Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
I salute at the threshold of the north sea of my mind
And i nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide
And i swim, i swim, oh swim
Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs
The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs
And if i hadn’t come now to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears
[Chorus]
So i swim until you can’t see land
Swim until you can’t see land
Swim until you can’t see land
Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
Swim until you can’t see land
Swim until you can’t see land
Swim until you can’t see land
Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
[Verse 2]
Up to my knees now
Do i wade? Do i dive?
The sea has seen my like before, though it’s my first and perhaps last time
Let’s call me a baptist, call this a drowning of the past
She is there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
And the water is taller than me
And the land is a marker line
All i have is a body adrift in water, salt and sky
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Swim until you can’t see land [x3]
Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?[x9]
