Reflections by the Shore: Embracing Memories and Loss
Lyrics
Round about September when the coast is clear
Reflecting on life around September, a time of reflection.
I sit out on the shoreline with my rod and reel
Sitting by the shoreline with fishing equipment.
Stare across the ocean towards the setting sun
Contemplating life while looking at the ocean and the setting sun.
Put a sinker down and think about the man I have become
Using fishing as a metaphor to ponder personal growth.
And all the love I’ve lost along the way
Reflecting on lost love throughout the journey.
And all my friends who never made it back across these waves
Remembering friends who didn't survive life's challenges.
I wet a line and let it ride
Fishing, an activity to find solace and peace.
Pour a cold one in my cup
Drinking, possibly to cope with emotions or enhance the experience.
It might not look like fun when they ain’t biting none
Fishing may not seem enjoyable when not successful, but it serves a purpose.
But it’s enough to catch a buzz
Fishing serves as a way to find a sense of contentment or satisfaction.
Been casting off this old spot for twenty years
Continuing a long-standing tradition of fishing at the same spot.
My first fish and my first kiss I caught them here
Recalling significant memories of catching the first fish and experiencing the first kiss at the same location.
Me and my war bound buddies swore until we died
Swearing allegiance with friends, perhaps related to wartime experiences.
On this old shore I thank the lord they can’t see me cry
Expressing vulnerability and gratitude for privacy in emotional moments.
For all the love I’ve lost along the way
Reiterating the theme of lost love and departed friends.
For all my friends who never made it back across these waves
Emphasizing the impact of losing friends who couldn't overcome life's challenges.
I wet a line and let it ride
Continuing the act of fishing as a therapeutic activity.
Pour a cold one in my cup
Drinking as a part of the ritual, possibly for comfort.
It might not look like fun when they ain’t biting none
Highlighting the subjective nature of enjoyment in fishing.
But it’s enough to catch a buzz
Fishing serves as a means to achieve a state of contentment.
A couple sunsets on the coast will get it done
Suggesting that a few moments of solitude by the coast can provide clarity.
When I need time to be alone
Fishing as a way to be alone and reflect.
I wet a line and let it ride pour a cold on in my cup
Repeating the fishing and drinking ritual for comfort and peace.
It might not look like fun when they ain’t biting none
Reiterating that fishing may not be exciting without success, but it serves a deeper purpose.
But it’s enough to catch a buzz
Summarizing that fishing, despite its challenges, brings a sense of satisfaction or joy.
