Fear of the Sea
Embracing Life's Depths: Overcoming Regrets and Embracing the Unknown
Lyrics
It’s funny what you think at the end of your days
Reflecting on thoughts and perspectives near the end of life.
I had money, I had time, but I threw them away
Regretting the squandering of wealth and time.
I had chances to leave, but each time I would stay
Missed opportunities to leave or change, choosing familiarity.
I was old, I was bitter, I was stuck in my ways
Being old, bitter, and resistant to change or growth.
And each night when I look back on me
Reflection on past actions during nightly introspection.
Not a single scar can be seen
No visible scars, possibly indicating internal struggles.
And it comes and it goes and I think
Cyclic contemplation of life's purpose.
Maybe this is all I’m supposed to be
Doubting if the current state is the intended life path.
I lived my life for the fear of the sea
Living in constant fear, possibly metaphorically represented by the sea.
From afar I would look down on each crashing wave
Observing life's challenges from a distance without actively participating.
Oh I’ve never been certain, I’ve never been brave
Expressing uncertainty and a lack of courage in life.
And I wish that I took that advice that she gave
Regretting not heeding advice, possibly related to missed opportunities.
That old bones and regrets are all you take to your grave
Acknowledging that only old age and regrets accompany one to the grave.
And each night when I look back on me
Nightly self-reflection without visible external scars.
Not a single scar can be seen
Reiteration of the lack of physical scars despite life experiences.
And it comes and it goes and I think
Cyclical contemplation of life's purpose persists.
Maybe this is all I’m supposed to be
Doubting whether the current state is the intended life path.
I lost it all for the fear of the sea
Having lost everything due to persistent fear, possibly of the sea.
It’s funny what you think at the end of your days
Reiteration of reflecting on thoughts near the end of life.
Well the tide it came in and it took my away
Symbolic reference to the tide taking away aspects of life.
And each night when I look back on me
Nightly introspection without visible external scars.
Not a single scar can be seen
Repetition of the absence of physical scars despite life experiences.
And it comes and it goes and I think
Cyclic contemplation of life's purpose continues.
Maybe this is all I’m supposed to be
Doubting whether the current state is the intended life path.
I gave my life for the fear of the sea
Sacrificing life for the persistent fear, possibly represented by the sea.
