Avec Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with the only sound of adoring
and I still wonder where
I'll be the day after all
and can you feel
the grass beneath your
it's like a story
and it's slowly getting cold
and I turn apart like you
the lights go out the lights go on
the ways they're crossing as long as you go
I'm sailing I'm sailing away x2
the lights go out the lights go on
the ways they're crossing as long as you go
the lights fade
is walking next to me
The lyrics of Avec's song Sailing Away speak about uncertainty and the passing of time. The first stanza describes the singer's current state of mind - they are sitting in a quiet place, thinking about where they will be in the future. The use of the word 'adoring' adds a sense of peacefulness and appreciation to this moment despite the uncertainty. The second stanza describes a sensory experience - feeling the grass underneath and the nostalgia of a story that began a long time ago. This creates an atmosphere of introspection and contemplation.
The following lines use the metaphor of lights going on and off to describe life's journey. The repetition of this line emphasizes the cyclical nature of life, and how we move through light and dark moments. The phrase 'the ways they're crossing as long as you go' suggests that life's journey will always have obstacles and challenges, but it's up to us to keep moving forward. In the chorus, the singer repeats the phrase 'I'm sailing away', suggesting a desire to escape the uncertainties and challenges of life.

I'm still sitting here
I am still in the same place as before
with the only sound of adoring
listening to the sound of admiration
and I still wonder where
I am curious about the destination
I'll be the day after all
where I will end up eventually
and can you feel
do you sense
the grass beneath your
the earth under your feet
it's like a story
it feels like a narrative
which begin long time ago
that started a long time back
and it's slowly getting cold
the temperature is dropping gradually
and I turn apart like you
and I am distanced from you like you are from me
the lights go out the lights go on
the illumination gets non-existent and then reappears
the ways they're crossing as long as you go
the paths intersect as long as you keep going
I'm sailing I'm sailing away x2
I am setting sail and leaving
the lights go out the lights go on
the illumination gets non-existent and then reappears
the ways they're crossing as long as you go
the paths intersect as long as you keep going
the lights fade
the lights become dimmer
is walking next to me
someone is walking next to me
