Heavy Weather Sailing
Navigating Life's Storms: A Metaphor of Resilience
Lyrics
Against a wave
Facing a challenge or obstacle represented by a wave
Hove a 'til it's safe
Waiting or navigating cautiously until the situation is safe
Hove a 'til it's safe
Repetition emphasizing the need to navigate cautiously
Put the brakes on if you can
Applying brakes or slowing down if possible in the face of challenges
Weigh the world on a scale
Weighing the challenges or difficulties in life
Tell any story to suit you
Fabricating or altering stories to fit one's needs
Like Jonah swallowed the whale
Referencing the biblical story of Jonah to convey a struggle or challenge
Like Jonah swallowed the whale
Repetition emphasizing the magnitude of the struggle
We run our course, we run our course
Running the course of life
But the sea goes back and forth
Highlighting the cyclical nature of life like the ebb and flow of the sea
The sea goes back and forth
Repetition emphasizing the rhythmic and repetitive nature of life
There's a number high enough
Having a sufficiently large quantity or degree
Not too high count
Emphasizing the manageability of challenges within certain limits
Multiply without a limit
Expanding or facing challenges without any set boundaries
Time's already run out
Indicating that time has run out or is limited
Time's already run out
Repetition emphasizing the urgency of time running out
Heavy weather sailing, failing
Navigating through difficult situations or challenges, possibly failing
Heavy weather sailing
Repetition emphasizing the challenging nature of the journey
