Lyrics
I know
I am aware
You are across
You are distant
This ocean
Referring to the emotional distance as an ocean
That I can't swim
Expressing inability to navigate or overcome the emotional gap
So tell me how
Asking for guidance on how to
How can I void
How to overcome
The distance
Refers to the emotional separation
The distance in between
Describing the emotional gap
Look
A command to pay attention
Look at me
A plea to be noticed
Can't you see
Highlighting the personal struggle
That I'm drowning
Metaphor for emotional suffocation
I'm Drowning
Reiteration of the drowning feeling
All this time
Refers to the duration of waiting
I've been waiting
Waiting for communication or connection
For your message
Desire for a message from the distant person
For the ship
Symbolic reference to a ship bringing salvation
To take me home
Desire to be taken back to a place of comfort
Into your arms
Longing for physical closeness
Once more
A plea to be reunited
I know
Reiteration of understanding the other's waiting
You're waiting for me
Acknowledgment of the other's patience
But I just can't
Expression of personal struggle to reach
Make it through
Difficulty in overcoming obstacles
So tell me how
Request for guidance in crossing the emotional distance
How can I cross
How to bridge the emotional gap
The distance
Emphasizing the emotional separation
The distance in between
Describing the emotional gap
All this time
Repetition of waiting and yearning
I've been waiting
Continued anticipation for communication
For your message
Desire for a message from the distant person
For the ship
Symbolic reference to a ship bringing salvation
To take me home
Desire to be taken back to a place of comfort
Into your arms
Longing for physical closeness
Once more
A plea to be reunited
Sink
Mention of sinking, possibly indicating desperation
Save me
A plea for rescue
Save me
Repetition of the plea for help
Save me now
An urgent plea for immediate assistance
