​​​​slow dive Lyrics – wave to earth

[Intro]
In the intro, Daniel Kim contemplates the fragmented state of his mind, describing it as pieces scattered and perhaps lost. The phrase "we never mind" suggests a resignation to this fragmented state, as if the hope of wholeness has long been abandoned. Yet, there’s a paradoxical transformation where these broken pieces turn him into light, although it’s a light that isn’t fully bright—implying that the process of healing or self-discovery is incomplete and tenuous.

[Chorus]
The chorus delves deeper into the aftermath of brokenness, where Daniel Kim seeks to understand the transformation that occurs after everything falls apart. The imagery of the sky and ocean trading shades signifies a profound change, a moment where the natural world mirrors the internal shifts within the singer. The term "slow dive" captures the essence of slowly sinking into this changed reality, where time seems to stretch and moments of clarity shine, albeit briefly. The repeated reference to "pieces" and the inability to "glue" them back together reflects the singer’s struggle to reconcile his fragmented self, yet he finds a strange comfort in this slow, deliberate process.

[Instrumental Break]
The instrumental break serves as a moment of reflection, where the absence of lyrics allows the listener to immerse in the emotions conveyed through the music. The soothing, yet melancholic tones reinforce the themes of introspection and the slow journey toward understanding and acceptance.

[Chorus]
In the repeated chorus, the themes of brokenness and transformation are revisited, emphasizing the cyclical nature of these experiences. The singer again reflects on his inability to piece himself together, yet the slow process of shining for a while offers a fleeting sense of peace. The repetition of these lines underscores the internal struggle and the continuous effort to find meaning and stability in a world that feels fragmented and uncertain. The desire to "stay forever here" suggests a longing to hold on to these brief moments of clarity and calm, even as they slowly fade away.
