Sinking Man Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nanna & Ragnar]
Cold dark sea
Wrapping its arms around me
Pulling me down to the deep
All eyes on me

[Verse 2: Nanna & Ragnar]
I push you away
Although I wished you could stay
So many words left unsaid
But I'm all out of breath

[Bridge: Nanna & Ragnar]
So go, go, go, get out of here
Go away, get out of here
Go, go, get out of here
Go away, get out of here
Go, go, get out of here
Go away, get out of here
Go, go, get out of here
Go away

[Verse 3: Nanna & Ragnar]
Cold dark sea
Your waves are rocking me
I close my eyes and fall asleep
All eyes on me, your eyes on me

About

“Sinking Man” is an acoustic song that was originally a hidden track in the Icelandic edition of My Head Is An Animal, Of Monsters and Men’s debut record; it started around the 13 minute mark in “Yellow Light.” Eventually, the song would be released as part of the The Walking Dead: AMC Original Soundtrack, Vol. 1, gaining its own lyric video. As of 2021, it was released as a separate track in the 10th anniversary edition of My Head Is An Animal, still after “Yellow Light”, but no longer closing the album.

Lirically, “Sinking Man” is often seen as a prelude to “We Sink”, the closing track from Of Monsters and Men’s sophomore album, released four year later. Both songs share similar motifs in their lyrics, as seen in the vey first verse of “We Sink”:
