Paper Boats
Navigating Storms of Heartbreak: Paper Boats' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I've been waiting for some fresh air
I've been longing for a breath of fresh air, a change or relief.
I've been waiting for the storm to settle down
Waiting for a turbulent situation to calm down or settle.
I've been waiting for the calm breeze
Hoping for a peaceful and gentle breeze amidst difficulties.
Hope that you're still around
Desire for someone's continued presence or support.
I've been waiting for my big break
Anticipating a significant opportunity or success in life.
I've been waiting for the sun to shine on me
Hoping for a positive turn of events, waiting for happiness.
Sick and tired of the heartbreak
Fed up with emotional pain and disappointment.
Still fulfilling my own prophecy
Still working towards what was predicted or prophesied for oneself.
Man, oh man, I know I'm not asking for much
Expressing a humble desire despite the challenges faced.
Please understand, it's been a lot lately
Explaining the current burden or struggles experienced.
And man, oh man, this paper boat's starting to flood
Feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of breaking down (metaphorically).
Please understand, it's gotta get rough
Requesting understanding during tough times.
I'm sick and tired of the big waves
Tired of enduring significant challenges or difficulties.
I'm sick and tired of the rain pouring down
Exhausted with continuous hardships and negativity.
I'm getting restless, keeping at bay
Feeling unsettled and uncomfortable while waiting for change.
I'm getting nervous as the sails crash down
Becoming anxious and worried as hope diminishes.
The starboard's steady and the cardstock
Describing the stability and reliability of one side of the boat.
The stern is sinking and the bow begins to break
Indicating the weakening and vulnerability of another part of the boat.
Papercut and port side seasick
Referencing the small but painful issues faced during hardships.
Origami crumbles awfully quick
Expressing how fragile situations can quickly fall apart.
Man, oh man, I know I'm not asking for much
Reiterating the minimal request during challenging times.
Please understand, it's been a lot lately
Re-emphasizing the burden or weight of the current situation.
And man, oh man, this paper boat's starting to fly
Implies the boat (problems) is becoming uncontrollable and flying apart.
Please understand, it's gotta get rough
Asking for empathy during rough times.
I don't wanna be your safe bet
Declining to be someone's safe option, fearing future regret.
Cause then I'll end up being your biggest regret
Worried about being a decision someone might regret in the future.
The world keeps falling in love with me
Noticing that others are attracted to someone's suffering.
That's cause misery loves company
Commenting on how misery tends to find companionship.
Man, oh man, I know I'm not asking for much
Restating the modest request for understanding.
Please understand, it's gonna be a lot
Preparing oneself for a significant challenge or difficulty.
Down, oh down, this paper boat's starting to fly
Describing how the situation is escalating beyond control.
Please understand, it's gotta get rough
Requesting empathy during an expected tough phase.
In a horizon's I see beaches
Seeing potential for a better future or resolution.
In a day or two we might be safe ashore
Hopeful for a safe and secure outcome in a short period.
Paper boat, you get so lonely
Recognizing the loneliness in tough times but allowing resilience.
But you're welcome to stay on board
Inviting the idea of enduring hardships together.
