Jonah 2:3-5
For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me. At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’ The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.

strains against Jonah 2:3-5
Where Jonah's engulfing waters lead to a prayer of rescue and deliverance, the song leaves the swallowing ocean open-ended, without clear hope of being pulled back out.
