Washed out to Sea
Scattered Ashes: A Tale of Departure
Lyrics
She's out and back
She has left and returned.
She's looking for the matches
She's searching for a connection or ignition.
We built our own logic
Together, they established their own reasoning or understanding.
And now we scatter it's ashes
Now they've separated, leaving remnants behind.
We dropped a feather from the eighty-first floor
They let go of a feather from a great height, observing its descent.
And watched it swing down to the world below
Witnessing the feather's fall towards the world below.
Such a long, slow fall
It's a prolonged and gradual descent.
Washed out to sea
Metaphorically, they are carried away by the currents of life.
Yeah, you're so far from me
The distance between them has become substantial.
Oh oh oh oh whoa.
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
Oh oh oh oh whoa.
-Oh oh oh.
-Arrival and departures
Experiences of arrivals and departures are familiar to them.
Yeah, we know them so well
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
Oh, from sleeping and dreaming
These experiences include moments of sleeping and dreaming.
On a baggage carousel
Comparing these experiences to a baggage carousel, suggesting routine.
We know every step and every crack
Familiarity with every step and imperfection in their journey.
Every sea leading to the flat
Knowing every path leading to their destination.
Every common trail circling back back back
Repeatedly encountering common situations that bring them back.
Washed out to sea
Continuation of the metaphor of being carried away by the sea.
And you're so far from me
Emphasizing the increasing distance between them.
Yeah, we get washed out to sea
Reiteration of being swept away by the sea's currents.
And you're so far from me
Reaffirming the significant distance between them.
From me
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
From me
-Yeah you're so so far now
Expressing the profound and growing separation.
So far now
Further emphasizing the distance.
You're so far, so far now
Repetition of the theme of increasing distance.
Ooh
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
You're washed out to sea
Final repetition of being carried away by the sea.
And now your so far, so far from me, from me yeah yeah
Reaffirmation of the vast separation between them.
From me yeah
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
Ooh.
