Out To Sea
Sailing Towards Freedom: Unshackling from the Daily Grind
Lyrics
It's dark when I leave for work and dark when I return
Expressing the long working hours, leaving and returning in darkness.
Heavy eyes, dry throat and telephone burn
Physical and emotional exhaustion illustrated through heavy eyes and a burning telephone.
This is no kinda life for someone like me
Conveying dissatisfaction with the current way of life.
I'd rather be a sailor out upon the open sea
Expressing a desire for a different, more liberated life as a sailor at sea.
Out across the ocean, so far from the shore
Describing the vastness of the ocean and distance from the shore.
I leave the suits behind they don't control me anymore
Rejecting societal norms and control, leaving behind corporate suits.
With no obligations and the freedom to decide
Embracing freedom and the ability to make personal choices.
I just follow the winds and the flowing tide
Following natural elements like winds and tides.
I said away, hey, I'm going out to sea
Expressing the decision to go out to sea.
Some place they'll never find me
Seeking a place of solitude, away from others.
Away, hey, oh I wanna be
Reiterating the desire for freedom and individuality.
Free to be the man I wanna be
Desiring to be free and true to oneself.
Well I clock off in the morning at a quarter to five
Describing the routine of clocking off from work in the morning.
The sun rises too early in the summertime
Noting the early sunrise in summer, emphasizing the long working hours.
I sell my soul in exchange for food and wine
Symbolizing the sacrifice of personal well-being for basic needs.
Longing to escape this life of mine
Expressing a deep desire to escape the current life situation.
Well out across the ocean, living without a care
Portraying a carefree life across the ocean, with rum and wind.
Rum in my belly and the wind in my hair
Depicting a relaxed and enjoyable existence at sea.
Oh can't you see, this is how I wanna be
Affirming the preference for the carefree life at sea.
So raise the anchor, hoist the sails and set me free
Using nautical imagery to express the desire for freedom.
I said away, hey, I'm going out to sea
Reiterating the decision to go out to sea for solitude.
Some place they'll never find me
Emphasizing the desire to be in a place where others cannot find.
Away, hey, oh I wanna be
Restating the aspiration for freedom and self-expression.
Free to be the man I wanna be
Affirming the longing to be the true, authentic self.
I said away, hey, I'm going out to sea
Repeating the decision to go out to sea for personal liberation.
Some place they'll never find me
Stressing the importance of finding a place of isolation.
Away, hey, oh I wanna be
Reiterating the desire for freedom and individuality.
Free to be the man I wanna be
Affirming the longing to be the true, authentic self.
I said away, hey, I'm going out to sea
Repeating the decision to go out to sea for personal liberation.
Some place they'll never find me
Stressing the importance of finding a place of isolation.
Away, hey, oh I'm gonna be
Reiterating the decision to go out to sea for solitude.
Free to be the man I wanna be
Emphasizing the desire to be in a place where others cannot find.
Free to be the man I wanna be
Restating the aspiration for freedom and self-expression.
Free to be the man I wanna be
Affirming the longing to be the true, authentic self.
