Atlantic
Kelsey Lu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sudden shiver, taking a dip in a river in winter
Cold breeze caressing frozen cheeks
You're heartless
Someone's walking over her grave
Sudden shivers, moving the pieces with her
Boldly pretending you're wrong
When you've taken all the pain of it all
Jump into the Atlantic
When you fall
Jump into the Atlantic
When you wanna heal it all
Jump into the Atlantic
To the sounds of silence
Someone's falling out of old ways
Love drifter, caught in the winds of desire
Smooth shifter
You've even forgotten all about your heartbreak
Something's getting washed off with waves
Sun center, reflecting light off the water, it glimmers
See a breeze, you've gone and moved on
Jump into the Atlantic
When you've taken all the pain of it all
Jump into the Atlantic
When you fall
Jump into the Atlantic
When you wanna heal it all
Jump into the Atlantic
To the sounds of silence
Jump into the Atlantic
When you've taken all the pain of it all
Jump into the Atlantic
When you fall
Jump into the Atlantic
When you wanna heal it all
Jump into the Atlantic
To the sounds of silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
The lyrics to Kelsey Lu's song Atlantic seem to be about finding solace in the ocean after experiencing pain and heartbreak. The imagery of someone walking over graves and sudden shivers create a spooky, unnerving feeling that could represent the emotional baggage one carries with them after a difficult situation. The metaphor of jumping into the Atlantic is a call to let go of that pain and find peace in something vast and unending. The repetition of "jump into the Atlantic" emphasizes the urgency and importance of the release, while the final verse of "silence" reinforces the idea of finding peace and stillness.
Additionally, the lyrics suggest a theme of self-empowerment and independence. Lines such as "you're heartless" and "you've even forgotten all about your heartbreak" imply a sense of strength and resilience in overcoming adversity. The mention of "smooth shifter" could also represent the ability to adapt and move on from difficult situations.
Overall, Atlantic appears to be a song about finding healing and peace through embracing the vastness of the natural world, while also finding strength within oneself to move forward from emotional turmoil.

THE MOST underrated song on the whole album. Beautiful beyond words. THE VOCALS. The lyrics. And yet 4747 views!? Honestly. Disrespectful.

I love her lyrics and how she puts it to music, not to mention her outstanding visuals. Kelsey Lu is the most underrated contemporary artist I know.
