The Tide
Embracing the Ebb: Love's Dance Beyond Me
Lyrics
Swim where it is shallow
Expressing the idea of staying in a safe and predictable environment, avoiding risks.
Go to the gallows with your lover
Suggesting facing consequences, even severe ones, with your romantic partner.
Not with me
Declining personal involvement in such risky or challenging situations.
Sing songs of forever
Encouraging the expression of eternal love through music.
Say something clever to your lover
Encouraging clever and meaningful communication with a romantic partner.
Not to me
Declining a desire for such clever expressions directed at the speaker.
And every single day I've felt the tide
Expressing a recurring emotional experience, possibly of being overwhelmed or influenced by external forces.
Take your secret lesson
Encouraging the sharing of personal lessons or experiences discreetly.
Make your confession to your lover
Encouraging the act of confessing secrets to a romantic partner.
Not to me
Declining the desire for such confessions directed at the speaker.
Write your poems and verses
Encouraging the creation of romantic and expressive poetry.
Spit all your curses at your lover
Expressing a disinterest in receiving curses or negativity from the partner.
Not at me
Declining negative expressions directed at the speaker.
And every single day I've felt the tide
Reiteration of the emotional impact of external influences, possibly representing the tide of emotions.
Buy baubles and dresses
Encouraging the purchase of material possessions and saving affection for the romantic partner.
Save your caresses for your lover
Expressing a disinterest in receiving such affection from the partner.
Not for me
Declining romantic gestures or physical expressions from the partner.
Drink hearty and revel
Encouraging indulgence and celebration, but not with the speaker.
Go to the devil with your lover
Suggesting engaging in negative or destructive behavior with the romantic partner.
Not with me
Declining involvement in such destructive activities with the partner.
And every single day I've felt the tide
Reiteration of the recurring emotional experience, possibly signifying the persistence of external influences.
Every single day I felt the tide
Repetition of the emotional impact, emphasizing its regular occurrence.
