current charts a course
To the unremembered source
Where the nameless creatures drift
On a monumental gift…

*(Chorus)*
*Oh, Deep Waters, what you keep*
*In the silence, in the sleep*
*Where the pressure makes the dark*
*A cathedral for the shark*
*All my wrecks are resting there*
*Every ghost, each blank despair*
*I can feel you in my veins*
*A quiet, vast, and pouring rain*
*Deep Waters… calling me.*

*(Bridge)*
*(Music swells, strings enter, more urgent)*
Maybe light is just a lie
A temporary thing, sky-high
Maybe truth is in the plunge
The losing of the breath, the lunge
Past the point of no return
Where cold indifference makes you learn…
That the deep and you are one
The journey and the destination done...

Instrumental Break
A minute of building, immersive soundscape. The melody from the chorus is played by a lonely cello, then echoed by distorted guitar. It peaks with a cascade of sound, then suddenly drops away, leaving only the deep synth hum and a few piano notes.

Final Chorus - Softer, more resigned, almost a lullaby
So, Deep Waters, take your keep
Wrap my secrets in your sleep
Let your pressure be my art
Build a compass in my heart
All my wrecks will rest with you
Til they’re polished something new
We are echoes in the same
Unforgiving, blessed domain
Deep Waters… I am free.

Outro
Voice is a near-whisper, piano fades note by note
The surface is a memory…
A photograph of what I seem…
I am where the light has failed…
In the deep… where I am… hailed…
