Pacific
Contemplating Continents: A Poetic Reflection on Love Across the Pacific
Lyrics
Look across the Pacific Ocean
Observing the expanse of the Pacific Ocean
It may be huge, but it's shrinking in size
Despite its vastness, it's diminishing
They say in several million years
Predicting a collision of continents in millions of years
Our continents will collide
The eventual merging of landmasses
We wouldn't be on opposite sides
Implies shared experience rather than opposition
On the tip of the Pacific Ocean
Contemplating the edge of the Pacific Ocean
If I could stand here long enough, you'd come into view
Hoping for a glimpse of someone
I could just watch the waves until I saw you ride one in
An anticipation to witness someone's arrival
But I've already been here too long, the sky is black and I'm blue
Feeling isolated and melancholic under the darkened sky
I didn't come here to run into you
Unexpected encounter not intended in this place
I opened my eyes in the salt water
Immersed in the sea, a disoriented feeling
It's like too much time, things are blurred and surreal
Sensory overload causing confusion and surreal perception of time
I think I used to be certain and now I don't know how I feel
Uncertainty about emotions and personal perceptions
I couldn't tell you what I feel
Unable to articulate emotions clearly
Look through the Pacific Ocean
Gazing through the Pacific's depth
The water is dark but not opaque
Water is not fully transparent, suggesting obscured feelings
Will I learn to see my feelings through it
Questioning the ability to understand one's emotions through introspection
How long will it take
Curiosity about the duration required for emotional clarity
Are there some changes I should make
Contemplating necessary personal changes for emotional insight
Something big is at stake
Suggesting significant consequences or high stakes involved
