On the Beach
Eternal Drift: Discovering Love Amidst Wild Oleander
Lyrics
I see you every day
I observe your presence daily
Even if you don't come around
Even if you are not physically present
I look for you everywhere I go
I search for you everywhere I go
Wild Oleander
Wild Oleander (possibly a metaphor or symbol, open to interpretation)
Thank God I found you
Expressing gratitude for finding the subject
Wild motion spun me loose
Intense, unpredictable movement led me away
Out from the center
Out from the center, possibly referring to a departure from a central point or stability
Floated forever
Drifting aimlessly for an extended period
Floated right into you
Eventually drifting into the presence of the subject
Now I see you every day
Reiteration of seeing the subject daily
Even if you don't come around
Even in the absence of the subject
I look for you everywhere I go
Continued search for the subject
And I feel it all around
Sensation of the subject's presence all around
I feel it the most when I'm alone
Intense feeling, especially in solitude
It comes with me everywhere I go
This intense feeling accompanies the individual everywhere
So don't look so sad my darling Mary, I can change
Comforting the subject, expressing the ability to change
Yah I can separate the water from the waves
Asserting the ability to distinguish between essential and non-essential
As the constellations drift apart and lose their shape
Metaphorical reference to changing relationships
I wanted to say
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
That I would do it all again with you
Expressing willingness to repeat experiences with the subject
Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again
-Yah I would do it all again
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Oh I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it
-Oh I would do it all again
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
-Yah I would do it all again with you
Reaffirming the desire to go through experiences again with the subject
