Leaving the Harbor
Navigating Life's Depths: Embracing Uncertainty and Finding Home
Lyrics
When you are leaving the harbor
Contemplating departure from a safe place or situation.
Do you cry out to the shore?
Expressing emotions or seeking connection as you leave.
Do you bless the wave of the ocean
Reflecting on the vastness and power of the ocean.
Do you call your vessel home?
Questioning the concept of home in the context of a vessel.
As you leave the safest harbor
Pondering the uncertainty of the journey ahead.
Do you wonder where you'll go?
Curiosity about the destination and future.
When you feel your bough is breaking
Feeling vulnerable and questioning one's stability.
Do you call that harbor home?
Exploring the idea of finding a home in challenging moments.
When you sing the lullaby
Examining the motivation behind singing a lullaby.
Do you sing it for the song?
Questioning whether the song is sung for its content or the act itself.
Or do you love the way it slides
Appreciating the sensory experience of singing.
Like velvet 'cross your tongue?
Describing the smooth and pleasant feeling of singing.
And as you sing the lullaby
Considering the significance of each line in a lullaby.
Do you savor every line?
Wondering if the lines of the lullaby are individually cherished.
Or do they flow as one with your heartbeat
Connecting the lullaby to one's internal rhythms and emotions.
With your voice and your mind?
Exploring the unity of the lullaby with personal experiences.
If you turn the light out in the hallway
Contemplating the impact of darkness on perception and identity.
Will your shadow lose its way?
Questioning the stability of one's identity in the absence of light.
Or do we share these shadows in the darkness
Considering shared experiences and their transient nature.
And they move from place to place?
Exploring the movement and adaptability of shared shadows.
We could share a shadow in the darkness
Highlighting the anonymity of shadows.
As shadows have no face
Emphasizing the facelessness and universality of shadows.
But should you sell our soul to the darkness
Raising a cautionary note about compromising one's integrity.
Can you face the light of day?
Considering the consequences of unethical choices.
When you are leaving the harbor
Revisiting the theme of departure and the emotional impact.
Do you cry out to the shore
Expressing emotions or seeking connection during departure.
Oh, do you bless the wave of the ocean?
Repeating the contemplation of the vastness of the ocean.
Do you call your vessel home?
Reiterating the question of finding a home in the journey.
Oh, do you bless the wave of the ocean?
Repeating the blessing of the wave, possibly indicating significance.
Do you call your vessel home?
Reiterating the question of the vessel as home.
