Hiding from the Sea
Navigating Redemption: Unveiling the Depths of 'Hiding from the Sea' by Whale Bones
Lyrics
I guess I'm missing the point of it
I'm not grasping the essence or purpose of it
I guess I've taken it all for me
I've selfishly claimed everything for myself
Now in my failure I've lost myself
In my failure, I've lost my identity
And now I've given it all to the sea
I've given everything away to the sea
I hope the waves will rip into me
I wish for the waves to violently impact me
I hope they wreck and destroy all I've been
I desire destruction of who I am
To take all my mystery
To remove the enigmatic aspects of myself
To separate my soul from my skin
To disconnect my essence from my physical form
Cause I've been hiding from the sea too long
I've been avoiding confronting the sea for too long
And I've been left alone and beached too long
I've been abandoned and stranded for too long
Cause I've been begging for the ocean
I've been desperately longing for the ocean
I've been crying for the shore
I've been yearning for the safety of the shore
To take this mess that I've created
To take responsibility for the chaos I've caused
And make me whole once more
To restore my completeness once again
I've feigned my strength and ability
I've pretended to be strong and capable
Misrepresentative soul I have built
I've constructed a false representation of myself
I've strayed away from stability
I've deviated from stability and balance
And now the blood of the world I have spilt
I've caused immense harm to the world
The world should ache in my deceit
The world should suffer because of my dishonesty
The sky should crumble and fold for my skin
The sky should collapse due to my actions
Oceans should rise up and swallow me
I deserve to be consumed by the rising oceans
This punishment should unfold for my sin
I expect punishment for my wrongdoing
Oh don't you try to save me right now
Don't attempt to rescue me now
Cause I'm lost
Because I am lost and in turmoil
Cause I've been hiding from the sea too long
I've avoided facing the sea for too long
And I've been left alone and beached too long
I've been left isolated and stranded for too long
Cause I've been begging for the ocean
I've been desperately longing for the ocean
I've been crying for the shore
I've been yearning for the safety of the shore
To take this mess that I've created
To take responsibility for the chaos I've caused
And make me whole once more
To restore my completeness once again
I've been hiding from the sea too long
I've avoided facing the sea for too long
And I've been left alone and beached too long
I've been left isolated and stranded for too long
Cause I've been begging for the ocean
I've been desperately longing for the ocean
I've been crying for the shore
I've been yearning for the safety of the shore
To take this mess that I've created
To take responsibility for the chaos I've caused
And make me whole once more
To restore my completeness once again
I've been hiding from the sea too long
I've avoided facing the sea for too long
And I've been left alone and beached too long
I've been left isolated and stranded for too long
Cause I've been begging for the ocean
I've been desperately longing for the ocean
I've been crying for the shore
I've been yearning for the safety of the shore
To take this mess that I've created
To take responsibility for the chaos I've caused
And make me whole once more
To restore my completeness once again
