The Sea
Kojote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No safe place left to go
These dramatic intrusions
We're falling all the same
Featherlike it's
Surrounding your skin
Second nature
Builds in slow motion
Wished upon the floor
Reached its walls now
But missed the door
In the sea
The cargo was a trojan
Horse covered in snow
It's outside looked so trustful
But the inside blew a hole
Featherlike it's
Surrounding your skin
Second nature
Builds in slow motion
Scratched the surface
Wished upon the floor
Reached its walls now
But missed the door
In the sea
And in that dream
I still recall
The warning has been sent so
Many times before
It will be carved for ages
A lesson too hard to learn
Parsing the last transmission
Before it leaves the storm
In the sea
Featherlike it's
Surrounding your skin
Second nature
Builds in slow motion
The lyrics to Kojote's song "The Sea" paint a picture of a world filled with impossible illusions and a lack of safe spaces. The dramatic intrusions referred to in the lyrics suggest that there are constant disruptions and challenges that we all face. The imagery of falling all the same portrays a sense of helplessness and vulnerability.
The lines "Featherlike it's surrounding your skin, Second nature builds in slow motion" convey the idea that these illusions and intrusions have become ingrained in our lives, almost unnoticed yet steadily growing stronger. The scratched surface and missed door symbolize missed opportunities or failed attempts to escape from these challenges.
The song takes a metaphorical turn with the mention of a trojan horse covered in snow. The imagery suggests that something seemingly innocent and trustworthy on the outside can actually be destructive on the inside. This serves as a cautionary tale, warning the listener to be cautious and not be deceived by appearances.
The line "And in that dream, I still recall, the warning has been sent so many times before" indicates that the message being conveyed in the song is not a new one. It's a recurring theme that humanity has failed to learn from throughout history. The lesson referenced in the song is portrayed as being too difficult to learn, as it will be carved for ages.
Overall, "The Sea" by Kojote explores themes of illusion, vulnerability, missed opportunities, and the failure to heed warnings. It serves as a reminder to be aware of the deceptions surrounding us and to not repeat the mistakes of the past.

A lesson too hard to learn
A difficult and painful experience from which wisdom is gained
Parsing the last transmission
Deciphering the final communication
Before it leaves the storm
Prior to departing from the turbulent situation

@OrionStarr Koyote usually make money from events. Everyone in Korea knows their classic songs so they sing them at corporate parties, local festivals, Freshers' weeks etc. But the coronavirus means all such events are cancelled, which is a total disaster for them. So they have had to release more songs than usual.

노래를 듣다보니... 전설의 그룹들이 많이 있지만 그 중에서 코요태의 최대강점은 흩어지지 않고 꾸준히 음악을 해주시는 점인거 같아요.
다들 건강관리 잘하시고 앞으로도 오래오래 좋은 모습 기대하고 응원하겠습니다!!!
