Lovers at Bay
Eternal Voyage of Love's Descent
Lyrics
You are the captain to my only ship
You are the guiding force in my life, like a captain to a ship.
Into the seas, our bow starts to dip
We are entering unknown and challenging territories together.
Sinking together we aim for the sand
We are sinking together, facing difficulties, aiming for stability represented by "sand."
Forever and always we drown hand in hand
Our commitment is enduring, even in difficult times; we face challenges hand in hand.
You are the diamond and I am the rough
You are valuable and refined, while I may be unpolished.
Unhinging my heartstrings was never enough
Expressing love was insufficient; it required more depth.
Your sweet heart is turning sour
The sweetness in our relationship is turning bitter.
Your body is the glass of an endless hour
Your body represents time passing endlessly.
The salt is stirring in our seven seas
There is turmoil and conflict in our shared experiences.
Your longing lips are but a burden tease
Your kisses, once desired, have become a painful longing.
Beset a man by chance and luck
Our connection was a result of chance and luck.
The ingredients of a foolish fuck
Describing a regrettable and thoughtless act, possibly a mistake in the relationship.
You are the anchor that led me astray
You, symbolized as an anchor, led me away from the right path.
Your loyalty itself is beginning to sway
Your loyalty is faltering, showing signs of wavering commitment.
Bury me at sea
A desire to be buried at sea, perhaps representing a wish for a watery end.
Set
Repetition of "Set Sail" suggests a continuous journey into uncertainty.
Sail
-Set
-Sail
-Set
-Sail
-Cascade me down beneath the waves
The speaker wishes to be taken below the waves, possibly symbolizing surrender.
Guiding us into our early graves
We are guided towards our demise, acknowledging the inevitable end.
To our resting place
Refers to the final resting place, accepting the end of the journey.
She will wash our bodies upon the shore
The sea will carry our bodies ashore, a common fate shared by many others.
Where so many other lives have been laid to rest before
Reflecting on the shared destiny with others who have passed away.
Wash me away
A plea to be washed away, possibly seeking an escape from the pain or guilt.
Wash me away
A repetition of the plea to be washed away, emphasizing the desire for cleansing.
