Lyrics
When we left the shore
Departure from a starting point, possibly a place of safety or comfort.
It was a sunny day
Initial optimism or positive circumstances.
Far from the small and quiet bay
Moving away from a familiar and peaceful location.
Lightning struck the sky
Dramatic change in the weather, symbolizing a sudden and powerful event.
Asleep, we were sailing away
Unawareness or obliviousness during a critical moment.
I woke up and realized
Realization of a perilous situation.
We were now the ocean's pray
Becoming vulnerable or at the mercy of a greater force (ocean).
The sky was darkening
Further deterioration of circumstances, emphasizing darkness.
As the rain was falling
Intensification of challenges, represented by falling rain.
The waves were striking
Symbolic representation of the harshness of the situation.
As our boat was wrecking
Physical destruction of the vessel, paralleling emotional or personal wreckage.
"God! please protect our lives!"
Plea for divine intervention and protection.
The storms, just a few had survived
Survivors acknowledging the rarity of their escape from the storm.
When I looked around me
Surveying the aftermath and searching for remnants.
Boat remains, I had found
Discovery of the remains of the boat.
Not too far on the sea
Identification of wreckage not too far from the incident.
My friend's corpse who had drowned
Grim discovery of a friend's deceased body.
When we left the shore
Repetition of the initial departure, highlighting the tragic turn of events.
It was a sunny day
Recollection of the initial positive setting, contrasting with the current grim reality.
Our nice trip turned to gore
Transformation of a pleasant journey into a horrifying experience.
Far from the small and quiet bay
Reiteration of the distance from safety, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
The sun is rising
Symbolic representation of a new beginning, but tainted by the past events.
As the clouds are fading
Gradual improvement or clearing of difficulties.
The waves are settling
Calmness or resolution following a turbulent period.
As the wreckage is drifting
Continuation of the aftermath, with remnants drifting away.
