Old Sea
Whispers of Redemption: A Soul's Plea to the Old Sea
Lyrics
I'm out of luck
Feeling unlucky or unfortunate
And he's out of Control
Someone else is in control, possibly a negative force
The God that failed now
A reference to a deity or higher power that has disappointed
Comes for my soul
The deity seeks the speaker's soul
And he lingers near
The deity is close by
I can feel his heat
Feeling the intense presence or influence of the deity
Oh please old sea heed this prayer for me
Requesting assistance or protection from the sea
If you hear me I can hide but I keep
Despite efforts to hide, the speaker is drawn back
Falling back to
Frequently returning to a state of dependency on the "Old Sea"
Old Sea
Reiterating the reliance on the sea for refuge
Do I need wisdom or do I need wine
Uncertain whether to seek wisdom or escape through intoxication
Cause mostly
Mainly
I have been looking but I've still been blind
Searching for answers but still lacking understanding
I can't take this feeling anymore
Expressing inability to endure the current emotional state
I'm out of luck I'm out of soul
Reiteration of being unlucky and spiritually drained
Oh please old sea
Appealing to the sea to immerse the speaker further
Drown me some more
Requesting to be overwhelmed by the sea
I'm out of time
Running out of time, feeling pressured
Cause he's in my mind
The negative force is persistently in the speaker's thoughts
The devil on my shoulder is the one that's kind
Acknowledging a devilish influence that seems benevolent
He stays with me
The devilish influence remains with the speaker
He sings for me
The devilish influence provides solace through music or song
Oh please old sea
Requesting the sea to instill belief or faith
Make me believe
Yearning for conviction in the devilish influence
That he's the one that's always helped me in
Believing that the devilish influence has always aided
getting back to
Returning to reliance on the "Old Sea"
Old sea
Expressing the ongoing need for the sea as a refuge
I need to get it right just that one time
An aspiration to correct things in a single instance
Maybe
Perhaps
That time may come when I turn sixty nine
Anticipating a moment of clarity or resolution at an old age
I can't control him anymore
Losing control over the negative force, it resides within
He lives within me I'm so sure
Certain of the negative force's presence within the self
Oh please old sea
Seeking cleansing or renewal from the sea
Wash me ashore
Requesting the sea to bring the speaker to safety
