Stranded
HighCoast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t know when we’ve parted ways
Stuck lost on the sea
Feels like I lose reality
I can’t see, got no clue if it’s true
My eyes are red
Sun is searing all day through my head
When I’m getting weaker every day?
Wuhu-huhu-uhh
(x2)
I float around, dream and fantasize
In this wet heat I don’t realize
I’m stranded on the sea
I’ve never felt so free
I float around, dream and fantasize
In this wet heat I don’t realize
I’m stranded on the sea
I’ve never felt so free
(x2)
Stranded on the sea
I’ve never felt so free
Stranded on the sea
All I need is you here with me
The lyrics to HighCoast's song "Stranded" speak of feeling lost and disconnected from reality while being stuck on the sea. The singer describes their state of confusion, emphasizing their inability to perceive their surroundings clearly. The repetitive lines, "I float around, dream and fantasize/ In this wet heat I don't realize," suggest a sense of detachment and escapism from the harsh reality of their situation.
The lyrics convey a feeling of weariness and vulnerability, with the mention of red eyes and the scorching sun adding to the imagery of enduring a difficult journey. The singer questions why they should continue to endure the hardships when they are growing weaker every day. However, amidst the struggle, there is a longing for companionship, expressed in the line "All I need is you here with me." This longing implies that the presence and support of another person would bring comfort and alleviate their feeling of being stranded.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I've never felt so free," suggesting a paradoxical sentiment of freedom amidst confinement. It could be interpreted as finding solace or liberation in accepting their circumstances and embracing the unknown.

Stranded on the sea
I am stuck alone on the vast ocean
All I need is you here with me
The only thing I desire is to have you by my side
