Lyrics
I lit the sky on fire
I ignited the sky, creating a vibrant display.
To burn the water down
Intending to extinguish the water, possibly symbolizing troubles or emotions.
Paper boats with a lighter
I used a lighter to set paper boats afloat.
Melt cotton candy clouds
Melting imaginative clouds resembling cotton candy.
Insomnia, all nighter
Experiencing insomnia, staying awake all night.
A clock that makes no sound
Referring to a silent clock, suggesting a timeless or uneventful state.
The sky keeps getting brighter
The sky is becoming brighter, contrasted with a sense of absence.
But you're nowhere to be found
Despite the brightness, the person being sought is not present.
So I'll swim to the horizon line
Expressing a determination to reach the horizon line through swimming.
Breathe you in deep and drown tonight
Wishing to immerse in the other person and metaphorically drown.
I'm in search of paradise
In pursuit of an ideal place, possibly symbolizing happiness or fulfillment.
Where the ocean meets the sky
An image of the meeting point between the ocean and the sky.
So come down to me
An invitation for the sought person to come down.
Let our love ring like a thunderstorm
Desiring love to be intense and powerful, like a thunderstorm.
I'm lost at sea
Feeling lost and adrift in the vastness of the sea.
Cold water, but you keep me warm
Despite the cold surroundings, the person provides warmth.
My day, my dream
Referencing personal experiences, dreams, and aspirations.
I'm sinking in the undertow
Sinking into a difficult situation or emotional struggle.
So, gravity
Calling upon gravity to lead to a celestial meeting point.
Bring me where the heavens meet the sea
Yearning for a place where the divine and the sea converge.
I'll trade my lungs for fish gills
Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices for a transformed existence.
My arms for seagulls' wings
Willing to trade physical attributes for freedom and flight.
I'll bathe in oil tank spills
Acceptance of unconventional experiences and embracing the discarded.
And eat forgotten things
Openness to consuming overlooked and unconventional aspects of life.
I think my heart's a windmill
Describing the heart as a mechanism fueled by the breath of the beloved.
That runs on your breathing
Linking the speaker's vitality to the presence of the other person.
Life is a beast I must kill
Life is portrayed as a challenge to be conquered, with death as a reward.
And dying makes me king
Paradoxically, finding empowerment and kingship in facing mortality.
So I'll swim to the horizon line
Repeating the determination to reach the horizon and submerge in the beloved.
Breathe you in deep and drown tonight
Reiterating the desire to embrace the other person and surrender completely.
I'm in search of paradise
Continuing the quest for an ideal, perhaps elusive, state of existence.
Where the ocean meets the sky
Revisiting the imagery of the meeting point between the ocean and the sky.
So come down to me
Inviting the sought person to join in the pursuit of love and fulfillment.
Let our love ring like a thunderstorm
Expressing the desire for love to be intense and resonant like a thunderstorm.
I'm lost at sea
Reiterating the feeling of being lost and surrounded by the vast sea.
Cold water, but you keep me warm
Acknowledging the comforting warmth provided despite challenging circumstances.
My day, my dream
Reemphasizing personal experiences, dreams, and aspirations.
I'm sinking in the undertow
Highlighting the struggle and sinking sensation in life's challenges.
So, gravity
Seeking the force of gravity to guide towards a celestial union.
Bring me where the heavens
A final plea to be led to a transcendent space where the heavens and the sea meet.
