The Water

Description

Innocent, they swim.
I tell them no and they just dive right in.
But do they know it’s a long way down
When you’re alone,
And there’s no air or sound
Down below the surface?

There’s something in the water,
I do not feel safe.
It always feels like torture
To be this close.
I wish that I was stronger:
I’d separate the waves,
Not just let the water
Take me away.

There was a time I’d dip my feet
And it would roll off my skin.
Now every time I get close to the edge, I’m scared of falling in.
‘Cause I don’t want to be stranded again
On my own when the tide comes in
And pulls me below the surface.

There’s something in the water,
I do not feel safe.
It always feels like torture
To be this close.
I wish that I was stronger:
I’d separate the waves,
Not just let the water
Take me away.


[ The Water – Hurts ]


First of all, I’d like to wish a happy birthday to Hurts vocalist, Theo Hutchcraft, who turns 25 today. :heart:
Yet another challenge for me: shooting in the water. It’s something I was looking forward to since some time, and was just waiting for the right weather condition (and, thus, light) to shoot it. Coincidentally, it happened today, perfectly on time for Theo’s birthday.
By the way, I’m still spitting sea water from my nose after six hours, as I had basically to drawn to take these photos due to the position, but it was most definitely worth it.
Taken in Alghero, Italy. You can read more about this photo here, and about the photoshoot in general here, and see the rest of the Inspiration Hurts project for more.
