Lyrics
Well the soul rides
Well, the essence of a person travels
somewhere inside
Somewhere within
cause the body is a boat
Because the physical body is like a boat
and maybe mistakes
Perhaps errors or choices
were only made to make
Were meant to be experienced
but you better make a note
But it's crucial to take note
land ho, land ho,
Expressions of reaching a destination ("Land ho")
land ho, land ho
-now you?re filling up
Now emotions are rising
filling up with foam
Filling up with emotional turmoil
and no way to bail
No way to escape or release
yeah you?re filling up
Filled up, lost, and unable to return
no way to find yourself back home
-and there?s a hole in your pail
A metaphorical hole or emptiness
{CHORUS} and the wind kicks in
The intensity of emotional turmoil is likened to a howling gale
the way she loves to wail
-and it?s howling a gale
-it?s howling a gale
Reiteration of the emotional storm
water?s getting higher
The emotional state is reaching a critical point
up to the brim
-and you?re turning pale
-water?s getting higher
The overwhelming emotions are flooding in
and it?s all coming in
-and the wind begins to wail
Repetition of the emotional storm intensifying
{CHORUS}
-alone she stands on a pier
A person waits for love amidst the tumultuous emotions
waiting for her love to appear
-but the wind, she loves to wail
-{CHORUS}
Reiteration of the impact of the emotional storm
well the soul rides
Reiteration of the soul's journey within
deep inside
Deep within the core of the being
cause the body, she?s a boat
The body symbolized as a vessel
mistakes were made to make
-but you better take note
Mistakes are part of the human experience
better keep a float
Emphasizing the importance of staying afloat
{CHORUS}
Reiteration of the emotional storm and its impact
