Seaward
Seaward Serenade: A Tale of Redemption and Radiance
Lyrics
Act I:
Introduction of Act I
"I'm too young to repent, I am just a boy
Expressing youth and resistance to repentance, emphasizing boyhood
I don't need a war to pull me in and hang me out to dry."
Rejecting the idea of needing a war and being abandoned or exposed
"Then just stand your ground, dear
Encouraging resilience and holding one's position
Like a valiant steed
Using the metaphor of a valiant steed to convey bravery
Leave your arms uncrossed, dear
Advising openness by leaving arms uncrossed
Time has led the finer things to me
Reflecting on the rewards that time has brought
So give me your heart and the rest give up to the sea."
Seeking emotional commitment with a willingness to face challenges
Act II:
Introduction of Act II
So I started thinking where's the place to be
Contemplating the ideal place for a hardened heart
For a hardened heart and the bitter blood and bones inside of me?
Acknowledging inner turmoil and struggles
I was an open window, I had my own rule book
Recalling a time of individualism with a self-made rule book
Now I'm so goddamn lucky
Expressing gratitude despite challenges
'Cus with nothing to guide you, and no one to help you row
Highlighting the freedom of forging one's path without guidance
You can tear up your map and invent your own way to go.
Emphasizing the power of self-determination
It wasn't slight of hand
Denying deception or illegality
It wasn't contraband
Rejecting wrongdoing and emphasizing innocence
It was just the view from land
Appreciating the perspective from land
The sea at night could tame a wild beast
Describing the calming effect of the sea at night
I'm not the same as them
Asserting individuality and difference from others
I'm just a conduit
Identifying as a conduit, possibly conveying a sense of being a messenger
So fucking radiant
Expressing intense brightness or radiance
What world is left can end without me
Claiming importance in the world's end
Act III:
Introduction of Act III
This fate of ours, it was wrong, as I recall
Reflecting on the perceived wrongness of fate
But this love of mine, I would give to you every time
Committing love despite the perceived wrongness
