She Crushed Me Like the Hadopelagic Zone
[Intro] [Long Intro] [Intro] “They say the ocean has layers... Worlds stacked on top of worlds... Each one darker than the last... Each one with its own rules for survival... I thought I understood the surface... I had no idea how deep we could go.” [Verse 1] We met beneath the sunlight Where the water's warm and clear A place where every shadow Had no reason to appear We were floating on forever With the whole world in our hands Never thought a little current Could pull us from the land They call it the epipelagic Where the living things begin Where the light still reaches down below And everything can still pretend But every ocean has a bottom Every story has a cost You don't notice you're descending Until you realize you're lost [Chorus] She crushed me like the hadopelagic zone Like a thousand atmospheres of stone I kept saying I could take it I kept saying I was strong But the deeper that we traveled The harder I was holding on She crushed me like the hadopelagic zone Where the sunlight never goes I went looking for the surface But I forgot the way back home [Verse 2] Then we entered the twilight Where the colors disappear Where you can't tell what is coming And you can't trust what you hear Little cracks became canyons Little storms became the sea Every word became a pressure wave That kept sinking into me The mesopelagic darkness Was the first place we could tell That the things that once surrounded us Were disappearing as we fell Then came the midnight waters Where the strangest creatures hide Where everything that lives down there Has learned to compromise [Bridge] The scientists say the pressure rises With every meter that you fall Some things bend and some things break Some things don't survive at all I studied creatures of the deep Searching for a sign Trying to understand the place Where you had taken me this time The abyssal world was silent The hadal world was cold And I finally saw the truth of it... Some things aren't meant to hold. [Long Solo] [Verse 3] At the bottom of the ocean There are creatures still alive Tiny hearts that beat in darkness Just to prove they can survive They don't know about the surface They don't dream about the sun They just adapt to their surroundings Until the damage has been done Maybe we were just like them Two souls beneath the waves Changing every part of ourselves Just to stay another day But the deeper that we traveled The less that we remained Until I couldn't tell the difference Between love and the pain [Chorus] She crushed me like the hadopelagic zone Like a world I couldn't call my own Thirty-six thousand feet below Where even mountains disappear I searched for something living I searched for something real But the pressure kept increasing And the darkness wouldn't heal She crushed me like the hadopelagic zone And now I finally know... The ocean doesn't hate you The ocean doesn't care It just keeps getting deeper Until nothing can survive there [Outro] I thought I could reach the bottom... I thought I could make it through... But there are places in the ocean... Where even love can't go. [Pause | reflective final vocal] Nobody survives this depth. [Outro] [End] [End Song] [End,End,End] [End Now] [NO MORE SONG | END PLEASE] [Instruments Stop] [Silence] [Definitive end to song] [End]
