Divorce
Generation Lossless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enough to push the boat at daybreak
Those lonely seas that move and shake
Don't second guess there are no mistakes
The brown wall that used to be blue
And the palm tree that used to be two
Those lonely homes that ache with age
On the ivory beach all flecked with black
Or the desert haven snowy mountain cap
I can feel your gaze when I'm upon the stage
Let the tears out and we turn the page
The lyrics of Generation Lossless's song "Divorce" explore the emotional journey of a relationship that has come to an end. The first stanza sets the scene with the image of someone crying, expressing their immense sadness and emotional burden. The line "Enough to push the boat at daybreak" suggests that their tears are powerful enough to create a shift or change in their life. The reference to "lonely seas that move and shake" reinforces the notion of turbulence and uncertainty that accompanies the end of a relationship.
The second stanza introduces the metaphorical elements of the song. The brown wall, which used to be blue, symbolizes the deteriorating state of the relationship. Similarly, the palm tree that used to be two represents the once united and strong partnership that has now fallen apart. The line "Those lonely homes that ache with age" portrays the feeling of emptiness and longing in a house that was once filled with love. The mention of grass growing in the yard signifies that life moves on, even after a separation.
The chorus shifts the focus to different settings, such as an ivory beach with black flecks or a desert haven with a snowy mountain cap. These contrasting images highlight the singer's ability to feel the presence of their former partner, even when they are physically apart. The line "Let the tears out and we turn the page" implies that expressing and processing their emotions allows for growth and moving forward.
Line by Line Meaning
For years you cried your entire weight
You spent a long time burdened with immense emotional pain
Enough to push the boat at daybreak
So much anguish that it could propel a boat at the start of the day
Those lonely seas that move and shake
Within those desolate oceans that constantly fluctuate
Don't second guess there are no mistakes
Don't doubt, there are no true errors in life
The brown wall that used to be blue
The wall that was once vibrant and colorful but has now faded
And the palm tree that used to be two
And the palm tree that, at one point, represented togetherness
Those lonely homes that ache with age
The homes that have grown old and carry a deep sense of longing
And like grass in the yard, please know we grew
Just like the grass in the yard, we also experienced growth
On the ivory beach all flecked with black
On the pristine beach tainted with specks of darkness
Or the desert haven snowy mountain cap
In the oasis of the desert covered with a snowy mountain peak
I can feel your gaze when I'm upon the stage
I can sense your eyes on me when I perform on stage
Let the tears out and we turn the page
Release your tears, and together we can move forward
