Down the Stream
Navigating Life's Currents: A Poetic Journey by Swear I Love You
Lyrics
Sitting in the sand while the storm is going on.
Sitting in the sand during a storm, finding solace.
Better than a shower, freezing brain under the rain.
Choosing the storm over a shower, embracing the challenges and cold thoughts in the rain.
Scratching in the ground, digging deep under the tombs, feeling home.
Engaging in introspective activities, digging beneath the surface, feeling a sense of belonging.
Playing on the tape trying hard to leak us out.
Playing a recording, attempting to reveal hidden aspects of oneself.
Living on the edge, up the cliffs that never change.
Living on the edge of uncertainty, on unchanging cliffs.
Watching behind time, while waiting for the weather to be kind.
Reflecting on the past while patiently waiting for better times.
Hey you ! Where have you hide,
Questioning someone's whereabouts, seeking truth after a prolonged absence.
don't tell me lies, it's been a while
Expressing skepticism about receiving truthful answers after a significant time gap.
that you sail down on the stream,
Referencing a journey down a stream, a metaphor for searching for deeper meanings.
looking for meanings, watching stars.
Actively seeking understanding and contemplating existence while stargazing.
Turning on the way that you swam the other day.
Reflecting on a past experience and its impact on the present journey.
Breathing in between, drowning low under the peal.
Surviving and reflecting in difficult situations, submerged beneath the weight of challenges.
Growing nails and beards that wisdom's giving us out of fear.
Gaining wisdom through hardship, expressed metaphorically as growing nails and beards.
Hey you ! Where have you hide,
Repeating the question about someone's whereabouts, emphasizing the importance of honesty.
don't tell me lies, it's been a while
Reiterating skepticism about receiving truthful information after a prolonged absence.
that you sail down on the stream,
Continuing the metaphorical journey down the stream, searching for meaning and observing stars.
looking for meanings, watching stars.
Persisting in the quest for understanding and introspection through stargazing.
Hoping for the holy light, holy light, it's all right.
Expressing hope for enlightenment or revelation, acknowledging that everything will be alright.
Leaving off the beloved one, don't bring you higher, don't bring you more.
Letting go of a loved one, recognizing that detachment doesn't necessarily elevate or bring more.
