Lyrics
I hear the ocean breathing in a sigh.
I perceive the rhythmic sound of the ocean exhaling with a sigh.
The seagulls screaming overhead, just out of site.
The seagulls are loudly crying above, just beyond our view.
I see the sun melt slowly in your eyes.
I witness the sun slowly dissolving in the reflection of your eyes.
Fall into the dirty water, time after time.
Repeatedly submerging into murky water, suggesting a repetitive or challenging experience.
Every single song was once alive, just like the two of us.
Every song, like our relationship, was once vibrant and alive.
We went down to the water's edge.
We ventured to the water's edge.
And now there's nothing but grains of sand.
Now, only tiny particles of sand remain, symbolizing the dissolution of something greater.
The signal flashes family from the shore.
A signal communicates a sense of family from the shore.
Echoes in the distance with, the sound of your voice.
Echoes in the distance carry the sound of your voice.
Nothing has ever seemed so far away.
Nothing has ever felt so distant or remote.
Wave after wave, it's calling me.
Repetitive waves beckon, perhaps representing the persistent call of an emotional or situational tide.
Wave after wave after wave...
Continued waves symbolize an ongoing emotional experience.
Every single song was once alive, just like the two of us.
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the vitality and eventual fading of songs and relationships.
We step into the shallow end to see what love was like.
We step into the shallow end to explore what love is like.
At the waters edge our lives were shut.
At the water's edge, our lives become closed or confined.
The tide keeps rolling out.
The tide consistently withdraws, signifying a continuous loss or separation.
But now we're nothing.
Contrast to line 8, expressing a sense of nothingness or emptiness.
Now you're nothing but grains of sand.
Addressing a specific person, now reduced to mere grains of sand.
Lalalala...
Repetition of la-la-la, possibly representing a melodic or emotional expression.
We left a pain that feels like the end is coming.
Leaving behind a painful sensation that feels like the end is approaching.
Breaking the steps and we say that our lives were always.
Breaking steps suggest a disruption, and acknowledging that lives were always in a certain state.
Nothing but grains of sand.
Reiteration of reduced existence to grains of sand, emphasizing finality.
