This song paints a melodic word picture of impending doom, human helplessness, and a gracious rescue. The song functions as a story of gratitude for the singer’s own rescue and also a message of hope for others who need the same.
It depicts a person beginning with a certain naivete, finding himself cold and alone. He finds some truth in a book. This truth is the existence of a perfect God, God’s good laws, and the person’s own depravity. That truth is beautiful in a deep sense, but also dreadful because it reveals his weakness, inadequacy, and evil compared to God; So holding the truth of law and depravity alone only adds to his helplessness against impending doom, symbolized by the rising water. Even with that truth, try as he might, he can’t save himself. But then rescue comes.
He is saved by one who could fulfill the demands of God’s law. Because he’s perfect, the rescuer can reach out and save the drowning man. The compassionate and perfect rescuer is Jesus, whose name means Salvation.
Dustin Kensrue explains:
For me, the song is talking about the idea of the Law, which is what God would command. It is beautiful, but it’s also treacherous in the fact that we can’t live up to it. It’s pretty much the difference between the Law and the Gospel. The Law is what God commands and the Gospel is what He gives, and that’s kind of where the song ends, is that transition.»
The lyrics of Thrice’s “The Great Exchange” have a very similar theme.
They are not ‘under the water’, because you can see them. They are ‘in the water’ because parts of them are ‘under the water’.

- under (the) water (underwater) — in practically all contexts means «underneath or beneath the surface of the water» = submerged. «the» is optional depending on the context.
Here we can see that one end of the column is above the surface while the other is underneath the surface and that means that the column is in the water. Had it entirely drowned it would have been under water.

Words in the Water(оригинал) |
| Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving, somehow I knew I’d lost |
| something |
| Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river, waiting for me to find it |
| there |
| I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water, but the tide, it pulled me out |
| to sea |
| Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place |
| They were beautiful and dread; |
| I reached for them and fed on each phrase |
| They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side |
| I knew they’d lay me in my grave; |
| «Is there no one who can save me?» |
| I cried |
| Sinking, down deep through cold water and heavy silence, shadows stirring in |
| the gloom |
| What things lay sleeping down deep in the darkness woke then, to find me in |
| that tomb? |
| Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place |
| They were beautiful and dread; |
| I reached for them and fed on each phrase |
| They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side |
| I knew they’d lay me in my grave; |
| «Is there no one who can save me?» |
| I cried |
| And when I lost all hope to look, someone took that heavy book from my hands |
| All its weight they set aside, after they had satisfied its demands |
| I felt white and black reverse, and the lifting of a curse from my heart |
| Then like one receiving sight, I beheld a brilliant light in the dark |
Слова в воде(перевод) |
| Стоя по колено в холодной воде, быстро двигаясь, я каким-то образом знал, что проиграл |
| что-нибудь |
| Пробираясь по пояс, я увидел там в реке книгу, которая ждала, пока я ее найду. |
| там |
| Я пытался читать это по шею, топчась на месте, но прилив вытащил меня |
| в море |
| Затем, с водой на глазах, слова начали подниматься со своего места |
| Они были прекрасны и ужасны; |
| Я тянулся к ним и питался каждой фразой |
| Они были мёдом на моих губах, но затем горькая дрожь в боку |
| Я знал, что они положат меня в могилу; |
| «Неужели нет никого, кто может спасти меня?» |
| Я плакал |
| Погружаясь глубоко в холодную воду и тяжелую тишину, тени шевелятся. |
| мрак |
| То, что спало глубоко в темноте, проснулось, чтобы найти меня в |
| эта могила? |
| Затем, с водой на глазах, слова начали подниматься со своего места |
| Они были прекрасны и ужасны; |
| Я тянулся к ним и питался каждой фразой |
| Они были мёдом на моих губах, но затем горькая дрожь в боку |
| Я знал, что они положат меня в могилу; |
| «Неужели нет никого, кто может спасти меня?» |
| Я плакал |
| И когда я потерял всякую надежду искать, кто-то взял ту тяжелую книгу из моих рук |
| Весь его вес они отложили в сторону после того, как удовлетворили его требования. |
| Я почувствовал, как белое и черное перевернулось, и проклятие снялось с моего сердца. |
| Затем, как прозревший, я увидел яркий свет в темноте |
