Lets Go To The Sea
George and the Good Vibes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day you took her from me
And you though that it would hurt my pride
But there were things you failed to see.
You thought you stole away her love
But I want the world to know
It's the truth she turned her back on me
Yes, you thought that you were foolin' me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go.
Yes, you knew that you were cheating me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go...
In George and the Good Vibes's song "Let's Go To The Sea," the singer, who has had his love stolen from him by another person, declares that he is actually glad that it happened. The singer begins by acknowledging that his former partner has left him, but urges the person who has taken her away not to be too smug about it, as the singer is not really upset. He then goes on to explain that, in fact, his love for this woman had already died some time ago, and that her leaving him has actually set him free from a lot of emotional pain and sleepless nights.
This song is more than just a typical breakup song. It's a song about freedom and moving on. The singer is obviously not heartbroken about losing his former partner because he was already emotionally detached from the relationship before it ended. The song therefore serves as a reminder that sometimes being left can be a good thing, as it can provide a chance to reassess and move forward in life.
