Pearl Diver Lyrics

von Mitski

Treasure hunter you are dead, the light of a world is fading
You cannot see the other end, your body's lost all feeling
Those creatures of your working mind, don't fear them or their hunger
Forgive the sea, follow the tide, with the monsters on your shoulder

Pearl diver
Dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver
Dive, dive down

Pearl diver
Dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver
Dive, dive down

Oh hunter, if you didn't want the beautiful so badly
Perhaps you would've found it in your spirit singing softly
But hunter, you were human, don't forget it and go safely
And I, I'll live without you, though the struggle will be daily

Pearl diver
Dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver
Dive, dive down

Pearl diver
Dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver
Dive, dive down

Treasure hunter you are dead, the light of a world is fading
