Underwater Breathtaking (feat. Edu Imbernon)

Mordem's 'Underwater Breathtaking (feat. Edu Imbernon)' is a haunting exploration of emotional turmoil and the process of letting go. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels submerged by their emotions, as if they are drowning. The opening lines, 'This is how you did it / Enough to sink me far down here,' suggest a betrayal or a significant emotional blow that has left the narrator feeling overwhelmed and submerged in their sorrow.

The chorus, 'Should now be your devotion / For drowning my emotions,' indicates a sense of blame directed towards another person, possibly a former lover or a close confidant. This person is held responsible for the narrator's current state of emotional drowning. The use of water as a metaphor for emotions is powerful, as it conveys the idea of being engulfed and unable to breathe, highlighting the suffocating nature of intense feelings.

As the song progresses, the narrator expresses a desire to forget and move on: 'Now I’ll forget the things I see / I’ll forget the thrills I feel.' This suggests a coping mechanism, where the narrator attempts to numb themselves to the pain by diving deeper into their emotional abyss. The repetition of 'I’ll dive, I’ll dive, and I fall – I fall' emphasizes the continuous struggle and the cyclical nature of their emotional descent. The collaboration with Edu Imbernon adds a layer of electronic ambiance that complements the song's melancholic tone, making it a poignant reflection on the complexities of human emotions and the journey towards healing.
