Ocean Twilight
Destiny's Embrace: A Captain's Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
A captain sailed the world countless times before
The captain has extensive experience sailing around the world.
He promised this would be his last voyage to the distant shore
He intended for this voyage to be his final journey to a distant land.
And took his wife along to join the crew, though still his first love was the sea
He brought his wife on this trip, though his primary love was the sea.
But then raging waves swept her away in a storm of jealousy
His wife was lost in a storm, metaphorically described as jealousy.
Day after Day, no more meaning in life
The captain feels a profound emptiness and lack of purpose in life.
And what you have lost, won't come back
He understands that what is lost cannot be regained.
Day after day, the cruel and painful memories
He grapples with cruel and painful memories.
You can't escape – this is your destiny
He believes that he cannot escape this fate.
The captain had returned, but broken and alone
The captain returns home shattered and alone.
Feeling deep emptiness and the pain – his heart turning to stone
He feels profound emotional emptiness and his heart hardens.
While standing on the pier, he was staring at the sea
He stands by the sea, expressing anguish at his loss.
Screaming at the waves - why did you take my love from me
He questions why the sea took his love away.
With tears in his eyes – but without any doubt
Despite tears, he remains resolute.
He went on his boat – and then sailed out
He returns to his boat and sails out.
Redemption from pain – and forgiveness for guilt
He seeks redemption from pain and forgiveness for his guilt.
He died in the waves were his love had been killed
He dies in the same waves where his love perished.
And it worked out in the end - ´cause they´ve been reunited hand in hand
Ultimately, they are reunited in death.
Day by day, the cruel and painful memories
Continued struggle with painful memories and destiny.
Can't escape – this is your destiny
The belief persists that escape from this fate is impossible.
Day after day, the cruel and painful memories
Reiteration of the torment of memories and destiny.
You can't escape – this is your destiny
The perception that this destiny cannot be avoided.
Day after day, the cruel and painful memories
Repeating the struggle with painful memories.
Can't escape – this is your destiny
Reasserting the belief in an inescapable destiny.
Day after day, the cruel and painful memories
The ongoing battle with haunting memories.
You can't escape – this is your destiny
The continued belief that this fate cannot be avoided.
