Surf's up Tonight
Chasing Waves of Freedom: Midnight Oil's Coastal Odyssey
Lyrics
Wherever the wind blows
Reference to the unpredictable nature of life or events.
When it blows over the sea
When life's challenges or difficulties arise.
The moon's sitting high
The atmosphere is charged with energy and possibility.
Waves will rise
Symbolic of challenges or obstacles in life.
Water shapes
Life's experiences shaping one's character.
Waves will take you, take you there
Challenges guide and transport you to new experiences.
Surf's up tonight
An invitation or announcement of a lively and exciting time.
Summers on hold
Summer, a time of enjoyment, is currently on hold or disrupted.
It will go running away
Enjoyable moments may be fleeting or temporary.
You've gotta move now
Encouragement to take action or make a change.
Get inside
Suggests entering a new experience or taking a risk.
Take that dive
Encouragement to embrace a new, possibly challenging, experience.
Get inside today
Urgency to engage in the present moment or opportunity.
Surf's up tonight
Reiteration of the excitement and liveliness of the moment.
Now I was lonely
Reflection on a past state of loneliness.
And you were too
Suggests a shared experience of loneliness with someone else.
I met you down at the waterline
Meeting at the "waterline" symbolizes a connection at a crucial point.
Now there's something we can do
Expressing a shared opportunity or solution.
Now there's something left to do
Emphasizing the availability of options or choices.
Oh yeah
An affirmation of the positive outlook on the situation.
Surf's up tonight
Reiteration of the exciting and lively atmosphere.
Wherever you are
Encouraging action or participation regardless of one's location.
When you're coming over land
When approaching challenges or opportunities from a different direction.
There's a place where you can throw it away
A place to discard worries or burdens.
There's a place you can forget
A place to find peace or move beyond past issues.
You get wet, it's free
Positive transformation through engaging with life's challenges.
You get high, you're alive
Engaging with challenges brings a sense of vitality and purpose.
Surf's up tonight
Restating the excitement and vibrancy of the current moment.
Come on up tonight
Invitation or encouragement to join in the lively experience.
Surf's up tonight
Reaffirmation of the exciting atmosphere and the invitation to participate.
