U
Alex Lustig Lyrics

The lyrics of Alex Lustig's song U are a contemplation of life's purpose and meaning: the feeling of insignificance in the vastness of the world, the struggle to stay afloat amid the overwhelming waves of life, and the search for a way out. The opening lines of the song express the singer's feeling that humans are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, just a drop in the ocean that no one will care about. The imagery of waves pushing them under water symbolizes the overwhelming nature of life's challenges. However, the singer reassures the listener not to worry about it, perhaps suggesting that finding personal meaning is more important than worrying about their smallness in the world.

The next stanza expresses the feeling of drowning in day-to-day life, unable to rest. However, the singer has found a way out, suggesting a solution to life's struggles. They propose building a Salem boat, historically used for fishing and exploring shallow waters, and staying afloat with only the two of them. This could also symbolize their desire to escape the overwhelming struggles of modern life and live a simpler existence. The final line reinforces the idea that only the two of them will be fine, expressing the idea of personal connection and the importance of "we" in a world where individuals can easily feel lost.
