Driftwood
Vanishing Echoes: A Poetic Sea Escape
Lyrics
I just wanna disappear
I desire to vanish or escape
Return to the sea
To go back to the sea
Don’t come find me
Requesting not to be pursued
Driftwood, drift away
Comparing oneself to driftwood, wanting to drift away
I just wanna disappear
Repetition of the desire to disappear
Feet worship the sand
Expressing a connection to the earth, possibly seeking solace
Say you’ll find me
Asking for assurance of being found
You always know where I am
Confident that someone knows the whereabouts
I’m just watching these tears
Observing tears falling into the waves
Fall into the waves
Questioning if the person will find them
Will you find me?
Reiteration of the desire to drift away
Driftwood, drift away
Continuing the metaphor of being like driftwood
I just wanna disappear
Repetition of the desire to disappear
Never hurt again
Expressing a desire to avoid pain
Can you untie me?
Request to be freed or released
From this unforgiving world
Feeling trapped in an unforgiving world
I wake another day
Waking up to face another day
Return to the sea
Repeating the desire to return to the sea
Come and find me
Inviting someone to come and find them
I can’t bring myself to stand
Struggling to stand or face reality
I just wanna disappear
Repetition of the desire to disappear
When it’s too dark
Desiring disappearance when it's too dark
To shine a light in
When it's difficult to find hope or solutions
I breathe the salty air
Breathing in the sea air
I just wanna disappear
Repetition of the desire to disappear
Return to the sea
Reiterating the desire to return to the sea
Don’t come find me
Requesting not to be found
Driftwood, drift away
Continuation of the driftwood metaphor
I just wanna disappear
Repetition of the desire to disappear
Feet worship the sand
Connecting with the earth and sand
Say you’ll find me
Asking for assurance of being found
You always know where I am
Confident that someone always knows their location
More, More
Repetition, possibly emphasizing the desire to drift away
Driftwood, drift away
Repetition of the desire to drift away
More, More
-Driftwood, drift away
-More, More
-Driftwood, drift away
-More, More
Repetition, emphasizing the desire to drift away
Driftwood, drift away
Repetition of the desire to drift away
I just wanna disappear
Reiteration of the desire to disappear
Return to the sea
Repeating the wish to return to the sea
My love will never find me
Belief that love won't find them in their desired disappearance
Driftwood, drift away
Final repetition of the desire to drift away
