The Wind
Lola Marsh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you
But I can't stay anymore
Though I need you
First I need to find my roads

And other roads behind my walls
Inside masks and animals
Across the field of mother dear
In my ordinary walk

So it's time to say farewell
And you look at me like you do
Asking me to stay awhile
For the love I feel for you
But the wind is changing
And the sea is raging

I feel you
Though our days are gone and through
The great hunger
I wonder if you feel it too

In different walls, we'll build our souls
For the chance to be alive
But all our sighs and lullabies
So we'll keep them safe and sound

So it's time to say farewell
And you look at me like you do
Asking me to stay awhile
For the love I feel for you
But the wind is changing
And the sea is raging

So it's time to say farewell
And you look at me like you do
Asking me to stay awhile
For the love I feel for you




But the wind is changing
And the sea is raging

Overall Meaning

The Wind by Lola Marsh is a heartwarming yet bittersweet song. The singer acknowledges the presence of someone special in their life but reveals that they can no longer stay. They feel the urge to go on a journey and find themselves. The person they're leaving behind doesn't want them to go and tries to convince them to stay a while longer. However, the singer knows it's time to say goodbye because the wind is changing and the sea is raging, signaling a change in their lives.


The lyrics paint a vivid picture of self-discovery and the courage to follow one's dreams despite the pain of leaving a loved one behind. The line "inside masks and animals" could represent the façade that people put on to hide their true selves or the inner animals people keep within themselves- a metaphor for their hidden desires or thoughts. Additionally, "Across the field of mother dear" could be a symbol of taking a journey despite the opposition from one's mother or family.


The chorus repeats the line, "But the wind is changing, and the sea is raging," representing a turning point in life, where one has to let go of certain things to move forward into a new chapter. The singer experiences mixed emotions, feeling a sense of loss but also holding on to hope for the future.


Line by Line Meaning

I see you
I am aware of your presence


But I can't stay anymore
However, I am unable to remain here any longer


Though I need you
Despite my need for you


First I need to find my roads
I must first find my own path


And other roads behind my walls
As well as paths hidden within myself


Inside masks and animals
Hidden beneath masks and animalistic instincts


Across the field of mother dear
Traversing the field of my past and childhood


In my ordinary walk
Through the mundanity of everyday life


So it's time to say farewell
Thus, it is time to bid you farewell


And you look at me like you do
Your gaze is familiar to me


Asking me to stay awhile
Requesting that I stay with you for a little longer


For the love I feel for you
Because of the love I have for you


But the wind is changing
However, the wind is starting to shift


And the sea is raging
The sea is growing more turbulent


I feel you
I sense your presence


Though our days are gone and through
Although our past days together have ended


The great hunger
This deep longing within me


I wonder if you feel it too
I am curious if you also feel this longing


In different walls, we'll build our souls
We must each construct our own identities, behind our own walls


For the chance to be alive
In order to truly live


But all our sighs and lullabies
All of our shared emotions and intimate moments


So we'll keep them safe and sound
We will safeguard them within ourselves
