A reflection of feeling, a pointed look at how depression warps one senses to see danger all around. To feel as if the very world you are in is transpiring against you. In the lyrics, there are subtle undercurrents of light, as the very fact I can’t see, but have seen prior to this song, is testament to the fact I may be able to see again.
lyrics
drowning drowning
drowning (throughout)
the sun it is scathing my soul
the heat it is turning me cold
the sharks swim around my moat
man a can't see
can't swim
can't float
poured in too deep im drowning
submerged in sea im drowning
abyss captured me im drowning
death death dey came for me
man a be submerged in sea
eye looking but cannot see
death death dey came for me
man a be submerged in sea
eye looking but cannot see
i can't see
i can't see
drowning drowning
drowning

I'm a bit anoid with my silf that I only just found this fantastic album yesterday, but also chuffed to fuck that I have at all. Love it so much what a wining collaboration 👊🔥🔥 Toblermone
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
