The Sea
Haevn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if you want you can be free
Just book a train away from me
And take, and take
The road ahead

Don't go home and tell your friends
This is really not the life you've planned
Just take, just take
The road ahead

I'll take a chance and leave
The other side of sea
Is waiting there for me
Where they don't know
Don't know me

And if you want you can be free
Just book a life away from me
And take, and take
The road ahead

I'll take a chance and leave
The other side of sea
Is waiting there for me
Where they don't know

And time's gonna take your love from me
Words make way where lies come through
And I don't care what they'll say
I'm taking chances far away

I'll take a chance and leave
The other side of sea
Is waiting there for me




Where they don't know
Don't know me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Haevn's song "The Sea" explore the theme of freedom and the desire to escape from the constraints of a relationship. The first stanza suggests a sense of liberation by urging the listener to "book a train away" from the singer, who is effectively saying "if you want to be free, go." The second stanza elaborates on this idea by emphasizing that the listener shouldn't feel guilty for wanting to leave; "Don't go home and tell your friends this is really not the life you've planned." In both stanzas, the phrase "just take, just take the road ahead" is repeated, emphasizing the idea of moving forward and embracing freedom.


The singer then turns to their own situation in the third stanza, revealing that they too yearn for freedom and are willing to take a chance and leave, even if it means going to the other side of the sea to find a place where they are not known. The final stanza brings the theme of love and separation to the forefront, with the lyric "time's gonna take your love from me." In contrast to the earlier stanzas, however, the singer is committed to taking risks and breaking free from the relationship, regardless of what others might say.


Overall, "The Sea" is a song about seeking freedom and taking chances. Whether it's the listener or the singer, Haevn's lyrics encourage moving forward, taking risks, and discovering new horizons.


Line by Line Meaning

And if you want you can be free
You have the freedom to leave if you desire to do so


Just book a train away from me
Take a train and leave me behind


And take, and take The road ahead
Choose the path that lies ahead and embark on it


Don't go home and tell your friends
Don't tell your friends about this life you didn't plan for


This is really not the life you've planned
You might have envisioned a different life


Just take, just take The road ahead
Nonetheless, choose the next path in life and keep moving forward


I'll take a chance and leave
I am going to take a risk and leave


The other side of the sea
An unfamiliar land across the ocean


Is waiting there for me
It is patiently waiting for my arrival


Where they don't know
A place where nobody knows me or my past


Don't know me
A place where I can start anew with a clean slate


And time's gonna take your love from me
As time passes by, my love for you might fade away


Words make way where lies come through
Words can be deceiving and can hide the truth


And I don't care what they'll say
I am not concerned about what others might think or say


I'm taking chances far away
I'm taking risks in a distant land

Just promise me one thing guys :

Don't ever let anything stop you.Even if something seems tough, and no one around you gets that, know that you'll always find love here---- When listening to this music .

And we've never met, yet I feel as if... There's finally someone out there that understands me. We'll all look out for each other .

And I'm pretty sure that's what a family is.
So if you need someone to talk to, well, there's no other place I'd rather be.

Have a great day, everyone! Be sure to smile :)

OFFICIAL LYRICS
(From the inside of their vinyl)

Sunrays touch the coastline
Warm the cotton, show the dust
The long nights are gone with the river
The water's been waiting long enough
We float on the river of time
Hold steady, hold steady
The sea comes cause the summer forced out the cold
The boat fought the change of the tides
Hold steady, hold steady
Storm for hours, and rainy days
And all our lives we're told
The stream will take us home
Sunrays touch the coastline
Warm our feet, show the glare
We walk through the sand in the warm night
The water will take the weight from us
And all our lives we're told
The stream will take us home
And all our lives we're told
The stream will take us home
We sold our lives to the sea
The sky lights up from the beach
