Surface and Depth (Tik Tok Version)
This song appears as dark as the cover, but in real it tells the everyday story of our all lifes. It's about the contradiction of different meanings and philosopies. The river on the album cover represents it perfectly: A calme flow on the surface and a mighty power in the depth. This is my Tik Tok version which is always different to the official version, you also can hear on Spotify or YouTube Music.
Lyrics are the same in both versions:
[Verse 1]
In the quiet of the night, we meet once again,
Surface seeks harmony, channeling zen,
Calm and collected, each word weighed and measured,
With a smile, I listen, no treasure’s not treasured.
But beneath the facade, where the shadows lie,
Depth sees the cracks, and the frail can’t deny,
Halves of the truth won’t cut through the haze,
It’s the fire and fury that ignites our gaze.
[Chorus]
Knit together in a dance, oh can’t you see?
Surface wants peace, but depth longs to be free,
Gentle charm meets passionate fire,
It’s a tug-of-war, a heart’s desire.
Oh, the energy crackles, it’s brewing tonight,
Surface and depth, in this beautiful fight.
[Verse 2]
Surface glances over, with a diplomatic grace,
But depth chimes in, questioning every space,
“Are you truly sincere? Do you feel the pull?
Or just playing the game, making light of it all?”
The discussions grow heated, tensions run high,
While surface stands steady, with a soft, soothing sigh,
But depth breaks the silence, demanding it raw,
“Give me revelation; I’m fed up with the flaw.”
[Chorus]
Knit together in a dance, oh can’t you see?
Surface wants peace, but depth longs to be free,
Gentle charm meets passionate fire,
It’s a tug-of-war, a heart’s desire.
Oh, the energy crackles, it’s brewing tonight,
Surface and depth, in this beautiful fight.
[Bridge]
It's a chasm we walk, on a line so thin,
Surface whispers sweetly, but depth pulls me in,
Dimensions apart, yet we breathe as one,
Caught in the tension, come undone, come undone.
In the still of the dark, where the secrets swirl,
It’s a dance of shadows, a complex twirl.
[Verse 3]
Can’t ignore the electricity that vibrates our air,
While surface seeks balance, depth pulls at despair,
There's a crackling current, cannot be dismissed,
In the pulse of this struggle, we yearn for a tryst.
What’s behind the smile? What’s lurking so deep?
Surface stays guarded, while depth takes a leap.
With every question posed, the stakes rise high,
A fascinating saga, a melodious sly.
[Outro]
So here we are, in the contrasts we create,
Surface and depth, tangled by fate.
With light and shadows, we weave through the dark,
In this intricate dance, there’s always a spark.more
