Seashells
Echoes of Life: Seashells' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Far beyond and deep below
Expressing a distant and profound place, possibly metaphorical, not known by most people.
not any group you'd care to know
Referring to a group of people that may not be socially desirable or well-regarded.
but I remember them so well
Recalling memories of the mentioned group, suggesting a personal connection or experience.
they were perfect like seashells
Comparing the remembered group to perfection, using seashells as a metaphor for their beauty and flawlessness.
so, were going back tonight she declared
A declaration to return to that distant place or memory.
don't stray too far from home my little bear
A cautionary statement, advising someone to stay close to home.
cause what names you read however high you climb
Warning that no matter how successful or high one climbs, there will be setbacks or challenges.
you'll get pushed down
Highlighting the inevitability of facing obstacles or opposition.
I get worried yeah
Expressing concern or anxiety.
Life is short my friend
A reminder of the brevity of life.
feel it slipping on by
Sensing time passing quickly.
like the ocean tide on a summer's night
Using the metaphor of the ocean tide to convey the passage of time.
we bleed into sky
Symbolizing a blending or merging with the vastness of the sky.
He sang a simple tune just for you
Describing a singer performing a simple song for someone.
though no one seemed to care I heard it too
Noticing a lack of attention from others, despite the singer's effort.
and as the band left for the hotel
Narrating the departure of a band for their lodging.
they were soaring like seagulls
Comparing the band's departure to the graceful flight of seagulls.
so before you're up and Im far away
Reflecting on the impermanence of relationships before separation.
what's left are all the words we never to say
Regret over unspoken words, implying missed opportunities for communication.
however hard we tried to bend the rules
Acknowledging attempts to bend rules but realizing it may lead to more pain than expected.
the less the hurt the more the fool
Suggesting that minimizing pain may result in increased foolishness.
Cause I get worried yeah
Reiteration of worry or concern.
Life is short my friend
Repeating the message about the fleeting nature of life.
feel it slipping on by
Reiterating the feeling of time slipping away.
like the ocean tide on a summer's night
Reemphasizing the metaphor of the ocean tide to illustrate the passage of time.
we bleed into sky
Reinforcing the idea of blending into the vast expanse of the sky.
I get worried yeah
Reiteration of worry or anxiety.
Life is short my friend
Repeating the message on the briefness of life.
feel it slipping on by
Reiterating the sense of time slipping away.
like the ocean tide on a summer's night
Reemphasizing the metaphor of the ocean tide as a symbol for the passing of time.
we bleed into sky
Final reinforcement of the idea of merging with the sky, possibly signifying transcendence or continuity.
