[Verse 1] He walks with the silence, the water at his knees, Every step forward drags him out to sea. Shadows circle deeper, where the lost ones go, And he’s pulled down again in the undertow. [Pre-Chorus – Whispered Echo] It pulls him quiet, it pulls him slow… No one can follow where he must go. [Chorus – Explosive, Stacked Harmonies] THE UNDERTOE, IT OWNS HIS BONES!!! Dragging him down where the dark things grow… He won’t resist, he won’t let go, He disappears in the undertow. [Drop – Festival Leads + Trap Hi-Hats + Vocal Chop Echoes] *(Hook echoes: “Undertow… undertow… undertow…”) [Verse 2 – Half-Rap / Flowing Storytelling] He trades his breath for another mistake, Every wave he fights is a wave that breaks. The ghost of a memory won’t set him free, It drags him below, but it feels like peace. [Pre-Chorus – Soft, Intimate] It pulls him quiet, it pulls him slow… No one can save him, no one will know. [Chorus – Raspy + Falsetto Runs] THE UNDERTOE, IT OWNS HIS SKIN!!! Twisting his scars where the dark begins… If gravity hurts, he still lets it grow, Forever alive in the undertow. [Bridge – Minimal Pads + Whispered Ad-libs] Pull him down… deeper now… If he drowns in you, don’t pull him out. (echo) Undertow… undertow… [Final Chorus – Explosive + Falsetto Runs] THE UNDERTOE, IT DRAGS HIM DEEP!!! He surrenders his soul, he surrenders his sleep… If love is the tide, he won’t let go, He’s born again in the undertow. [Outro – Cinematic Piano + Slide Guitar Fade] The deeper he falls… the more that they know… He was never the same in the undertow.
