Sea Creatures
Axel Flóvent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too tired of letting go
This light is too damn slow
And I'm not sure how this will end
Breaking through these walls
Though they seem unbreakable, yeah
It's been far too long
It's true
The creatures made you stay
And you let them run away
For now
All my bad ideas
Came from slightly overthinking
The fire burns my house
But I don't care because you're not hurt
It's true
The creatures made you stay
And you let them run away
And you set it all on fire
By staying silent
In Axel Flóvent's song Sea Creatures, the singer is expressing his desire to escape from his current situation. He feels tired and overwhelmed and describes himself as being too tired to let go. He is waiting for something to happen, but the light is too slow and he is unsure of how things will end. Despite feeling trapped behind walls that seem unbreakable, he still holds on to the hope that there is something he can fall back on.
The chorus of the song contains the lines "It's true, the creatures made you stay, and you let them run away, for now." This could be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to suggest that the singer's love interest is also struggling with their own demons, the "creatures", and has decided to stay with the singer despite their problems. The singer seems to appreciate this but also acknowledges that this might not last forever.
Towards the end of the song, the singer reveals that he has had some bad ideas that came from overthinking, but at the same time he feels like burning down his house does not matter as long as his love interest is not hurt. In the final line of the song, the singer suggests that his own silence has contributed to the problems in his life.
Overall, Sea Creatures is a deeply introspective song that touches on themes of love, longing, and personal struggles.

this song takes me somewhere else. running carefree in the fields, near the mountains on a windy day with dark clouds in the skies in Iceland with some new friends, when I would finally opened myself from my own cage of sadness and doubts. a time in future when I will build myself a life like this.
