Swim is all about keeping on going, its a delicate and deep song swirling round with those thoughts that swim around your head when everything is quiet. It is inspired by people, lots of different people, all of us. Just keep on going - Swim.
Swim
​
Why do you need their validation
Like an addiction to the game
To crave attention
Asphyxiation
Straggling all the remains of life out
That trust as it withers will sink and die now
Some build walls and battlements
To keep you at a safe distance
While missing out on the real things
That make a moment an instance
After all it's safer if no one gets close
You can keep the facade up
If no one knows
We're all drowning here
Treading water
Until it all disappears
That feeling of being dragged under
A mixture of regret and Surrender
Tell me can you feel it too
Tell me do you know what to do
Swim
Why do you need their affirmation
You wanna hear good girl
Get a gold star to display and
Personal celebration
While your own skin turns inside out
As the walls you built come crumbling down
Some wear a mask
A persona of someone else’s
Taking what they need
Like a pick n mix on the shelf
But it's safer here to pretend
Until there's someone else to mend
We're all drowning here
Treading water
Until it all disappears
That feeling of being dragged under
A mixture of regret and Surrender
Tell me can you feel it too
Tell me do you know what to do
Swim
