• After being smacked in the face with depression, hopelessness and fear, Jaclyn visualized this experience as being pulled down into the deep by a sea monster called a Kraken. In this tale, the Kraken feeds on the misery of others and waits until the person is full of misery before feasting upon them. At the time, Jaclyn's husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and she was already experiencing a chronic dizziness disorder.
Lyrics
Slip into the pit that I know
On stage but not in the show
Do you not hear the words I sing to you?
Screaming for help and not getting through to you
Bite my lip before my jaw drops
You look at me like a cyclops
Well the Kraken waits for me at the bottom of the sea
He feeds on other’s misery
Waits until I’m at full capacity
When there’s no life left in me
Then he’ll pull me down
He’ll pull me down
Where all hope goes to die at the bottom of the sea
Contributions become pollution
No longer have a solution
Plagued mind and stolen energy
Strange relief when Kraken clings to me
Grab the ship for my last breath
You know what will come next
Well the Kraken waits for me at the bottom of the sea
He feeds on other’s misery
Waits until I’m at full capacity
When there’s no life left in me
Then he’ll pull me down
He’ll pull me down
Where all hope goes to die at the bottom of the sea
Hop aboard on my ship
I’ll take you on quite the trip
Maybe then you will see why my songs are dreary
And I’ll pull you down
I’ll pull you down
Let you go just in time to reach the surface of the sea
But the Kraken waits for me at the bottom of the sea
He feeds on other’s misery
Waits until I’m at full capacity
When there’s no life left in me
And He’ll pull me down
He’ll pull me down
Where all hope goes to die at the bottom of the sea
