Lirieke
Sometimes my body seems so alien to me
– Soms lyk my liggaam vir my so vreemd
I quiet it down by watching TV
– Ek het dit stilgemaak deur TV TE kyk
Grow restless and grow hungry
– Word onrustig en word honger
As the water rises up around me
– Soos die water rondom my opkom
You come onscreen
– Jy kom op die skerm
So good-looking it’s obscene
– So mooi dit is onwelvoeglik
I put my fist into my mouth and scream
– Ek steek my vuis in my mond en skree
Some things, it seems, are catching up with me
– Dit lyk of sommige dinge my inhaal
And as it rises to my chin, I should really stop watching
– En as dit tot by my ken styg, moet ek regtig ophou kyk
And as I reach for the remote, it is rushing down my throat
– En as ek na die afstandsbediening reik, jaag dit my keel af
I let it in, I start to swim
– Ek laat dit in, ek begin swem
I grow many arms and legs and then I start to sing
– Ek groei baie arms en bene en dan begin ek sing
And all of my peers, they had such potential
– En al my eweknieë, hulle het so’n potensiaal gehad
The swamp, it took them down
– Die moeras, dit het hulle afgeneem
And my love, I have to tell you
– En my liefde, ek moet jou vertel
I kissed them all and let them drown, oh
– Ek het hulle almal gesoen en hulle laat verdrink, o
You didn’t see me, just another drunken groupie
– Jy het my nie gesien nie, net nog’n dronk groupie
So when your hand reached out
– Wanneer jou hand uitgestrek is
I just pushed you further down
– Ek het jou net verder gedruk
Well, do you see me now?
– Sien jy my nou?
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my nou?)
Creature from the deep, do I haunt you in your sleep?
– Skepsel uit die diepte, spook ek jou in jou slaap?
My tentacles so tender, as I caress your cheek
– My tentakels so sag, soos ek jou wang streel
Did you know how big I would become?
– Het jy geweet hoe groot ek gaan word?
And how much I would eat?
– Hoeveel moet ek eet?
So glamorous and ravenous as I drag you off your feet
– So glansryke en honger soos ek jou van jou voete af sleep
There’s nothing you can do
– Daar is niks wat jy kan doen nie
Some things, it seems, are catching up with you
– Dit lyk asof sommige dinge jou inhaal
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my?)
You said I would be nothing, but look, I’m really something
– Jy het gesê ek sal niks wees nie, maar kyk, ek is regtig iets
Many arms around the mast as your ship starts cracking
– Baie arms om die mas as jou skip begin kraak
Will you see me through the pain?
– Sal jy my deur die pyn sien?
Have you changed? Well, so have I
– Het jy verander? Wel, ek het ook
As I fix you in the gaze of my one unblinking eye
– Soos ek jou in die blik van my een flikkerende oog
Do I terrify?
– Is ek bang?
And all of my peers, they had such potential
– En al my eweknieë, hulle het so’n potensiaal gehad
The swamp, it took them down
– Die moeras, dit het hulle afgeneem
And my love, I have to tell you
– En my liefde, ek moet jou vertel
I kissed them all and let them drown, oh
– Ek het hulle almal gesoen en hulle laat verdrink, o
You didn’t see me, just another drunken groupie
– Jy het my nie gesien nie, net nog’n dronk groupie
So when your hand reached out
– Wanneer jou hand uitgestrek is
I just pushed you further down
– Ek het jou net verder gedruk
Well, do you see me now?
– Sien jy my nou?
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my nou?)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my nou?)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
– Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (sien jy my nou?)
