Albatross
Drifting Tides: Nat Lefkoff's Albatross Echoes Life's Ebb and Flow
Lyrics
All of this water's gonna wash me away
All the overwhelming emotions or situations will eventually overpower and consume me.
Let's find us some shelter, escape from the rain
Let's search for a place of safety or refuge to escape from difficulties.
Tell me what's changed and what's stayed the same
Inquire about what has changed and what has remained constant in our situation.
I've been calling and calling and calling your name
I've been persistently trying to get your attention or contact you.
Make me a drifter
Transform me into someone who drifts or wanders aimlessly.
Make me an albatross
Turn me into an albatross, a symbol of burden or an omen at sea.
Make the ocean it crosses
Make me part of the vast ocean that stretches and connects different places.
You're the west coast
You represent the western coast, possibly symbolic of stability or a known reference point.
You're the growing up
You symbolize maturity or the process of growing up.
Haven't I grown enough?
Questioning if I've matured or changed enough.
Whatever it is
Irrespective of the issue, I'm willing to let it go or give it up.
Just take it from me
Just accept my advice or perspective.
Take it from me
Accept this advice or perspective from me.
We never had time
We never had enough time for something meaningful; it faded away.
It just burned out
A relationship or something significant simply faded or extinguished.
Well I hope that you're fine, that you're fine
I hope you're doing well and that you discover certain truths or realities.
That you find out
I hope you come to realize something important.
Drifting away while you stare at the shoreline
Slowly moving away while you focus on what's familiar (shoreline).
The heart is a bass drum, it beats inside your mind
The heart symbolizes emotions; it pulsates strongly within your thoughts.
Fight it or feed it or do what the sea did
Decide whether to resist or nurture your emotions, similar to how the sea behaves.
It took what it touched 'till that high tide receded
The sea erodes and takes away, similar to emotions consuming until they lessen.
And it's still going out, it's still going out
The emotional tide is receding but still ongoing.
It's still going out
The process of emotions fading away continues.
Make me a drifter
Transform me into someone who drifts or wanders aimlessly.
Make me an albatross
Turn me into an albatross, a symbol of burden or an omen at sea.
Make me the ocean it crosses
Make me part of the vast ocean that stretches and connects different places.
Whatever it is
Irrespective of the issue, I'm willing to let it go or give it up.
Just take it from me
Just accept my advice or perspective.
Take it from me
Accept this advice or perspective from me.
We never have time
We never had enough time for something meaningful; it faded away.
We just burn down
A relationship or something significant simply faded or extinguished.
But things will be fine, we'll be fine
I hope things will be alright, and we will eventually understand.
We'll all find out
We'll all eventually discover certain truths or realities.
