Iceberg Lyrics – Sam Fischer

[Verse 1: Sam Fischer]
In this verse, Sam Fischer reflects on his restless state of mind and his tendency to overthink. The image of having conversations with the walls suggests a sense of isolation and an inability to escape his own thoughts. The verse sets up the theme of internal struggle and the difficulty in finding peace amidst self-imposed turmoil.

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Fischer]
Here, Fischer describes a conversation with his own thoughts, which are urging him to calm down. The pre-chorus suggests that while he has achieved some of his goals, his own mind is preventing him from enjoying his success. The inner conflict and heightened anxiety are evident as he struggles to manage his overwhelming emotions.

[Chorus: Sam Fischer]
The chorus uses the iceberg metaphor to convey a sense of being at a critical point where things are bound to worsen. The imagery of being the "only man on the island" and the mention of being "on fire" suggest feelings of isolation and self-destruction. The repetitive assertion that it’s "only going down" underscores the inevitability of facing more challenges and emotional decline.

[Verse 2: Sam Fischer]
In this verse, Fischer contrasts his current emotional state with memories of the past, specifically referencing his mother's influence and a sense of lost stability. The verse reflects on how past comfort and support contrast sharply with his present struggles. It reveals a longing for the emotional grounding he once had.

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Fischer]
The second pre-chorus mirrors the first, reiterating the internal struggle and the advice he imagines from his mother. It emphasizes the ongoing internal conflict and the difficulty in finding solace or resolution despite outward success.

[Chorus: Sam Fischer]
The chorus is repeated to reinforce the feeling of being at the edge of a breakdown, with the iceberg metaphor highlighting the depth of Fischer's emotional issues. The repetition of being "on fire" and the sense of unavoidable decline emphasize the persistent and escalating nature of his struggles.

[Post-Chorus: Sam Fischer]
In the post-chorus, Fischer repeats the idea of things "only going down," underscoring his sense of inevitability and despair. The repetition intensifies the feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed by his own emotions.

[Outro: Sam Fischer]
The outro restates the metaphor of being at the "tip of the iceberg," summing up the overall theme of the song. It reinforces the notion of being at a critical point with no clear way forward, encapsulating the emotional climax of the track.
