Sailor
Eternal Sea of Dreams: Navigating Life's Storms with Big Country
Lyrics
What would you be if the waves set you free
Contemplating one's identity if liberated by the waves.
And the wind in your hair brought you sailing to me
The desire for a reunion, symbolized by sailing.
Tied up on the shore would you weary no more?
Questioning if being tied to the shore brings weariness.
When will it be, when will it be
Anticipation of a future moment of freedom.
What would I be if a hurricane came
Reflecting on one's response to a hurricane's challenges.
Would I be clever, would I be shamed
Considering potential reactions - cleverness or shame.
Would I lie helpless, cast up on the flames
Imagining vulnerability and helplessness in adversity.
What will I be, what will I be
Questioning one's future actions and choices.
I will be here forever
Commitment to be present and unwavering.
Till the river runs into the sea
Expressing enduring commitment until a significant event.
I will always be silent
Commitment to silence despite challenges.
And hold my head up
Persistence and confidence despite difficulties.
Till we will be sailors no more
An acknowledgment of a future transition from being sailors.
Where would we go
Contemplating possible destinations or choices.
To the sand or the snow
Weighing options between past memories and letting go.
Wander in memories or let them all go
Questioning whether they would be dreamers or not.
Would we be dreamers, helplessly so
Reiteration of the uncertainty regarding choices.
Where would we go, where would we go
Reaffirmation of the persistent commitment.
I will be here forever
Repeating the vow to remain present indefinitely.
Till the river runs into the sea
Reiteration of commitment until a significant event.
I will always be silent
Emphasizing commitment to silence and resilience.
And hold my head up
Persistence and confidence despite difficulties.
Till we will be sailors no more
Acknowledging the eventual end of their sailing journey.
I will be here forever
Repeating the vow to remain present indefinitely.
Till the river runs into the sea
Reiteration of commitment until a significant event.
I will always be silent
Emphasizing commitment to silence and resilience.
And hold my head up
Persistence and confidence despite difficulties.
Till we will be sailors no more
Acknowledging the eventual end of their sailing journey.
Let's run right out of the city tonight
Proposing an escape from urban life.
With our hair tied up and lips sealed tight
Describing a carefree departure with secrets kept.
I will cry no more, I said I will cry no more
Declaring an end to crying and emotional distress.
Like an empty tourist at the world fair
Feeling like a passive observer in the face of the world.
I could only stand and stare
Expressing a sense of missed opportunities.
And let it pass by me, let it pass me by
Letting life pass by without active engagement.
I never should have said out loud
Regretting vocalizing a desire to save the world.
That I wanted to save the world
Admitting to letting a crucial opportunity slip away.
But I let it slip away, I just let it slip away
Reflecting on a lost chance to be a savior.
The only thing I wanted to be
Expressing a past desire for perfection and violence.
Was the perfect one who killed for free
Declaring an end to attempting such pursuits.
And I will try no more, I say I will try no more
Affirming the decision to abandon past ambitions.
But now we are together we won't turn back
Commitment to move forward together despite challenges.
Where the boats are burned and the ties are black
Describing a place with destroyed boats and broken ties.
And I will cry no more, I will cry no more
Declaring an end to crying in the current situation.
