Lyrics
The place they were stranded
The location where they found themselves stranded.
The traces that they made
The signs or marks they left behind.
All got washed away
All evidence of their presence was erased by some force.
The people before us
The people who existed before their time.
The fires that they burned
The fires they ignited, possibly symbolic of their actions or experiences.
Somehow all want out
These predecessors seem to desire an escape from their situations.
Let's make a decision
A call to make a decision.
Alone I cannot judge
Alone, the speaker cannot make judgments.
The tide is coming in
The rising tide, suggesting a change or transition.
It's all for the better
All changes are ultimately for the better.
Come with me if you want
An invitation to accompany the speaker.
'cause I am heading home
The speaker is heading home, implying a return to a familiar place.
But I feel no guilt
No sense of guilt is felt by the speaker.
I'm doing all the things that I want to do
The speaker is doing things they desire without remorse.
Do we all believe in contemplation
Pondering whether everyone believes in contemplation.
Do we all believe it?
A repetition, questioning the collective belief in contemplation.
I put my boat right on the water
The speaker places their boat in the water, a symbol of embarking on a journey.
I hear the voices calling, but is it you?
Hearing voices calling, questioning their origin.
Do we all believe in endless summers
Contemplating whether everyone believes in never-ending summers.
Do we all believe in summer?
A repetition, questioning the collective belief in eternal summers.
So do you remember
A query about personal memory versus received information.
Or is it what you're told
Questioning whether what one knows is based on personal experience or external influence.
Who am I to know?
The uncertainty of the speaker's knowledge or authority.
It's all for the better
Reiteration that all changes are for the better.
Come with me if you want
Inviting someone to join the speaker on their journey home.
'cause I am heading home
The speaker is heading home, reinforcing the idea of a return.
I am putting my boat on the water...
The speaker is placing their boat in the water, repeating the earlier action.
