Ocean Bottom
Navigating the Depths: Turmoil and Discovery at Sea
Lyrics
Lost at ship on the open sea
Feeling lost and adrift on the open sea, symbolizing a sense of aimlessness or confusion.
Useless map, no heading
Having a map that provides no direction, emphasizing the futility of guidance or a plan.
Broken compass, ship with holes
Facing challenges with a broken compass and a ship with holes, indicating difficulties and obstacles.
Water coming in with my broken soul
Metaphorically, water entering the ship represents emotional pain affecting the soul.
How did I get here? Why did I leave?
Questioning the decision to leave and reflecting on how the current situation was reached.
How long has it been since shore was seen?
Wondering about the time elapsed since last seeing a stable and secure place.
It's closing in, I can see it now
Sensing impending danger or challenges closing in.
And I've come to terms with how this works out
Acceptance of the inevitability of the situation and its outcome.
Come to terms with how this works out
Reiteration of coming to terms with the unfolding circumstances.
You display your love like a light in front of you face
Describing the expression of love as a guiding light, possibly deceptive or manipulative.
To lure me out of my darkened
Referencing a darkened hiding place, suggesting a retreat or escape from difficulties.
Hiding place
Implying a lure out of hiding through the display of love.
When I get close to you I see your jagged teeth
Close proximity reveals the hidden flaws or dangers represented by jagged teeth.
By then it's far too late and then I'm
Once close, it becomes too late, and one is metaphorically devoured or consumed.
Devoured
Describing the other person as a perfect predator, emphasizing their effectiveness.
Perfect predator
Highlighting the predatory nature as continuously evolving and adapting.
Evolved over and over
Symbolizing acceptance or gratitude in the face of inevitable demise.
Swallow my flesh then
Metaphorically, the predator consumes the speaker, taking their last breath.
Grateful it's my last breath
Acceptance of the situation, acknowledging that swimming through the veins is part of the experience.
It's okay I swim through your veins
Repetition of the acceptance theme, reinforcing the inevitability and natural aspect of the circumstances.
It's okay I swim through your veins
Emphasizing the natural and unavoidable nature of the experience.
It's natural
Stating that no one is to blame for the predicament.
It's natural
Reiteration of the naturalness of the situation, possibly emphasizing fate.
No one is to blame
Affirming that there is no specific person at fault for the challenges faced.
No one is to blame
Reiterating that blame is not assigned, underscoring a sense of acceptance and resignation.
