Cold, dark sea
Wrapping its arms around me,
Pulling me down to the deep.
All eyes on me.

I pushed you away
Although I wished you could stay.
So many words left unsaid,
But I'm all out of breathe.

So, go, go, go,
Get out of here.
Go away,
Get out of here.

Go, go,
Get out of here.
Go away,
Get out of here.

Cold, dark sea,
Your waves are rocking me.
I close my eyes and fall asleep.
All eyes on me,
Your eyes on me.

    My Interpretation:To me this song is about a girl who is suffering from depression, which is the the metaphor for the 'cold, dark sea' and someone is trying to help them but they're are pushing them away, even though she really wants them to stay and help.
    In the end she falls asleep, maybe into a deeper state of depression, and she can feel everyone watching her, especially those of the person who was trying to help her.
