Last Thing You Wanted
Breaking Waves of Liberation
Lyrics
Tide has got me spinning
The tide is causing a sense of disorientation or confusion.
Ocean spoke
The ocean communicates in some way, possibly metaphorically.
Lifting the weight that was adding up
Relieving the burden or pressure that was accumulating.
Though it may not exist
Doubt about the existence of something.
It grows on my shoulders
A non-existent burden seems to be growing on the speaker's shoulders.
And I wear it on my wrists
The burden is worn on the wrists, possibly symbolizing a visible struggle.
Ocean said to me
The ocean communicates again, claiming not to be broken but active and occupied.
I'm not a broken sea
Describing the ocean's state of constant motion.
I'm just barreling over myself to keep busy
The ocean's busy nature is an attempt to avoid being idle or stagnant.
More salt then you've ever seen
Emphasis on the vastness of the ocean (saltwater) compared to the speaker's experiences.
Mean but we'll clean you
The ocean's behavior may be harsh, but it promises cleansing.
Scream if you need to
Encouragement to express emotions, even through screaming.
Reach if you need me
An offer of support and assistance if needed.
Too much to think case cause your head and mouth to freeze
Overthinking can lead to mental and verbal paralysis.
Nobody knows what to say
People are unsure of what to say in certain situations.
We all just say it anyway
Despite uncertainty, people speak without restraint.
And live with that
Acceptance and living with the consequences of speech.
Last thing you wanted was a conversation
The undesirable outcome was a conversation.
You said you'd never have the words
A promise not to have the words for a conversation.
And you feel that this is your main frustration
Feeling that conversation is a major frustration for the speaker.
You could be singing like the birds
Suggesting an alternative way of expressing oneself, like singing.
Last thing you wanted was a conversation
Reiteration of the unwanted conversation.
You said you'd never have the words
Reiteration of the promise not to have the words for a conversation.
And you feel that this is your main frustration
Reiterating the frustration with conversation.
You could be singing like the birds
Reiterating the suggestion to express oneself through singing.
Ocean said to me
The ocean communicates a similar message again.
I'm not a broken sea
Reiteration of the ocean's state of constant motion.
I'm just barreling over myself to keep busy
The ocean is actively avoiding idleness.
More salt then you've ever seen
Emphasis on the vastness of the ocean.
Mean but we'll clean you
The ocean may be harsh, but it promises cleansing.
Scream if you need to
Encouragement to express emotions through screaming.
Reach if you need me
An offer of support and assistance if needed.
Too much to think case cause your head and mouth to freeze
Overthinking can lead to mental and verbal paralysis.
Nobody knows what to say
People are unsure of what to say in certain situations.
We all just say it anyway
Despite uncertainty, people speak without restraint.
And live with that
Acceptance and living with the consequences of speech.

Reiterating the frustration with conversation.
But now you're singing like the birds
Despite previous reluctance, the speaker is now singing like the birds.
OK go ahead and sing
An invitation or encouragement to sing.
