I sail into the riptide meridian (वर्ज़न 2)

Intro

Tide callin', tide callin'

(riptide)

I hear it every mornin'

Verse

Velvet lifejacket but the strings don't tie

Foam Rolex tickin', tide keep askin' why

Bought a share of the wreck when the market dipped

Captain of a Lada, callin' it a yacht I flipped

Compass on my wrist, but it's pointin' at your name

GPS keep routin' me right back to the flame

Diamond anchor sinkin', still I call it jewelry

Insurance on the drownin', premium's my loyalty

Foam pit party, champagne's really seawater

Toast to the horizon, watch the currency get shorter

Sunken chest of promises, I keep the key on a string

Every dive's a downgrade, still I frame it like a king

Seagulls callin' credit, I keep answerin' the phone

Riptide got equity, I'm the only one who's shown

Knee-deep in the numbers, chart keep drawin' a frown

Still I mortgage the horizon just to watch it pull me down

Chorus

I sail into the riptide meridian

Chasing gold that pulls me under, again and again

I know the current's rigged but I keep swimming in

I sail into the riptide meridian

Verse

She's the meridian, moves the line when I get close

Every high tide's a promise she already broke

Velvet in her voice but the current's got a blade

Still I'm investin' in a wave that's already paid

Diamond mustache driftin', lost it in the swell

Still I'm buyin' stock in the story she can't sell

Lada turned yacht, turned a raft, turned a coffin

Still I'm captain, steerin' toward the profit I keep losin'

Foam crown floatin', I salute it like a trophy

Debt collectin' seaweed wrapped around me softly

She call it drownin', I call it a dividend

Keep signin' checks to the horizon, callin' it a friend

Sonar readin' heartbeat, sayin' turn around, go back

I keep the wheel steady, aimin' straight into the wreck

Every wave apologize but none of 'em refund

Still I'm chasing the meridian like it's the last one

Chorus

I sail into the riptide meridian

Chasing gold that pulls me under, again and again

I know the current's rigged but I keep swimming in

I sail into the riptide meridian

Bridge

I know the chart, I drew it, could read it in my sleep

Every arrow says retreat, but retreat's too cheap

Maybe I don't want the treasure, maybe I want the reach

Hand still out for water when the water's out of reach

Call it a strategy, call it a slow surrender

Sign the same contract, tell myself it's remembrance

If the meridian moves again tomorrow, I'll still find it

That ain't a flaw in the plan — that's the plan, I designed it

Outro

Still I sail, still I sail (still)

Riptide meridian, that's my only trail

Foam on the Rolex, velvet gone to salt

I chose the wave, so call it my own fault
