Discover the story of the song > Sinking Feeling – Wavves

The song talks about a feeling that the protagonist keeps experiencing, which is like a sinking sensation that makes him feel like something bad is going to happen all the time. He feels like death is constantly on his mind and he can even hear a terrible sound that contributes to this feeling. The second verse elaborates on this feeling of drowning and being swallowed by the sea, with even a coin slipping away from his grasp and taking him into the abyss. The protagonist wants his partner to know that he feels this way, and he keeps experiencing these sinking feelings.
