Come to the Sea
Elane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far beyond the dunes.
My grey and hazy surf,
They sound like merry tunes.
They've been leading me,
Here for many years.
So please, don't speak a word;
My dear, come to the sea;
Let's watch the sun descend.
Just for a while, pretend,
That all we are is here.
My love, come to the sea,
To where we always went.
When we had to pretend,
Like shining stars we'll be.
Let's watch the sun descend.
Just for a while, pretend,
That all we are is here.
My love, come to the sea,
To where we always went.
When we had to pretend,
Like shining stars we'll be.
A cool and salty breeze,
To moisturize your lips.
So come, and have a seat,
And let me take a sip.
Let's taste the gloomy air,
So cool, and fresh, and dark.
Then touch my floating hair,
And kiss me, take my heart.
My dear, come to the sea;
Let's watch the sun descend.
Just for a while, pretend,
That all we are is here.
My love, come to the sea,
To where we always went.
When we had to pretend,
Like shining stars we'll be.
Let's watch the sun descend.
Just for a while, pretend,
That all we are is here.
My love, come to the sea,
To where we always went.
When we had to pretend,
Like shining stars we'll be.
Let's watch the sun descend.
Just for a while, pretend,
That all we are is here.
My love, come to the sea,
To where we always went.
When we had to pretend,
Like shining stars we'll be.
Elane's song Come to the Sea captures the essence of escaping the burdens of the world and finding peace at the shore. The beginning of the song sets the scene with the sound of the waves beyond the dunes, which have led the singer to the sea for many years. The lyrics encourage the listener to come to the sea and watch the sun set, pretending that they are the only two people in the world. The sea is described as having many ears, asking the listener not to speak a word and just enjoy the sound of the waves.
The middle section of the song is about sensory experiences at the shore. The cool and salty breeze is said to moisturize the lips, and the air is described as cool, fresh, and dark. The singer invites the listener to touch their floating hair and kiss them, using the imagery of the sea to create a romantic moment.
The chorus is repeated throughout, emphasizing the desire to escape reality and pretend to be shining stars at the sea. The song as a whole is about finding solace in the beauty of nature and the escape it provides from the stresses of daily life.
