To the Sea
Jakki Jelene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Luscious lips with one last kiss, I'm standing here all alone
Say goodbye but do no not cry, instead I turn to stone
I cannot imagine life without you next to me
Instead I'll have to move onward to the sea
Say farewell, forever dwell on love that's faded away
I cannot imagine life without you next to me
Instead I'll have to move onward to the sea
Drowning away in my sorrows then falling astray
Drowning away in the sea, I'm drifting away
You broke the spell and time will tell when all the answers are clear
I'll be gone and you'll move on but will not shed a tear
How can you just go through life and never stop to see?
How I wish you would be drowning next to me
Drowning away in my sorrows and falling astray
Drowning away in the sea, I'm drifting away
Drowning away in my sorrows that just won't go away
Drowning away in the sea, I'm leaving today
The song "To the Sea" by Jakki Jelene is a melancholic and emotional ballad about the pain of love and heartbreak. The lyrics describe the struggle of moving on from a relationship that has ended, and the difficulty of imagining a life without the person who was once so deeply loved. The first two stanzas poignantly capture the feeling of loneliness and numbness that follows a breakup. The singer is left alone, unable to cry, and feels as though she has turned to stone. However, she knows that she must move forward, even if it means leaving her former lover behind.
The chorus focuses on the metaphor of drowning in the sea, both as a symbol of the pain of heartbreak and as a symbol of a new beginning. The singer is drowning in her sorrows and drifting away, but at the same time, she is leaving behind old memories and starting anew. The final stanza speaks to the inevitability of moving on and the hope that the pain will eventually subside. The singer acknowledges that her former lover will also move on, but wonders how they can go through life without pausing to reflect on what they have lost.
Overall, "To the Sea" is a haunting and evocative song that captures the raw emotions of heartbreak and the process of moving on. It speaks to the universal experiences of pain and loss, and the need for hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

Drowning away in my sorrows then falling astray
Succumbing to my grief and losing my way in life
Drowning away in the sea, I'm drifting away
Gradually drowning myself in the sea, and drifting far away from everything familiar
You broke the spell and time will tell when all the answers are clear
You shattered my illusions, and only time will tell the real reasons for our separation
I'll be gone and you'll move on but will not shed a tear
I will disappear from your life, and you'll perhaps move on without shedding a tear
How can you just go through life and never stop to see?
How can you lead your life without realizing my worth and true love?
How I wish you would be drowning next to me
Ironically, I wish you were here, drowning with me in this vast and endless sea
Drowning away in my sorrows that just won't go away
Sinking in sadness that never seems to retreat or disappear
Drowning away in the sea, I'm leaving today
Slowly and steadily, I am letting myself drown in the depths of the sea, and I am departing from this world today
