The song 'Head Above Water' by Avril Lavigne reflects themes of struggle, strength, and faith in the face of challenging circumstances. The lyrics convey a sense of being overwhelmed by difficulties, yet seeking the strength to overcome them and keep moving forward. The song's central message is one of resilience and the determination to stay afloat amidst adversity.
I gotta keep the calm before the storm I don't want less, I don't want more Must bar the windows and the doors To keep me safe, to keep me warm
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore And my voice becomes the driving force I won't let this pull me overboard
God, keep my head above water Don't let me drown, it gets harder I'll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown, drown, drown Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
So pull me up from down below 'Cause I'm underneath the undertow Come dry me off and hold me close I need you now, I need you most
God, keep my head above water Don't let me drown, it gets harder I'll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown, drown, drown Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown Don't let me drown, drown, drown Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (Keep my head above water, above water)
And I can't see in the stormy weather I can't seem to keep it all together And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever And I can't breathe
God, keep my head above water I lose my breath at the bottom Come rescue me, I'll be waiting I'm too young to fall asleep
God, keep my head above water Don't let me drown, it gets harder I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown) Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown) Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown) And keep my head above water, above water
