Underwater Lyrics


[Verse 1]
Why don't you see me?
Death on the TV
It is a full moon, I'm not sure what that means
I'm hurting myself, it's making me bleed
I feel alright, but that point is irrelevant

[Pre-Chorus]
(And when I'm in the—)
(And when I'm at the b—)
(It feels so effort—)
(I'm out here in the—)
And when I'm in the pool
And when I'm at the beach
It feels so effortless
I'm out here in the sea

[Chorus]
My head is underwater
A puddle full of my tears
I could make a river
Wouldn't even matter
Why don't you see me?
Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can't you see me?
My hеad is underwater
A puddle full of my tеars
I could make a river
Wouldn't even matter
Why don't you see me?
Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can't you take me?

[Verse 2]
I'm weightless
Am I the only one to feel this?
Can't find what's missing, so I'll cry like a baby
Why do you not hear me?
Werewolf could take me, you wouldn't believe me

[Pre-Chorus]
(And when I'm missing y—)
(Or when I'm in b—)
(I hear the rebel laugh)
(I'm floating in the sea)
And when I'm missing you
Or when I'm in between
I hear the rebel laugh
I'm out here in the sea

[Chorus]
My head is underwater
A puddle full of my tears
I could make a river
Wouldn't even matter
Why don't you see me?
Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can't you see me?
My head is underwater
A puddle full of my tears
I could make a river
Wouldn't even matter
Why don't you see me?
Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can't you see me?

[Post-Chorus]
(I'm in the p—)
(Or when I'm at the b—)
(It feels so effort—)
(I'm out here in the sea)
And when I'm in the pool
Or when I'm at the beach
It feels so effortless
I'm out here in the sea

[Bridge]
My head is underwater
A puddle full of my tears
I could make a river
Wouldn't even matter
Why don't you see me?
Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can't you see me?

[Chorus]
My head is underwater
A puddle full of my tears
I could make a river
Wouldn't even matter
Why don't you see me?
Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can't you see me?
(My head is underwater, my head is underwater, my head is underwater) (See me)

BENEE - Underwater Lyrics | Song Review

Underwater Song Review: Why Fans Love It

Since dropping on October 3, 2025, "Underwater" has swiftly carved a niche as one of BENEE’s most emotionally resonant releases. The track, from her forthcoming album "Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles", strikes a chord for so many, and here’s why listeners can’t seem to stop hitting replay.

1. It feels both intimate and vast

Right from the flutters of that opening verse, “Why don’t you see me?”, fans recognize the signature BENEE tension: simplicity layered with vulnerability. In interviews, she’s described the song as exploring that disconnect between how effortless you seem and how heavy you really feel. That duality—the ease in sound, the grit in feeling—makes Underwater feel like personal diary-turned-pop.

2. It’s streaming upward

While "Underwater" is still fresh, BENEE already commands over 2 billion+ total streams as an artist on Spotify. Though "Underwater" hasn’t yet replaced massive hits like Supalonely in daily tallies, it’s steadily climbing playlists. Its parent album, "Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles", drops November 7 and is already being framed by press as a deep, existential dive.

3. Hashtags and trends are fueling it

On TikTok and X, fans are rallying around hashtags like #UnderwaterChallenge, #BENEEUnderwater, and #HeadUnderwater. Creators are using the pre-chorus (“And when I’m in the pool / … feels so effortless”) to sync slow-motion water visuals or underwater shoots. A few popular dance and visual edits are already surpassing a million views.

Commenters on TikTok write things like, “this feels like crying in the ocean” or “whenever I feel unseen, I press play.” On X, users praise the haunting chorus and tag streaming friends, saying this song will drown you—in the best way.

4. Reddit and fan hearts

Over on r/PopHeads and subreddits like r/Music, threads are popping:

• One commenter wrote, “Underwater reminds me of those nights when your brain won’t shut up and you feel like you might just drift away.”
• Another noted, “BENEE’s ability to make light synths feel like pressure—this track nails that.”

Fans often compare Underwater to her older work, saying it’s more mature, more expansive—like she’s letting more space for silence, reflection, emotional weight.

5. Live, in parties and clubs

Though "Underwater" is still new, early buzz suggests it’s already made splashes in DJ sets at underground clubs and boutique bars. The ambient, throbbing textures make it apt for transition moments—where the dancefloor dips into introspection. Also, at her upcoming Masonic Lodge show in Los Angeles, BENEE plans to debut Underwater live for the first time.

Among superfans who attend her tours, the song is already being whispered as a tear-catcher—one to close sets with, or to turn down lights for mid-night moments.

At its core, "Underwater" is replayed because it feels true. The emotional pull is real: the pressure of drowning in your own feelings, the ache of invisibility, and that fragile longing to be seen. It’s not just a pop song—you lean into it, you splash around in it, you hold your breath with it.

Listeners return because Underwater doesn’t just soundtrack sadness or introspection—it lets you swim through it. In other words: it’s comforting. It’s dramatic. It’s you.
