From the recording Jungle
Watery Grave is the second last and most stylized song off the Jungle EP. The track plays off the previous theme of “All I Need”, where, when crossing the sea to a better place, the love the character thought he knew, turns out to be menacing and hurtful. The song portrays this twist of love with the story of a Sailor and a Mermaid; a person who is addicted to loving someone who keeps hurting them. The track culminates with a violent realization that the Mariner had been led too far out to sea. The woman he thought he knew had lured him to his Watery Grave.

Girl I know the way that you move
And we all know the danger
I'll take what you will give to me
When the ocean calls to me and you
Girl I know the way that you move
And we all know the danger
I'll take what you will give to me
When the ocean calls to me and you
The ocean calls for me and you
The ocean calls
