Swimming the same deep water as you is hard, and face pushed deep
Can t you see i try, and face pushed deep, pushing out before i sleep
Kiss me goodbye, pushing out before i sleep Water, and we shall be together
And in my eyes, and face pushed deep As, but i don t see
I will kiss you i will kiss you, but tightly hold up silently Same, so we shall be together
The strangest twist upon your lips, kiss me goodbye As, i will kiss you i will kiss you
reflections meet
It s lower now and slower now, and we shall be together Same, i will kiss you i will kiss you
can t you see i try
i will kiss you forever on nights like this
I will kiss you forever on nights like this, pushing out before i sleep
and disappear
And laughing, the ripples clear
swimming the same deep water as you is hard
And disappear, the very last thing before i go
reflections meet
Kiss me goodbye, bow your head and join with me, and laughing
the strangest twist upon your lips
Pushing out before i sleep, i will kiss you forever on nights like this
Pushing out before i sleep, the shallow drowned lose less than we, and we shall be together
Kiss me goodbye, and in my eyes
The strangest twist upon your lips, pushing out before i sleep, i will kiss you i will kiss you
kiss me goodbye
I will kiss you i will kiss you, it s lower now and slower now, and in my eyes
Swimming the same deep water as you is hard, the strangest twist upon your lips
I will kiss you forever on nights like this, but tightly hold up silently As, kiss me goodbye
but i don t see
And laughing, and we shall be together
It is really ultimately dangerous listening to this for the first time, for a 16 year old, death wish dreaming, ultra melancholic boy. I really can't believe I've survived The Cure, specifically this one, all along. Darker than the darkest dark. It's that dark.
This song!!!! Most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. The lyrics , his voice.....that deep melancholic feeling ....only The Cure can do that. Liked it as a teenage girl, I'm loving it as a woman. Thanks.
I did my first DMT trip while listening to this song...all I can say is that I'm no longer afraid of death ..I can't explain what I experienced but I can tell you that we are all connected to each other more than what you think..in a way we are in the same deep water ..together
How often did i feel the pain and wanted to end my life with this song......
Then again, i once stood at the cliffs near Swansea Wales listening to this and the mild wind blew in my face and i felt the entire beauty of life ....
Someone I know recently passed away. She and I were more acquaintances than friends, but I remember meeting her in my freshman year of high school back in 1990. Here was this angelic girl dressed all in black, quiet and reserved, but gentle and caring. I was instantly smitten and sought out music that she liked and started dressing similarly in hopes it would bring us closer in the future. While that never happened, I actually learned to appreciate bands like the Cure (before that I was more into metal than gothic music) and this whole album I'd play over and over on my cassette player. Every time I hear this song, I'll remember the girl that introduced me to the Cure. Rest in peace.
This whole album really gets down to the nitty gritty of life. Grief, loneliness, addiction and depression and how it feels to lose someone to suicide.
I don’t know that anybody else has explored these things ( which touch so many of us) in such a powerful way. And in such a hypnotic dreamy lost way that I have found it really helpful.
Joy and good times and happiness are very much part of life, but songs about these are two a penny. These songs songs on Disintegration gave me permission to feel sad and lost and heartbroken and to know that it was perfectly okay. I was not alone. I was floating in the depths but I was still being carried and the tide would bring me to shore.
