B-Liminal, formed in 2007, was founded by singer, Bryce Rutkowski, former front man of the Reggae-Rock band, Boxelder. What began as a small project suddenly became a full-on band with the arrival of Michael Lyons, and Max Fraser. When Ryan "Ryngo" Weidenfeld joined the fold a few months later, the line-up was complete.
In May of '09, the Jupiter natives caught the attention of local Jett Beres of the band Sister Hazel. He immediately signed them to his label, Secret 7 Records, and released the band's first full length album entitled "Shore Culture" in August of '09.
Already having played and toured with various artists like, G. Love, Pepper, Pennywise, Bunny Wailer, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Authority Zero, Reel Big Fish, Arrested Development, The Expandables, Yellowman, Passafire and Fishbone, even playing on the Rock Boat X with Sister Hazel, Carbon Leaf, Blackberry Smoke and many others, B-Liminal is quickly establishing an extremely diverse and solid following of fans. The new album is full of great melodies, meaningful lyrics, and strong rock reggae grooves that is defining a unique sound, born from the "Shore Culture" of their home town.
The Sea
B-Liminal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here so very long
I done lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That's falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For the love navigation
But now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
And it's bad as it can be
I look around, all I can see
Is water coming down over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love, sea of love
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
But right now I'm just drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
A sea of love, sea of love
B-Liminal's song "The Sea" describes the feeling of being emotionally overwhelmed, lost and struggling to stay afloat in a powerful ocean of love. The lyrics talk about the singer's experience of being down before, but being unable to cope with their current situation. They had previously found comfort in their lover, who they depended on for guidance and love navigation, but they have now been deserted by that person, leaving them in the midst of a bad love storm that appears too overwhelming to handle.
The sea metaphor used in the song represents the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through as they try to navigate their complex relationship. The wind mentioned in the song may represent unexpected events or changes that the singer was not prepared to face, leading to their constant state of drowning in their emotions. The water coming down over the singer may be a symbol of their tears and the constant feeling of being submerged in sadness.
Overall, this song is a poignant expression of the depth of emotion that love can bring, and the potential for that emotion to cause suffering when things do not go as planned.
