about

This song continues the theme of female desire. There is a fire that burns deep within us - on the bottom of our oceans. I love contradictions and the contradiction of different elements is a very interesting one. There is fire, it is spread by the wind, but that, in my world, happens at the bottom of the ocean. There are all these powerful forces within us and in our psyche. It is also a song about not being broken and holding your head up high.

lyrics

it’s a journey to myself and im trying to get there first
it’s a journey through your eyes
and it’s really not my first
it’s just my heart that i should keep
i need a heart i do
what would i do without

chorus:
and i jump into oceans and dive down to the ground
and i burn like fire it’s the wind that spreads me round
and its fire at the bottom of the ocean
fire at the bottom of my heart

i need to recognise the pain to learn and i learn fast
i get back up again and hold my head up in thirst
i wanna know the shadows that hold me on the ground
i wanna know the clouds that are made of shadows doubt

chorus
it’s a will that has been broken
and a will to learn the truth
I should sing or I shouldn’t
who knows what I should do
I feel like rivers and nights rolled into one
I curse and I laugh, its just me that I got
