Over the Sea
Bec Sandridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over the sea
I screamed out, twice.
Under my breath
Over the hills,
to you.
But you threw me
You threw me, on down.
You threw me, away.
You're away.
From the moment we met,
I knew your voice.
I feared this the most-
the lessons i had learned,
reclaimed.
So i threw you
I threw you, on down.
I threw you,
I threw you away,
You're away.
You 're away.
Over the sea i found a light i could call home.
The opening lines of the song, "I fell in fire, once. Over the sea. I screamed out, twice. Under my breath. Over the hills, to you. But you threw me," suggests a relationship that has gone awry. The singer is recalling how they fell in love once, but that love fell apart, and they were left feeling burned. They tried to reach out to their lover, screaming out their pain, but they were ignored, and their cries went unheard. The singer then reflects on how they had always known that their lover was not right for them, but they ignored their gut instincts, and now they are reaping the consequences of their actions. In turn, they threw their lover away, and now they find themselves alone and isolated.
The final lines of the song, "Over the sea I found a light I could call home," provide some hope and optimism for the singer. It suggests that they have moved on from this tumultuous relationship and have found a sense of belonging and contentment in a new place. Perhaps they have left their old life behind and are starting anew, or perhaps they have found inner peace and a new perspective on life.

“I never wanted to win this. I guess I’m not that girl who flys anymore. I crashed too many times. Now I dance with my feet on the ground and with my eyes open. So I can appreciate this adventure I’m on. But this adventure must involve faith. Support. And love at all times.” -Tara Webster
