Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dreaming youre at home for me
owned with grace, youre graced with beauty
oh still holding on for me
Darling cnt you see that youre my sea and sun
oh the battle rages but the war is won,

The lyrics of Johnnyswim's song Adelina describe a relationship where one person is waiting for the other person to return home from being out at sea. The first verse describes the person waiting at sea and dreaming of their loved one being at home waiting for them. The person waiting is described as being graced with beauty and owning grace, suggesting that they are patient and waiting with a sense of acceptance. The chorus repeats the name "Adelina" and describes her as both the sea and sun to the person singing the song. The battle rages, but the war is won, indicating that there may be challenges in the relationship, but the relationship will ultimately be successful. The chorus ends with hope for the future of the relationship.
The second verse describes the person waiting on shore, who has no fear or worries of the storm. They are described as having a warm and bright fire inside, yet they have also been burned before. This verse provides a sense of contrast to the first verse, where the person waiting at sea is described as being graced with beauty and owning grace. The verse ends with the same chorus as before, reiterating the hope for the relationship.
The final verse provides encouragement to Adelina, telling her to keep waiting even though her hand is fading. The singer acknowledges that it may be raining and challenging to wait, but the sun is still shining high. The verse adds an element of uncertainty, with the mention of a wager waiting on an anchor. However, the chorus repeats the hope for the relationship and ends with a positive note that Adelina won't be let down.
