Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way it's always been
I know all the ways of war
Can I change it back again
I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
I'm not the one to tell
This world how to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all our hate is gone
I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
You and me were running wild
I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
The song "Dolphins" is a contemplative ballad about the state of the world and the search for peace and solace. The lyrics speak of the world's seemingly endless cycle of war and conflict, and the singer's desire to find a better way. The imagery of dolphins swimming in the sea represents the search for something pure and innocent in the midst of the chaos of the world. The chorus, "Sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me," reflects the singer's loneliness and isolation in the struggle for inner peace.
The verses of the song contain a mix of resignation and hopefulness. While acknowledging the deep-seated problems of the world, the singer still holds onto the belief that peace can ultimately be achieved. The mention of "Saturday's child," a reference to an old nursery rhyme, provides a moment of nostalgia and hints at the possibility of a simpler, more innocent time.

If Driscol is the #6 guy on Philly's OL (PFF's #1 rated OL, for what it's worth), he sounds like a starter on the Fins if not a reliable, multi-positional rotational guy.

We also didn’t have a single 100 yard rushing output game by any of the RBs after Wynn went down.
