Song Meaning of “Underwater – Original Edit” by Zany
“Underwater” is a song about grappling with the challenges of life while maintaining a sense of inner peace. Zany provides an ambient atmosphere intertwined with light-hearted electronic beats to convey a sense of calm while being trapped in a seemingly bleak situation. The chorus opens with “In a world so cold and broken, I’m still alive, still watching over” conveying a sense of determination to stay afloat while navigating life’s tumultuous waves.
The verses detail a journey of struggles, fear, and longing as the protagonist feels as if they are being submerged by their emotions. Zany sings the lyric “I’ll just pretend I’m sinking and hope to feel weightless” acknowledging the difficulty of relying on hope to keep from drowning in life’s chaos. The song is a reminder that no matter the difficulty and how far down one goes, there is always a way to come back from the deep waters of life.
