Ocean Song
Embracing Life's Ebb and Flow at the Ocean's Edge
Lyrics
Let's go to the ocean and we'll see what happens
Expressing a desire to visit the ocean with an openness to whatever unfolds
Throw it all down, let the breezes hit you
Encouraging a carefree attitude, letting go of worries and enjoying the natural environment
I know what you need (Breathe in deep and we'll start it all over again)
Understanding the other person's needs, suggesting a fresh start through deep breaths
I sit on the sand bundled up in our blanket while you
Observing a personal moment on the beach, wrapped in a shared blanket
Drink in the strength of the waves and the roar of the world
Absorbing the power of the ocean waves and the chaotic nature of the world
Take it all in
Emphasizing the act of fully experiencing and embracing the surroundings
Take it all in
-Take it all in
-I'm here at the shore again feeling at war
Feeling conflicted or at odds while being at the shore
As the tide comes rushing in
Describing the influx of the tide, possibly mirroring turbulent emotions
Turbulent waters feed turbulent feelings
Connecting inner turmoil with the tumultuous waters, seeking direction
As I look for which way to turn
Expressing confusion and uncertainty, looking for a resolution
Was it you or was it me that started this silent feud?
Pondering the origin of a silent conflict and questioning responsibility
Will it resolve itself when the tide goes out?
Wondering if the issue will naturally resolve when circumstances change
Is it silly to feel this low?
Questioning the validity of feeling down in the given situation
The seagulls above me, the seals in blue water, the sand between my toes
Noticing natural elements (seagulls, seals, sand) offering reassurance
All tell me "don't worry" 'cause life's like the ocean
Interpreting life's challenges with an analogy to the constant ebb and flow of the ocean
It always ebbs and it flows
Reiterating the idea that life is dynamic and constantly changing
And I'm sailing away from you and I'm
Using sailing as a metaphor for navigating through challenges and returning
Sailing on in back to you
-Sail away
Repeating the desire to sail away, possibly indicating a need for distance
Sail away
-Let's go to the ocean (Here at the shore again)
Revisiting the initial scenario, encouraging the repeated act of embracing life's experiences
And we'll see what happens (Which way to turn?)
-I know what you need (Don't worry life ebbs and flows)
-I sit on the sand (So warm between my toes)
-The strength of the waves (Water comes rushing in)
-The roar of the world (Life always ebbs and flows)
-Take it all in
-Take it all in
-Take it all in
Reiterating the call to fully absorb and appreciate life's moments
