We Belong To The Sea
Aqua · Aquarius
Let me dive right into
Anything I'll ever capture
You can wait up all night
Waiting for wrong or right
I always knew where I had you
You can lie on my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Living on the edge of peace
Knowing that water can freeze
Do you still want me to open
Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me
Till the tides take my soul
(CHORUS)
We belong to the sea
To the waves you and me
Living in the ocean so blue
We belong to the sea
Open wide being free
A minute everlasting with you
And as soon as it stops
We'll all be a drop
Coming down on your wide open sea
Can you wash me away
Will you dry me one day
Take me to the place where I came from
If I had an open heart
Would you tear that apart
Why do I feel that you're lonesome
Come on into my waves
You can sleep in my caves
Let me know that you will hold me
Till the tides take my soul
(Chorus)
There's a thunder inside me
That your silence will kill
And I know that you forced me
To get rid of what I feel
(Chorus)
We Belong To The Sea
Released in 1997 on the album Aquarius, "We Belong To The Sea" is a defining track by the Danish synth-pop group Aqua. As a lead single from their second studio album, the song exemplifies the group's signature style, blending upbeat dance rhythms with lush, atmospheric synth arrangements. The track features the iconic vocal performance of Lene Nyffeler, who delivers the song's memorable chorus with a distinctive falsetto that became synonymous with the band's sound during the late 1990s. The music video, featuring the group in a beach setting, reinforced the song's themes of freedom and connection to nature, contributing to its status as a staple of Eurodance history. The recording stands as a key example of the genre's evolution during the mid-to-late 90s, showcasing Aqua's ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant pop anthems that bridged the gap between club music and mainstream radio success.
