Nevis
Journey of Love: Nevis, a Song of Longing and Distance
Lyrics
I can remember the Atlantic Ocean
I have memories of the Atlantic Ocean.
Think she remembers me
Wondering if the Atlantic Ocean remembers me.
Once I was static, now a man in motion
Previously static, now I am a man in motion.
She's always headed towards the sea
She, likely Nevis, always moves towards the sea.
She said, "I felt the waves crashing on me"
She expresses feeling waves crashing on her.
But I just felt her heart beating slowly
I, however, perceive her heart beating slowly.
And I let it control me
I allow her emotions to influence me.
Nevis, I'd travel the world to kiss your lips
Expressing willingness to travel the world to kiss Nevis's lips.
You don't have much but what you have is enough
Nevis doesn't possess much, but what she has is sufficient.
And that was more than I had
Her possessions surpass what I had.
Half a world away, you're still driving me mad
Despite being half a world away, Nevis continues to affect me strongly.
Nevis, I'd travel the world to kiss your lips
Reiteration of the willingness to travel for Nevis's kiss.
You don't have much but what you have is enough
Highlighting Nevis's contentment with what she has.
And that was more than I had
Again, emphasizing that Nevis's possessions exceed what I had.
Half a world away, you're still driving me mad
Despite distance, Nevis continues to drive me mad.

Repetition of the name "Nevis."
Nevis left me in the night
Nevis left during the night.
Said it was getting late, she was gonna miss her flight
Reason given: it was getting late, and she would miss her flight.
I said, "Stay, don't go. You're leaving me here alone."
Request to stay, expressing loneliness if she leaves.
Nevis left without saying goodbye
Nevis left without a proper goodbye.
But she said, "I felt the waves crashing on me"
Reiteration of feeling waves crashing on her.
But I just felt her heart beating slowly
Despite this, I feel her heart beating slowly.
And I let it control me
Once again, allowing her emotions to influence me.
Nevis, I'd travel the world to kiss your lips
Expressing the willingness to travel for Nevis's lips, rephrased.
You don't have much but what you have is enough
Acknowledging Nevis's modest possessions as sufficient.
And that was more than I had
Highlighting that what Nevis has is more than what I had.
Half a world away, you're still driving me mad
Despite distance, Nevis continues to evoke strong emotions.
Nevis, I'd travel the world to kiss your lips
Reiteration of the desire to travel for Nevis's kiss.
You don't have much but what you have is enough
Appreciating Nevis's contentment with what she has.
And that was more than I had
Again, emphasizing that Nevis's possessions exceed what I had.
Half a world away, you're still driving me mad
Despite distance, Nevis continues to have a significant impact on me.

-And I can feel the waves from here
