Lyrics

Sailing to a distant port

Sailing towards a distant destination.

To meet your reflection on some desert shore

Expecting to encounter reflections of oneself in an isolated, barren area.

Running up the coast

Advancing along the coastline.

I walk through a mirror and out of your ghost

Transitioning from being immersed in memories or visions of someone to breaking free from their influence.


Hide you not seek you or flee here I must

Avoiding or evading someone, not searching for them, or escaping a situation.

Before you can melt down my iceberg of trust

Protecting oneself from having trust broken or being emotionally vulnerable.


Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Memories or remnants of the past are holding onto darkness or negativity.

Melting ice leaves nowhere to go

The thawing of emotional barriers leads to feeling trapped or directionless.


Sailing to a distant port

Repetition of line 1, emphasizing the journey to an unspecified faraway place.

To meet your reflection on some desert shore

Repetition of line 2, reinforcing the idea of encountering oneself in a desolate setting.

I tried to keep your heart

Attempting to retain or hold onto someone's emotions.

Burning down bridges to break from the past

Destroying connections with the past in an attempt to move forward.


Hide you not seek you or flee here I must

Similar to line 6, avoiding or escaping.

Before you can melt down my iceberg of trust

Protecting oneself from emotional vulnerability.


Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Memories or remnants of the past continue to hold onto darkness or negativity.

Pouring light on ancient shipwrecks

Illuminating old tragedies or hardships.

Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Repeat of line 20.

Melting ice leaves nowhere to go

Thawing emotional barriers leads to feeling directionless or trapped.


Driving through the rain

Traveling in challenging conditions, possibly sacrificing something for uncertain gains.

I sell all my wishes to play the odd game

Exchanging hopes or dreams for unpredictable risks.


Hide you not seek you or flee here I must

Similar to lines 6 and 17, avoiding or escaping.

Before you can melt down my iceberg of trust

Protecting oneself from emotional vulnerability.


Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Memories or remnants of the past continue to hold onto darkness or negativity.

Melting ice leaves nowhere to go

The thawing of emotional barriers leads to feeling trapped or directionless.


Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Similar to lines 20 and 22, memories of the past holding onto darkness or negativity.

Pouring light on ancient shipwrecks

Shining light on past tragedies or hardships.

Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Repeat of line 34.

Pouring light on ancient shipwrecks

Repeat of line 35.

Passing clouds hold on to shadows

Repeat of line 34.

Melting ice leaves nowhere to go

The thawing of emotional barriers leads to feeling trapped or directionless.
