From the recording Undersea

Lyrics

Lights go on in a million rooms
Screens wake up before the sun
We don't see the lines they use
Silent veins where data runs
Oceans deep, no signal bars
Pressure dark, electric calm
Every message, every star
Travels where the anchors are

You think it's wireless, floating free
But there's a pulse beneath the sea
Every word you send to me
Rides the current secretly

UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
We're closer than we'd like to be
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
You're one click away from me – HA!
Beneath the blue, beneath the waves
Fibre hearts we never praise
Holding worlds in glass so thin
We know where every word has been
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
We're closer than we'd like to be
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
You're one click away from me – YES!

Beneath the blue, no spotlight glow
But everything travelling along the flow
You might not see it, but it's true
I'm fully connected, just like you
Never take it all for granted, cannot be supplanted
No one moving or removing them, cos its like they are enchanted
Gotta be correctly ferried so that then they can be buried
Cos we don't want interference from an evil ad-ver-sary!

Ships move slow like surgeons' hands
Maps of cables, red and gold
Storms can snap what we don't plan
Depths don't care how brave or bold
Midnight crews and humming decks
Fix the break, restore the thread
While the world still scrolls and texts
Unaware of what they mend

No selfies, no parade
Just quiet work that doesn't fade
Every voice, every dream
Needs a line that holds the beam

UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
We're closer than we'd like to be
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
You're one click away from me – HA!

Latency and light speed, signals racing memory
From island nights to city days, through coral dark and tidal sway
Not magic, not pretend, just humans linking end to end
If any lines break we will repair, cos love still travels everywhere

Hands reach out, lines align
One small spark becomes a sign

UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
We're closer than we'd like to be
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
You're one click away from me – HA!
Beneath the blue, we're not alone
Every call finds its way home
Across the dark, across the deep
Promises we get to keep
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
We're closer than we'd like to be
UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
You're one click away from me – YES!

Beneath the blue, I feel you near
If there's no sea fog then the coast is clear
You don't see it, but it's true
The whole world's held…
By me and you

UNDER-UNDER-UNDER SEE!!
You're still right here, right next to me…..
