Lines on Shore
Navigating Life's Tides: Wisdom in 'Lines on Shore' by Jesse Marchant
Lyrics
Keep your lines on the shore
Advising to maintain boundaries and not cross certain limits or risks.
Carry on in the life you know
Continue living the familiar, established life.
Where you're more like your own
Emphasizing being true to oneself, retaining individuality.
When the lights fade
When situations dim or become less clear.
In the noon of now and then
Between the past and present, possibly denoting a transitional phase.
Hanging on by a thread
Holding on precariously or barely managing a situation.
Things get let go of
Releasing attachments or allowing things to be relinquished.
And moments eclipse
Intense moments overshadowing or surpassing others.
That full moon
The impact of a full moon, potentially symbolizing illumination or clarity.
Don't it light to you alone
Questioning if the moonlight guides only one individual.
In the weather that sails you
Metaphorically referring to the circumstances directing one's life.
The farther and farther to slip
Gradually moving further away from something, losing grip or connection.
Time don't it weigh on your heart
The passing of time causing emotional burden or heaviness.
End of plan
Conclusion or end of a plan or idea.
Well I was long before it
Being involved or affected long before a particular event or situation.
In the sand
Possibly referring to something written or created in the sand.
Stolen far and away
Something taken or removed a considerable distance away.
In the black night of all of this folly
Being amidst a dark or challenging time due to foolishness or mistakes.
Caroline
A name, potentially indicating a person connected to the narrative.
