about

The Bay es la primera canción de nuestro EP "Ultramar" (2019).

The Bay canta sobre la dificultad de nadar a contracorriente de las fuertes mareas que a veces nos sacuden y nos arrastran al oscuro e irrespirable fondo del mar. La protagonista trata de reaprender a respirar y a tomar las riendas de su identidad en conflicto, navegando en un mar confuso en el que no se reconoce.

lyrics

Friday morning in the North Coast
The sea was calm and inviting
Trapping me like a magnet
Singing like Ulysses’ sirens

And just as the myth follows
Your sound became blinding
Deafening my conscience
Turning it into nothingness

The bay became oppressive and I was drowning
The bay became oppressive and I was drowning
Over and over the sea was taking me back to the shore
Over and over the waves were taking me back to your door

Still floating with the tides
Still following your eyes
Your hands, your head, your beautiful scalp
Unable to sail and far from the land

Of assuredness and feet on the ground
Of my voice shouting clear and loud
In a reign where I have the crown

The bay became oppressive and I was drowning
The bay became oppressive and I was drowning
Over and over the sea was taking me back to the shore
Over and over the waves were taking me back to your door

But then I changed the plot
I grew gills, crossed the stream
Changed the colour of my skin
To an ocean blue where I now could swim
Breath, sink, like a submarine
Into depths of the unknown
Without fear to go on
