Seven Seas
Navigating the Depths of Emotion: Macstanley's Seven Seas
Lyrics
Seven shades of evening blue
Describing various shades of evening blue, setting the scene.
The seven seas from me to you
Symbolizing the vastness and distance between the speaker and the listener as the "seven seas."
And all alone we lie tonight
Expressing a sense of loneliness or solitude in the present moment.
The oceans deep, the gulf is wide
Highlighting the depth of emotions ("oceans deep") and the challenges in the relationship ("gulf is wide").
We tried it
Describing attempts to change and improve the relationship, emphasizing the shared effort and desire for improvement.
We tried to change
-We tried it
-Shared the no for strange
-To make it
-To make it better
-So, let me sail away at sea
Expressing a desire for freedom and authenticity in the relationship, asserting individuality.
Let me be as I shall be
-Set me free, so you might see
-That you are you and I am me
-We searched through old familiar screens
Reflecting on shared experiences, possibly referring to overcoming challenges and making the relationship stronger.
And found it where two oceans meet
-We made it
-We made this day
-We made this bed on which we lay
-We might have
-Made it better
-So, let me sail away at sea
Reiterating the desire for personal freedom and emphasizing individual identities.
Let me be as I shall be
-Set me free, so you might see
-That you are you and I am me
-Let them spears, they must be
Acknowledging and accepting differences as a key to understanding each other.
We can't always just agree
-Where there's difference, there's a key
-'Cause you are you and I am me
-We tried it
Repeating the theme of trying to change and make things better in the relationship.
We tried to change
-We tried it
-Shared the no for strange
-To make it
-To make it better
-So, let me sail away at sea
Reiterating the plea for personal freedom and individuality in the relationship.
Let me be as I shall be
-Set me free, so you might see
-That you are you and I am me
-Let them spears, they must be
Emphasizing the importance of acknowledging differences as a key element in the relationship.
We can't always just agree
-Where there's difference, there's a key
-'Cause you are you and I am me
-Seven channels of evening news
Introducing the metaphor of "seven channels of evening news," possibly symbolizing the repetitiveness or lack of change in the world.
And nothing's changed, nothing's new
