Transformation
David T. Edwards Lyrics

Oh my hearties bold as brass
Addressing the listener (known as 'hearties') in a confident manner. Alluding to that feeling of excitement when setting out to sea, comparing it to the excitement of transformation.

Roll it out like summer grass
As summer grass is quick to grow and spread out, he wants the transformation to happen quickly and thoroughly.

Take me back where I come from
He wants the transformation to take him back to his roots, to who he used to be or who he wants to be.

Transformation has begun
The process of transformation has started, and he is excited to see it through to completion.

Throwing off the clothes of day
Getting rid of the burdens and stresses of the day, the issues that weighed him down before starting the transformation.

Complications fall away
As he transforms, he starts to see the complications of his life in a different light, and they start to become less important or complicated.

All I am is laid to waste
He's letting go of his previous self and everything that entailed, with hopes that he can rebuild from a clean slate.

Transformation takes my place
The person he is becoming through the transformation is beginning to replace who he used to be.

And just you keep it coming
He is enjoying the transformation so much, he wants it to continue and is encouraging it to do so.

A feeling I ain't never felt before
He's experiencing a new euphoria as a result of the transformation that he has never felt before.

And the way my heart is drumming
His heart rate has increased, and he is feeling an adrenaline rush from the transformation.

Well caution just goes flying right out the door
He's so swept up in the transformation that any caution he may have previously had goes out the door, and he becomes more impulsive.

And ain't this really something
He's excited by the transformation and reflects on how incredible it is to experience a change in oneself.

We're walking but our feet don't touch the floor
He's feeling light as air, almost in a state of euphoria, as if he's walking on clouds as he undergoes the transformation.

Anymore
Indicating that he hasn't felt this carefree and weightless for quite some time, and it's a sensation he enjoys.

Standing quiet as a mouse
He's content and peaceful, no longer feeling the need to constantly make noise or be heard.

Rhododendrons for my house
Referring to the type of flower he wants to keep nearby as he transforms, likely for its symbolic or aesthetic value.

Water lapping at my feet
A peaceful and tranquil image, further emphasizes the relaxing and calming effects of the transformation he is experiencing.

Transformation is complete
The transformation process has finished, and he is content being the new version of himself.
