Lyrics

We packed our bags and said farewell

We prepared to leave and said goodbye.

Untied the knot and raised the sail

We untied the knot, symbolizing the end of something, and set sail.

We threw our hearts into the sea

We metaphorically invested our emotions by throwing our hearts into the sea.

Forgot all of our memories

We intentionally chose to forget our past memories.


The wind was sweet and smelled of home

The wind carried a comforting scent reminiscent of home.

The sea was rough and felt unknown

The sea was tumultuous, representing uncertainty and the unfamiliar.

Escaping shores of lunacy

We sought to escape the irrational and chaotic shores.

Dawn light, twilight, infinity

Referencing different times of the day, suggesting a journey through time and space.


Can we keep our baring straight

Questioning whether the journey can stay on the intended path.

Or will we be blown off course

Raising the possibility of being diverted from the chosen course.

Are we instruments of fate?

Pondering if our lives are controlled by destiny or chance.

Do we really have a choice?

Exploring the concept of free will and the extent of our control over our lives.


A voice whispers in the gales

A mysterious voice is present in the strong winds, reminiscent of tales from childhood.

Like in the songs and childhood tales

Referencing mythical creatures and turbulent seas from childhood stories.

Where krakens raging in the sea

Description of mythical sea creatures causing destruction.

Crack ships into a million pieces

Imagery of ships being shattered into countless pieces by powerful forces.


Can we keep our baring straight?

Reiteration of the earlier question about maintaining the intended direction.

Or will we be blown off course?

Concern about potential deviations from the planned path.

Are we instruments of fate?

Raising the question of whether our lives are predetermined by external forces.

Do we really have a choice?

Revisiting the theme of free will and the choices available to us.


We threw our hearts into the sea

Reiteration of the symbolic act of investing emotions in the sea.

Forgot all of our memories

Repeat of the intentional decision to forget past memories.
