R.E.M. - Undertow [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I know what I wanted
I know what I wanted
I know how I wanted this to be
You go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Walk up off the water, leave it be

[Chorus]
This is not my dream sister
It is cold in heaven and I'm not sprouting wings
I'm drowning me
I'm drowning me, yeah

[Verse 2]
Brother can you see those birds?
They don't look to heaven
They don't need religion they can see
They go down to the water
Drink down on the water
Fly up off the water, leave it be

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You know I am tired
Cold and bony tired
Nothing's going to save me, I can see
I can't say I'm fearful, I can't say I'm not afraid
But I am not resisting, I can see
I don't need a heaven, I don't need religion
I am in the place where I should be

[Outro]
I am breathing water, I am breathing water
You know a body's got to breathe
I'm drowning (breathing ourselves) me (breathing ourselves)[x3]
