Grey Havens
Journey to the Grey Havens: A Melodic Odyssey of Loss and Hope
Lyrics
Cast off, we will set a course
Expressing determination to embark on a journey
Waves will break, cast in our wake
Anticipating challenges that will be overcome
To undying lands
Heading towards immortal lands, possibly symbolizing a better place or future
The ashes of everything we were
Symbolizing the remnants of the past, the things that define us
Scattered overboard, we never said a word
Abandoning the past without communication or explanation
As they left our hands
The act of letting go and the emotional weight of it
This vessel is our chariot (HAVE FAITH)
Referring to the vessel as a symbol of salvation, possibly with a call for faith
We are truly saved
Assurance in the belief that salvation is achieved
Listen, there's a whisper on the wind
An urging to pay attention to subtle signs or messages
"Go drown your fears...in the waves"
Suggesting a remedy for fears through immersion in the journey
With our eyes on the horizon
Continuing the journey with a focus on the future
We carry on
Perseverance despite challenges or hardships
Weather eye on the horizon
Remaining vigilant and aware of what lies ahead
We face the sun
Facing positivity and brightness, possibly symbolizing hope
Cast off, the edge of the earth
Reiterating the departure and exploration into the unknown
Where there are no charts & unfamiliar stars
Emphasizing the lack of guidance and familiarity in the new journey
Will guide us home
Trusting unknown elements to lead back to a home
The ashes of everyone we've loved
Acknowledging the loss of loved ones and their memories
Have washes away
Signifying the passage of time and the fading of memories
They're gone not forgotten
Highlighting the persistent impact of those who are gone
With our eyes on the horizon
Continuing the journey with a forward-looking perspective
We carry on
Persisting in the face of challenges and hardships
Weather eye on the horizon
Maintaining vigilance and awareness, especially towards the future
We face the sun
Embracing positivity and facing a brighter future
For those we've left behind,
Dedicating a moment to those left behind, expressing a sense of loss
Across the sea
Referring to the distance and separation from those left behind
This is a requiem, a eulogy
Describing the journey as a requiem, a farewell or tribute
