Lyrics

We're like a boat drifting

We're in a state of aimlessness or uncertainty, akin to a drifting boat.

In a lonely sea

Metaphorically, we are navigating through a desolate and isolating experience.

And the stars and moon

The celestial bodies, representing cosmic elements, are observing our situation.

Shine down on me

The luminous stars and moon illuminate the scene, possibly providing some guidance or insight.


Down, down the river we go

We continue on a journey down a river, facing challenges and uncertainties.

Holding on for dear life

We're desperately holding on to survive, clinging to the remnants of our situation.

To the last stick of the raft

The mention of the last stick of the raft emphasizes the precariousness of our situation.

For we do love

Despite the difficulties, love is the driving force that motivates our journey.


And he tried to be brave

Someone attempted courage in the face of challenges.

Through each and every tear

Despite tears and hardships, the attempt at bravery persists.

And the only warmth

The only source of warmth is the shared warmth of their bodies, implying a close connection.

Is the warmth of-their bodies

Emphasizing the emotional and physical closeness in the midst of a challenging journey.


We're like a boat drifting

A repetition highlighting the continuing sense of drift and uncertainty.

In a lonely sea

Reiterating the metaphor of navigating through a lonely and challenging sea.

And I start to cry

The emotional toll becomes evident, leading to tears.


I need nothing but you

A declaration of reliance on a significant other, expressing a need for their presence.

I wish I could be beautiful for you

An aspiration to be visually appealing or attractive for the significant other.

But I feel as shallow as steel

A personal feeling of superficiality, comparing oneself to something as shallow as steel.

No words are hollow enough

Expressing the inadequacy of words to fully convey the depth of emotions.

For how I feel.

Summarizing the intensity of emotions that are challenging to articulate adequately.
