Open Sea
Navigating the Depths of Love: 'Open Sea' by Medicine Boy
Lyrics
Lost my mind in the open sea
Experiencing a mental or emotional breakdown in a vast, metaphorical "open sea."
Found you there looking back at me
Discovering someone (possibly a significant other) facing them in the midst of challenges.
All my troubles melted in your hands
Finding solace and relief as the person's presence helps alleviate troubles.
Followed you down to see where you go
Choosing to follow the person to understand their actions and connections.
What do you do and who do you know
Curious about the person's activities and social circle.
Followed you through the walls and into the floor
Intensely pursuing the person, metaphorically through walls and into the floor.
In my heart I’ve tried for so long
Struggling to maintain emotional stability and strength in the heart.
To keep it together keep it all strong
Facing the challenge of keeping everything intact and resilient.
But sometimes there’s always something besides the inside
Acknowledging that external factors sometimes affect inner emotions.
You drew a cross on my head
Symbolic act of protection or guidance with the cross drawn on the head.
Told me not to walk but to run instead
Advising to move quickly and avoid potential harm.
You told me that I’d know when the feeling drops
Assuring that intuition will guide when certain emotions surface.
Feeling high
Expressing a range of emotions and experiences, from highs to lows, fast to slow, and changes in mood or circumstances.
Feeling low
-Moving fast
-Going slow
-Feeling better
-Feeling quick
-Change in the weather
-Feeling sick
-You say you’re tired of being alone so you just make up your mind
Describing someone tired of solitude but, upon deciding, prefers being alone.
But now your mind is made up you just want to be alone all the time
Highlighting the contradiction of desiring company initially but then seeking solitude consistently.
I’ve been looking for you creature since God only knows when
Searching for an elusive figure, possibly representing an ideal partner or fulfillment.
But all that I found was a trail of broken women and men
Finding a trail of broken relationships in the pursuit of that ideal figure.
Lost my mind in the open sea
Reiteration of losing oneself in the vast challenges of life.
Found you there looking back at me
Rediscovering the person in the midst of struggles.
All my troubles melted in your hands
Experiencing comfort as troubles dissolve in the person's hands.
Your hands
Emphasizing the significance and impact of the person's hands in providing solace and support.
Your hands
-Your hands
-Your hands
-Your hands
-Your hands
