Carton in the Waves
Echoes of Abandoned Purpose
Lyrics
I'm a carton in the waves
I am a discarded container in the ocean waves.
I've been standing here all day
I've been in this place for an extended period.
And I guess right now
At this moment, it seems that I will remain here.
That I am here to stay
Indicating a sense of permanence in the current location.
I'm a carton in the waves
Reiteration of being discarded in the waves due to pollution.
Pollution, as they say
Referring to the pollution as the reason for being abandoned.
Left out here to slowly waste away
Expressing the slow deterioration of the container.
I served your purpose well
Acknowledging that the container served its purpose effectively.
And now you left me like a shell
Feeling abandoned now that the purpose has been fulfilled.
No crustacean will ever hide in me
Emphasizing that the container is now empty and unusable.
I served your purpose well
Reiterating the effective fulfillment of the container's purpose.
And from what I now can tell
Reflecting on the longevity of the container's presence in the environment.
I'll be here for at least a century
Anticipating a continued existence for at least a century.
'Cause you left me behind
Expressing a feeling of being left behind and abandoned.
It didn't cross your mind
Highlighting the lack of consideration for the discarded container.
Just what you wasted
Stating that what was discarded was not fully understood or appreciated.
You just erased it
Indicating a careless erasure of the container's significance.
And I'll be here until my dying day
Committing to remaining in the environment until death.
As living proof of all the mess you made
Being a tangible reminder of the environmental damage caused.
Your carton in the waves
Reiteration of being a discarded container in the waves.
