Aquarium
Navigating Heartbreak: Depths of Discovery at the Aquarium
Lyrics
I couldn't tell you how it started
I am unable to explain how our situation began.
Couldn't forget how it ended
I cannot erase the memory of how it concluded.
The day before Valentine's at the aquarium
This event occurred on the day before Valentine's Day at the aquarium.
I've always had mixed emotions
I have conflicting and mixed feelings.
About how we could work
I have uncertainties about the feasibility of our relationship.
And how we take fish from the ocean
Reflection on the ethical dilemma of extracting fish from the ocean.
I was so comfortable in your current
I felt at ease in your presence.
And I made your body my home
Your body became a place of comfort for me.
And you held me with all of my broken
You supported me despite my brokenness.
And I found I need to heal on my own
I realize the need to heal independently.
I'm needing open water
I crave freedom and open space.
I'm needing to discover
I yearn for self-discovery.
All of the deep dark depths of me
I want to explore my innermost thoughts and emotions.
I'm needing to come up for air
I need moments of respite and relief.
I'm needing to not be so scared
I need to overcome my fears.
Of all that it means to be
Understanding the complexities of being.
On my own at sea
Facing challenges and solitude on my own.
I knew that it would be the hardest
I anticipated difficulties.
Didn't know that it would end up such a big mess
Unaware of the magnitude of the eventual chaos.
And here we are in your car at the aquarium
In a car at the aquarium, reflecting on the journey.
It's always bittersweet aint it
The experience is always a mix of joy and sorrow.
We get to see the beauty
Appreciating beauty within constraints.
But it's contained and tainted
Beauty is observed but confined and corrupted.
I'm needing open water
Yearning for open spaces and freedom.
I'm needing to discover
Desiring self-exploration and understanding.
All of the deep dark depths of me
Delving into the profound and hidden aspects of oneself.
I'm needing to come up for air
Seeking moments of relief and recovery.
I'm needing to not be so scared
Overcoming fears and anxieties.
Of all that it means to be
Understanding the challenges of existence.
Far away from all I knew
Far away from the familiar, embracing the unknown.
I'll wash away into the blue
Being immersed in the vastness of the sea.
Taking every memory
Letting go of every memory.
That time we showered on the beach
Recalling a shared intimate moment on the beach.
And the sun set on you and me
Reflecting on a sunset, a symbolic closure.
I'm needing open water
Yearning for freedom and open spaces.
I'm needing to discover
Continuing the quest for self-discovery.
All of the deep dark depths of me
Exploring the profound aspects of one's identity.
I'm needing to come up for air
Seeking moments of respite and recovery.
I'm needing to not be so damn scared
Struggling to overcome deep-seated fears.
Of all that it means to be
Understanding the complexities of existence.
On my own at sea
Facing challenges and solitude on one's own in the vast sea.
On my own at sea
Navigating challenges and solitude in the vast sea.
