Harbour Boys
Harbour Boys' Echo: A Serenade to Life's Rollercoaster of Emotions
Lyrics
So much sadness on this earth
Expressing the prevalence of sadness in the world.
We get weary, we get hurt
Acknowledging weariness and emotional pain.
What we need is not for sale
Highlighting that what is truly needed cannot be bought.
So set your heart down on the rail
Suggesting vulnerability by advising to place the heart on the rail.
Leaving's just another way
Viewing leaving as a way to convey unspoken feelings.
To say the things we never say
Emphasizing the unspoken nature of certain emotions.
Walking in the autumn leaves
Setting a scene of walking in autumn leaves, possibly symbolizing change.
Let's get lost in record sleeves
Suggesting immersion in music by getting lost in record sleeves.
Sun goes down upon the bay
Describing the sunset over the bay.
Looking for somewhere to play
Searching for a place for recreation or expression.
I came here to bring the noise
Expressing the intent to make a significant impact or create excitement.
To the island girls and the harbor boys
Addressing and celebrating both island girls and harbor boys.
To the island girls and the harbor boys
-Racing to the finish line
Using a race metaphor to describe the passage of time.
We've been running, we've been flying
Highlighting the fast pace of life as the years go by.
Faster as the years roll by
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time.
Clouds are scrolling cross our sky
Observing the changing nature of life through cloud movements.
If we get held by higher powers
Suggesting that external forces may influence one's destiny.
It's only in the final hours
Speculating that such influence may occur towards the end of life.
After that we'll get some rest
Anticipating rest after facing life's challenges.
But until then let's make a mess
Encouraging spontaneity and chaos until reaching that point of rest.
Sun goes down upon the bay
Repeating the sunset motif over the bay.
Looking for somewhere to play
Continuing the search for a meaningful place or purpose.
I came here to bring the noise
Reiterating the intention to make a significant impact.
To the island girls and the harbor boys
Repeating the celebration of both island girls and harbor boys.
To the island girls and the harbor boys
-Soaking in a summer night
Immersing in the experience of a summer night.
Let me rage against the dying light
Expressing a desire to resist the inevitable decline of light.
Before the by and by
Anticipating a future moment.
I'll stand beneath a devastating sky above me
Facing challenges beneath a symbolic, overwhelming sky.
High above, I'll lose myself in everything I love
Finding solace and immersion in what is loved.
Before the night is through
Emphasizing the importance of the current moment before it passes.
My friends, I'll sing it now for you
Committing to express oneself for friends.
Sun goes down upon the bay
Repeating the sunset motif, emphasizing its significance.
Looking for somewhere to play
Continuing the quest for a meaningful space or purpose.
I came here to bring the noise
Restating the intention to make a significant impact.
To the island girls and the harbor boys
Concluding with a celebration of both island girls and harbor boys.
To the island girls and the harbor boys
