I'm heavy
I'm by your side.
...
I'm heavy
Alone inside.
...
Is someone telling me don't get in the water?
What have I done?
I don't wanna get lost inside the color under my tongue.

You mentioned you couldn't find out what the "color" is. If we look at the lyrics of the whole song, the "color" is likely Anxiety.
The "color" is the pigment of that water.
•The Proper Explanation: Dissolving vs. Drowning
There is a specific "basic" way to look at this:
/The Color: It’s like a dye. If you put a "color under your tongue," it eventually dissolves and spreads through your whole body.
/The Drowning: She is afraid that once this "color" (her heavy thoughts/anxiety) dissolves, she will be "lost inside" it. She won't be "Maria" anymore; she will just be the color.
Why Red matters over Blue?
•While "blue" is the color of the sea, "red" is the color of the blood and the heart.
/To drown in "blue" water is to be lost in the world.
/To drown in the "red" color under your tongue is to be lost in yourself.
That is why the song feels so claustrophobic. She isn't lost in a big ocean; she is lost inside her own mouth, her own head, and her own "heavy" heart. The "water" she mentions is just her mind playing tricks on her, making her feel like she's sinking when she's actually just lying under her covers.

The metaphor of the tongue: Since its the tongue is how we speak, having the 'color' under it suggests that she can't find the words to explain why she feels so "heavy". The color is stuck there -vivid and overwhelming (like the color of the albums cover ((red)) ) - but its not coming out as speech.

Water su olan water değilmiş duygularmis. In this song water represents drowning in the thoughts.
A warning against 'diving in' to a relationship or an emotional state that feels so deep.

The "water" is the overwhelming feeling of a panic attack or a deep depressive episode.
aslında aynı şeyler gibi, askta bı panic attack değil midir ama karar veremedim ikisininde yazdim

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
...
Shell smashed, juices flowing, wings twitch
Legs are going,
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
...
You know, you know where are you with
You know where are you are with
Floor collapses
Floating
Bouncing back
And one day, I am gonna grow wings
...
Hysterical and useless.

Echoing in deer's cry
Each is a goodbye

If I had 9 lives
I'd spend the first one drowning
feel the water seep into my lungs
stealing my oxygen and stripping my breath
maybe after I become unconscious
I'd find peace
and I would no longer fear the ocean
I could spend the rest of my 8 lives living by the water, living with no fears
Keaita
But I don't have nine lives, I just have this one.
So I guess I'll spend it sitting by the ocean, and waiting for you

For my 8th life, I'll live it alone. I'll write books
Live in a little apartment in New York City
spend my days writing in a cafe around the block from where I live
and drink wine before bed
I'll do yoga, eat clean
and have an occasional cigarette off my balcony
I'll raise a cat by myself
and he will watch me take my last breath before my last life
In my final life, I'll look for you
I'll wait at the bus stops, move back to our hometown, try and find you at shitty dive bars
and write letter I'll never send
I'll realize after living 8 lives something was missing
Going about life without the person I loved made it all seem meaningless.

For my next two
I'd spend each one with my parents
Live in their shadows, learn their deepest secrets and listen their regrets
just so I don't fuck up lives 4 through 9
I'll hold their hands gently and watch them take their last breaths
In my fourth life I'll run away
I'll run away from myself, the person I can not change
Because I am still too naive to understand that I am all the things that are wrong with me
I'll chase butterflies and try to find myself
I'll look in all the wrong places, wrong cities, wrong people
and before I know it I've ran through 3 of my 9 lives.
In my 7th life I'll listen my parents advice, I'll work a 9-5
Make a stable income, settling down with a man I am not sure I'm in love with, but he is a good father to my children
We will have a white picket fence, red door and a big fluffy dog that barks at the mailman
