Underwater Lyrics – BENEE | from “Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles”

Slide into the depths with “Underwater,” track eight on BENEE‘s sophomore album Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles, out November 7 via Republic Records. This 12-song set marks her return after five years since the Lychee EP, blending dreamy alt-pop with surreal twists that BENEE has been crafting for three years straight. From her New Zealand roots to LA scenes, she’s built on Supalonely’s viral spark with singles like Cinnamon and Off The Rails, now weaving in childlike wonder alongside that quiet existential pull. As she shared in August, the title hit from an old lyric, capturing a world that’s ethereal yet heavy with what ifs.

Drawn from an Instagram post, “Underwater” floats on effortless vibes at the pool or beach, but dives quick into emotional swells – head submerged in a puddle of tears, wondering why no one sees the struggle at the bottom. It’s that raw mix of freedom and isolation, with lines like “I could make a river, wouldn’t even matter” echoing the album’s balance of light highs and deeper lows. Fans are already spotting ties to tracks like Sad Boiii’s ache or Animal’s wild energy, all under production from folks like Josh Fountain that keeps her sound genre-bending and intimate. Whether it’s the water motifs nodding to Soaked or the unseen pleas building on her storytelling, this one pulls you under into BENEE’s vulnerable orbit, perfect for anyone riding those quiet waves of feeling lost in plain sight.
