Next to the Ocean
Embracing Brokenness: Life by the Ocean's Emotional Waves
Lyrics
Well it's the right morning to seize the moment
Expressing readiness to embrace the current moment.
But it's the right moment to waste the day
Acknowledging the temptation to waste the day despite the opportune moment.
And so I'll pour coffee into my whiskey
Mixing coffee with whiskey, possibly symbolizing a blend of stimulants and relaxants.
Before I head out and make things go my way
Planning to assert control and make things go in the desired direction.
Maybe I'll move down next to the ocean
Contemplating a move to a more serene location, next to the ocean.
Cause it's a much nicer place to be broken
Seeing the ocean as a preferable place to confront personal brokenness.
All I need are my pills and my lotion
Dependence on pills and lotion to cope with negative emotions.
To cast out these hate fuelled emotions
Using substances to dispel hate-fueled emotions.
Hey honey won't you join me
Inviting a partner to join in facing difficulties.
Hey darling won't you stray
Encouraging a loved one to venture beyond the usual path.
Cause if you've got sorrows then that's a story
Acknowledging shared sorrows as a collective story.
Together we can paddle out to surf these emotional waves
Suggesting partnership in navigating emotional challenges.
So won't you join me next to the ocean
Reiterating the idea of finding solace next to the ocean.
Cause it's a much nicer place to be broken
Reaffirming the ocean as a soothing place despite brokenness.
All we need are my pills and my lotion
Emphasizing the reliance on pills and lotion for emotional relief.
To cast out these hate fuelled emotions
Continuing the theme of countering hate-fueled emotions with substances.
I'm gonna stay right next to the ocean
Deciding to stay near the ocean, setting the stage for personal struggles.
To set the scene for my self implosion
Linking proximity to the ocean with a self-destructive process.
Cause I'm a guy that lacks all devotion
Admitting a lack of devotion to positive change.
To take charge and find a solution
Recognizing personal shortcomings in taking charge and finding solutions.
Now I'm gone don't wait home for me
Announcing departure with a lack of expectation for waiting.
Just follow the sound of the sea breeze
Guiding others to find solace by following the sound of the sea.
Pour a glass of self pity
Encouraging indulgence in self-pity through the metaphor of pouring a glass.
Bury your head in the sand then sit here with me
Proposing escapism by burying one's head in the sand next to the speaker.
Living large we're not worthy
Reflecting on a modest lifestyle, feeling unworthy of more.
Casting doubts on our history
Casting doubt on personal and shared history.
The screams and shouts from the city
Downplaying the significance of urban chaos on personal well-being.
Won't mean much to me because
Asserting emotional detachment from city noise.
I'm gonna move out next to the ocean
Reiterating the desire to relocate next to the ocean for healing.
Cause it's a much nicer place to be broken
Reaffirming the ocean's appeal as a place for healing brokenness.
All I need are my pills and my lotion
Stressing the reliance on pills and lotion for emotional stability.
To cast out these hate fuelled emotions
Continuing the theme of using substances to combat hate-fueled emotions.
I'm gonna stay right next to the ocean
Deciding to stay near the ocean, reinforcing the self-destructive narrative.
To set the scene for my self implosion
Linking proximity to the ocean with self-implosion.
Cause I'm a guy that lacks all devotion
Reiterating a lack of devotion to positive change.
To take charge and find a solution
Acknowledging personal shortcomings in taking charge and finding solutions.
I'm gonna move out next to the ocean
Repeating the desire to move next to the ocean for healing.
Cause it's a much nicer place to be broken
Reaffirming the ocean's appeal despite personal brokenness.
All I need are my pills and my lotion
Emphasizing the continued reliance on pills and lotion for emotional relief.
