OPEN SEA BLUES
Navigating Love's Tempest: Open Sea Blues by The Jankeys
Lyrics
I'm just an island, and you're just a beach
I feel isolated, and you represent a place of connection
I row my boat over, tempestuous seas
I navigate through challenging and turbulent situations
Oh yeah, it's dangerous, but honey you're worth the risk
Acknowledging the risks, but expressing that the relationship is valuable
I got my life vest but this boat is sinking quick
Despite efforts to stay afloat, facing a rapid decline in the relationship
I got the open sea blues
Feeling a sense of melancholy associated with the vastness of the ocean
I ain't got none of you
Experiencing a sense of emptiness or longing without the partner
Just hoping for a little rescue
Hoping for assistance or relief from the emotional turmoil
From these open sea blues
Continuing to grapple with the emotional challenges of the relationship
Now I'm floating, in this big ass fish tank
Feeling confined or limited in the current emotional state
With dinosaurs, roaming underneath me
Reflecting on a surreal situation with various challenges
And all the creatures the good lord didn't see fit
Acknowledging the existence of unconventional and difficult circumstances
To walk among us, or we'd be worse off than the fish
Contemplating the potential consequences if certain beings were part of our world
I got the open sea blues
Reiteration of the emotional struggle related to the vastness of emotions
I ain't got none of you
Expressing the absence of the partner and the resulting emotional blues
Just hoping for a little rescue
Desiring support or rescue from the emotional challenges
From these open sea blues
Continued emphasis on the emotional struggles and the need for help
I'm on an island again, and you're on some beach
Revisiting the feeling of isolation while acknowledging the partner's situation
With a handsome man, on a leash
Noting the partner's involvement with someone else
I ain't saying I don't think about you
Expressing thoughts about the partner while recognizing the distance
But we got miles of blue, and I ain't taking no dip anytime soon
Acknowledging the vast emotional distance and hesitating to engage again
