Rough Waters
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Native Brew's 'Rough Waters' Reflection
Lyrics
The north winds are shifting
The direction of the north winds is changing.
Feels nothing like before
Current circumstances feel different from the past.
The tide's slowly rising
The tide is gradually increasing.
I'd best head back to shore
The speaker senses the need to return to safety.
As waves come down crashing
Waves are forcefully hitting a protective barrier.
Against the barrier wall
Emphasizes the impact of waves against a barrier.
Them foghorns are blowing
Foghorns are sounding as a warning signal.
A warning to us all
The warning is directed at everyone.
Ooh what I wouldn't give to be
The speaker expresses a desire for a different experience.
Adrift in a sea of serenity
The wish to be surrounded by tranquility.
A calm horizon
An image of a peaceful and stable future.
As far as one can see
A serene horizon stretching as far as one can see.
Uncomplicated
Describing a state of being straightforward and simple.
Unmoored, and floating free
Not anchored and freely drifting in the water.
Life's riptides keep pulling
Challenges or difficulties in life continually pull the speaker.
With that murky undertow
A reference to the persistent and unclear challenges.
But there ain't no quitting
Despite challenges, there is a determination to persevere.
No, this won't be my time to go
Asserting that this is not the speaker's time to face a dire situation.
