Like The Sea
Navigating the Emotional Tides: WILD HORSES' 'Like The Sea' Explained
Lyrics
The radio called and she's all out of tunes
The radio is silent, and there's a lack of inspiration or motivation.
The clouds they fill up as you tell me the news
The atmosphere is heavy as someone shares challenging news.
Your heart's like the sea tossed and turned by the waves
The person's emotions are turbulent and unsettled, akin to the unpredictable nature of the sea.
The moon's holding out for a brighter day
The moon symbolizes hope for a better future despite the current difficulties.
Is it alright to be out on your own
Questioning the acceptability of being alone and independent.
Adrift like the sea with no place to call home
Feeling lost and without a sense of belonging, like a ship adrift at sea.
Well I'm asking you now please don't leave me alone
A plea to not be abandoned in challenging times.
The day she's all gone and you're all headed West
A reference to a difficult moment when someone is leaving for the West, possibly signifying a departure or change.
These thoughts in my mind they all put to the test
The speaker's thoughts are undergoing a trial or challenge.
You say you'll return but the wind and the waves
Promises of return, but the elements suggest uncertainty.
Sing a different song for a brighter day
Nature seems to resist the optimism for a brighter future.
Is it alright to be out on your own
Reiteration of the uncertainty and discomfort of being alone.
Adrift like the sea with no place to call home
Continued sense of drifting and lack of a stable home.
Well I'm asking you now please don't leave me alone
A heartfelt plea to avoid abandonment.
One day I'll see you driving again
An optimistic anticipation of seeing someone again, possibly returning to familiar beginnings.
Down that dirt road where it all began
Returning to the origin, symbolized by a dirt road.
The clouds they roll on as the sun starts to shine
Nature's elements continue to evolve, suggesting a changing situation.
These days and these nights now are finally mine
The speaker claims ownership of their time and experiences.
Is it alright to be out on your own
Repeating the theme of questioning the acceptability of being alone.
Adrift like the sea with no place to call home
Continued sense of drifting and lack of a stable home.
Well I'm asking you now please don't leave me alone
A renewed plea to avoid isolation and abandonment.
Is it alright that I'm back on my own
Questioning the acceptability of being alone again after a return.
The days they grow long like the words of this song
Time passing is compared to the length of the song's lyrics.
Well I'm asking you now please don't leave me alone
A final plea to avoid abandonment.
Well I'm begging you now would you please come home
A desperate request for someone to come back home.
