Under the Waves

‘Under the Waves’ by Pendulum is an alternative track from the album ‘Immersion’, released in 2010. The lyrics place a narrator in a suffocating, waterlogged state, describing stillness, bitter visions, torment and silence, with dreams kept at a distance. “Silence is killing me” captures the sense of drowning in feeling, as the speaker struggles to touch the ground while waves roll overhead and calls for help with their spirit. The final lines suggest a surrender to being deep in the river, trapped beneath the surface.
