Under Ice | Kate Bush
There's something moving under
Under the ice, moving under ice
Through water, trying to get out of the cold water
"It's me."
Something, someone—help them
"It's me!"


Pretty Little Head | Eliza Rickman
Take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue
It's just a cog in the year of all my love
Well, take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue
It's just a cog in the year of all my love


Bitten | Patrick Wolf
Treasures buried soul-deep and crossed under crack
Now there's no voice, choice, or any road back
Black through the mountains, she turns her loosening ring
Guardian angel sings, "I think you've lost your wings,"
"But you're still yours."


Mermaid Blues | Tom McRae
And cool, low sun has blinded you for days
From horizon to horizon, can I dream this all away

But over the water, over the water, over the sea
There's you, shining bright in a sea of fools
Oh, I can sing you out of this, can shake your mermaids blues

Come with me, for alone I fear the tide
It's calling me and dragging me, and I think it's time


Vampire Smile | Kyla la Grange
Baby, you need to leave
Cause I'm getting drunk on your noble deeds
It doesn't matter that they don't get done
When I feel this cold, they're like the fucking sun

Baby, I need a friend
But I'm a vampire smile, you'll meet a sticky end


Sleep Alone | Bat For Lashes
You know my darling, I can't stand to sleep alone
No sweetheart in the dark to call my own
You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can groan
But the darkness is a stranger and I'm lonely, lonely, lonely, low


Familiar | Agnes Obel
And our love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep them in the dark on who we are
Gonna be the death of me
It's a danger
Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see


Home of the Whale | Massive Attack
Oh, my love, he works upon the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sail
While southwards he roams to the home of the whale


In the Sea | Ingrid Michaelson
No, no, don't rescue me
I like the salt water sting
It feels so good to feel
It feels so good just to feel something
In the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea


Swimming Home | Evanescence
Way down, all the way down
I will hear your voice, but I’ll no longer understand
(No one's really loved me)

I was looking to the sky
When I knew I’d be swimming home
And I cannot betray my kind
They are here—it’s my time

I’m sorry; nothing can hold me
I adore you still, but I hear them calling—
And nothing can hold me
