When The Blue Finally Came
Embracing the Blue: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Levitation
Lyrics
Watch the sun burn out and dig itself a grave
Observing the sun's decline and demise, metaphorically described as digging itself a grave.
And the ocean south of Sydney off the interstate
Referring to the ocean south of Sydney, possibly symbolizing a distant and unfamiliar place off the interstate.
And I hold out my hand trying not to shake
Extending a hand, attempting to remain steady or composed.
Watched you jump off of a cliff
Witnessing someone taking a daring leap off a cliff and defying gravity, suggesting a significant, risky action.
And start to levitate
Noting the person's ascent or levitation, possibly signifying a transformative or liberating experience.
And yeah I'm afraid
Expressing fear, acknowledging hesitancy or anxiety.
But I'll follow you anyway
Committing to follow despite fear, showing loyalty or devotion.
When the blue finally came

It swallowed up everything
Describing the engulfing nature of "the blue," suggesting its overwhelming impact.
In the sea of trees
Using the metaphor of a sea of trees, possibly symbolizing a complex or challenging environment.
I thought that I'd hear ghosts in the waves
Expecting to encounter remnants of the past ("ghosts") within the waves.
When the wind blew through
Associating the wind with the return of joy to a previously desolate and cold place.
I heard joy return to a cold and lonesome place
Hearing the return of happiness in the midst of solitude, possibly connected to the wind's sound.
I made out your voice, but I can't ask you to stay
Recognizing the familiar voice but acknowledging the inability to request the person to stay.
Watched you walk into the woods
Observing someone entering the woods, possibly symbolizing a journey into the unknown.
And start to levitate
Similar to line 5, noting the person's levitation or transcendence in the woods.
And yeah I'm afraid
Reiterating fear but expressing a commitment to follow despite uncertainties.
But I'll follow you anyway
Repeating the willingness to follow even in the face of fear, emphasizing loyalty.
When the blue finally came
Echoing the anticipation of the significant change represented by "the blue."
It swallowed up everything
Reiterating the all-encompassing nature of "the blue," suggesting its transformative power.
