    LYRICS:
    staring at the sea
    will she come?
    is there hope for me
    after all is said and done
    anything at any price
    all of this for you
    all the spoils of a wasted life
    all of this for you
    all the world has closed her eyes
    tired faith all worn and thin
    for all we could have done
    and all that could have been
    ocean pulls me close
    and whispers in my ear
    the destiny i've chose
    all becoming clear
    the currents have their say
    the time is drawing near
    washes me away
    makes me disappear
    i descend from grace
    in arms of undertow
    i will take my place
    in the great below
    i can still feel you
    even so far away

(the 'Hades' or dark depressive 'underworld) calling 'no she's mine'. and Persephone (the 'Gina of Whoever') in the middle the incessant tug of war that depression is... only 'Stubborn Me' will *Never* just take my place in that great below... ha. oh, and please don't thank me... i just tend to spit out whatever my mind throws at me, so thank you for seeing what i meant here, but you are welcome though? hahaha

      @@ginawhoever9734 Well according to the myth i read online she didn't really have a choise, because she was enchanted by the pomegranade seeds she ate in the underworld , so she didn't really have a say in this, I mean the myth doesn't say anything about what she thinks of Hades,does she even have any feelings for him. It really shows that in that time contracted marriage was a normal thing, and that woman didn't have any say in who she want to marry to. If it is a struggle, than it would be struggle to resist the temptation of the drug and go back to her mother.She couldn't resist in the end , she said that she wants to live in the underworld, and it all ended with Zeus'es decision in her being by her husband's side half a year,and by her mother's side the other half of the year.

Am i the only one that interprets it to mean hes facing his judgement day. He is being cast to hell and at the end he's refering to 'the one that got away' his true love he lost. Hes being tormented and longing for her even after death. Hell.eternal torment..shes gone to heaven or still alive..I CAN STILL FEEL YOU..EVEN SO FAR AWAY..💔
