Desert Sea
Desert Sea: Love, Freedom, and Endless Roads
Lyrics
I was the sun, I was the only son
I used to be the center of attention, the only son.
Until I ran away and joined your band
I left my previous life and joined your group or relationship.
We hide out in the desert sea
We find refuge or solace in an expansive and seemingly endless place, symbolized as the desert sea.
You're my happy bivouac bomb pop baby
You, my beloved, bring me joy and happiness like a colorful frozen treat at a campsite.
We drive drive drive all day long
We travel continuously throughout the day.
Burn up all the gasoline, up to the sun
We use up all available resources, reaching toward ambitious goals.
In my dreams we're more than friends
In my imagination, our connection goes beyond mere friendship.
I wear your old clothes and the road trip never ends
I adopt your past experiences, and our journey together seems everlasting.
Come home I miss you so much
I yearn for your presence, expressing deep emotions.
Get off that highway as fast as possible!
An urgent plea to exit the fast-paced and potentially dangerous highway.
August 21, 2017
A specific date, possibly significant to the relationship.
I drove to you under the hot sun
I traveled to you on a scorching day.
With the seatbelt wrapped like an arm around my chest
The safety and closeness represented by a seatbelt wrapped around me.
You said "Before I aim, I want to touch it"
An intimate moment where a desire is expressed before taking action.
I didn't hold my breath when we fell out of the sky
I remained calm during a challenging situation, possibly a metaphorical fall.
For a minute and 51 seconds
A specific duration of a moment of shared experience.
I held your hand in the air above the land
A symbolic gesture of connection above the landscape.
And it became my everything as it split in two over my head
An impactful event that becomes a significant part of my life.
Now the point of all this is
The purpose or essence of all these experiences.
Is that I love you, and I mean it
A declaration of love, sincere and meaningful.
Island of two
An imagery of a secluded place, representing the intimacy of a shared space.
Brown and blue like the desert sea
The colors brown and blue symbolize the vastness and depth of their connection, akin to the desert sea.
Island of two
Reiteration of the imagery of an intimate space for just the two of them.
Island of you and me
Emphasis on the exclusivity and togetherness of the 'island.'
Keep driving, baby
A directive to continue the journey together.
