Lyrics
It's a bit like drowning
Feeling overwhelmed or submerged in a situation
Staring across a busy room at you
Looking at someone in a crowded room
But you're ten miles away
Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected
Flying around above the ocean blue
Metaphorical image of being free and soaring
A force of nature
Describing the person as a powerful and untouchable force
Nothing can touch your white feathers
Symbolizing purity and strength with white feathers
The stars and planets
Suggesting a sense of cosmic connection
Are calling to you in this crowded room
Feeling a call from the universe amidst a crowded environment
But you're already up there
Already being emotionally detached and elevated
From your chair to the open skies
Moving from a confined space to an expansive, open environment
It's a 4/4 rhythm
Referring to a musical rhythm, possibly symbolizing life's structure
But you never found a way to keep in time
Struggling to conform to societal expectations of timing
You've got a blue blue ribbon
Using a blue ribbon as a facade to conceal emotional pain
Trying to disguise your sad brown eyes
Trying to hide sadness behind a disguise
You can spend a lifetime
Reflecting on the time spent living a false version of oneself
Playing a version of the real girl
Creating a persona to cope with societal expectations
Little paths through the thickets
Metaphorically carrying burdens that can't be revealed
Carry the weight that you can never show
Symbolizing the hidden struggles and challenges
To escape from everything
Seeking an escape from the challenges of life
You flew out to sea so far
Flying away to the vastness of the sea
It's hard to ever come back
Difficulty returning from a self-imposed isolation
And the more we look for you
Searching for someone who has distanced themselves
The further away you soar
The more one searches, the farther the person moves away
Should you fall
Contemplating the challenge of helping someone who has fallen
How to ever catch you?
Difficulty in reaching out to and assisting the person
Oh, the most incredible views
Admiring breathtaking views, possibly metaphorical for life experiences
And no one to talk about it to
Feeling isolated, with no one to share experiences
It's not hard to see how
Understanding how a loved one can cause emotional turmoil
Someone you love is gonna mess you up
Anticipating emotional distress from someone close
It's that hot-cold feeling
Describing the contradictory emotions of hot and cold
A fly in your drink, a little bell that rings
Small annoyances and signals disrupting emotional balance
And if you dream in black and white
Connecting dreaming in black and white with a psychological condition
They say it means that you're a psycho
Suggesting a psychoanalytical interpretation of dream colors
And if you feel those thoughts collide
Encouraging embracing change and leaving behind negative thoughts
Stretch out your wings and say goodbye
Metaphorically spreading wings to overcome challenges
You're already up there
Reiterating the theme of detachment and soaring above
You flew out to sea so far
Reinforcing the idea of escaping to the sea
It's hard to ever come back
Emphasizing the difficulty of returning from self-imposed isolation
And the more we look for you
Highlighting the increasing distance when searching for the person
The further away you soar
The person moving farther away with each attempt to find them
Should you fall
Contemplating the challenge of helping someone who has fallen
How to ever catch you?
Expressing the difficulty of reaching and assisting the distant person
Oh, the most incredible views
Admiring breathtaking views, contrasted with the loneliness of the experience
But no one to talk about it to
Emphasizing the lack of companionship to share remarkable experiences
