"Hopefully this song can get through to people in the way I want it to, and that's to say I really hope they can grasp that firstly, anyone can go through depression, and secondly, that it's possible to get through it. The line 'So on to the ocean, and into the sea, so balanced and calm now that's where you'll find me. Wash away all my problems, wash away memories...' is a literal explanation of how I found peace in myself. There were other factors involved obviously, but what I wanted to get across is that there's something out there for everyone to find their peace of mind. Whether it be by getting back to nature like I did or finding other outlets through music, art, sport or other activities, there is something there to help you get through it that doesn't involve speaking to people. I found that being out in the ocean and enjoying the solitude and peacefulness of it all really helped me through. I really hope that people can hold onto the line 'I'll swear if you will to hold onto life, I'll hold on if you will...' and make that a pact between each other. There's more to live for than it appears when you're really in the depths of depression, and it's important to try and hold on as firmly as you can - to whatever you can - to get through it."





Well I know there's been times when I wished I would die,
but I swear yeah I swear oh I swear I'm past that,
and I'll swear if you will that I will not look back,
yeah I swear if you will that I will not look back.

Take a deep breath now, pass the shallows,
stay steady and hold on, through the darkness we all know.

And I swear yeah I swear yeah I swear if you will,
to hold onto life, yeah I'll hold on if you will...

So on to the ocean and into the sea, so balanced and calm now, that's where I will be.
So on to the ocean and into the sea wash away all my problems wash away memories.

Back then - always through the shattered glass
I stared at my life, and oh I wished I would die,
but I swear yeah I swear oh I swear I'm past that -
is this all what it seems - I can't believe that I made it.
Take a deep breath now, pass the shallows,
stay steady and hold on, through the darkness we all know -
And I swear yeah I swear yeah I swear if you will, to hold onto life,
yeah I'll hold on if you will...

So on to the ocean and into the sea, so balanced and calm now, that's where I will be.
So on to the ocean and into the sea wash away all my problems wash away memories.

Take a deep breath now, pass the shallows,
stay steady and hold on, through the darkness we all know.

And I swear yeah I swear yeah I swear if you will,
to hold onto life, yeah I'll hold on if you will...

So on to the ocean and into the sea, so balanced and calm now, that's where I will be.
So on to the ocean and into the sea wash away all my problems wash away memories.
