Navigating Life's Turbulent Seas: Alice Milton's Seasick Reflections
Lyrics
Drifting aimlessly,
Feeling adrift and without a clear direction.
venturing through the sea,
Navigating through life's challenges or experiences.
I can see myself through the reflection of the water.
Self-reflection, possibly in a metaphorical or literal sea.
But it's someone I can't recognize anymore.
The speaker no longer recognizes themselves, perhaps due to personal changes or hardships.
I'm seasick without a real cause
Experiencing a sense of nausea or discomfort without a clear cause.
like it's all in my head.
Suspecting that the discomfort is psychological rather than physical.
Spinning round and round in circles,
Feeling trapped in repetitive and unproductive cycles.
just going through the motions
Engaging in actions without genuine emotional involvement.
The Dramamine doesn't work on me.
Medication (Dramamine) is ineffective in alleviating the discomfort.
I guess I'm just immune to feeling fine, but it's alright
Acceptance of not feeling well emotionally, but maintaining a positive outlook.
I've got a seasick state of mind
Adopting a mindset characterized by emotional unease.
Last summer as a kid, working six days a week.
Recalling a challenging past, possibly in a work-related context.
Doing it all over again, the same masochistic routine
Repeating a difficult and painful routine, possibly masochistic in nature.
Trying to squeeze in a missed dream.
Attempting to fulfill an unrealized or postponed dream.
I'm seasick without a real cause
Experiencing discomfort without an apparent cause, echoing earlier sentiments.
like it's all in my head
Perceiving the discomfort as originating in the mind.
Spinning round and round in circles, just going through the motions.
Feeling stuck in repetitive and unfulfilling patterns.
The Dramamine doesn't work on me
Continued ineffectiveness of medication (Dramamine).
I guess I'm just immune to feeling fine, but it's alright.
Accepting emotional challenges with resilience.
I've got a seasick state of mind
Maintaining a mindset characterized by emotional unease.
Soon enough the summer will be through,
Acknowledging the transient nature of difficult times.
and I can turn a new page.
Anticipating a new phase or chapter in life.
Maybe by then, this seasickness would have faded away
Hopeful that the seasickness will eventually fade away.
