about

Watery Grave is the second last and most stylized song off the Jungle EP. The track plays off the previous theme of “All I Need”, where, when crossing the sea to a better place, the love the character thought he knew, turns out to be menacing and hurtful. The song portrays this twist of love with the story of a Sailor and a Mermaid; a person who is addicted to loving someone who keeps hurting them. The track culminates with a violent realization that the Mariner had been led too far out to sea. The woman he thought he knew had lured him to his Watery Grave.

lyrics

There's a superstition in the men who roam the sea
A woman swimmin' in my dreams
Her curves are the waves of lust in me

The curves of the waves remind me
Yeah yeah

Girl I know the way that you move
And we all know the danger
I'll take what you will give to me when
The ocean calls for me and you

Oh baby girl
I will reach your shore
Down low there's a watery grave for me
I should have known you'd show me more

The curves of the waves remind me
Yeah yeah

Girl I know the way that you move
And we all know the danger
I'll take what you will give to me
When the ocean calls to me and you

Girl I know the way that you move
And we all know the danger
I'll take what you will give to me
When the ocean calls to me and you

The ocean calls for me and you
The ocean calls
