The Sea
M.O.N.E.Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to the shore line
That's where I need to be
Watching the sun rise
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I miss the days
When the sun was shining
And I had the sea
Right by my door
And Grandma used to say
Son you will be flying away
I never knew what she meant before
Until I
Packed my rucksack and took off
Ten years on and I'm still in love
With the sand that felt me grow
But now and then when I do get lost
There's this place I know I can trust
To put me back on the road
So Take me to the sea
Take me to the shore line
That's where I need to be
Underneath the moonlight
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Take me to the sea
Take me to the shore line
That's where I need to be
Watching the sun rise
The lyrics of M.O.N.E.Y’s song “The Sea” express a longing for the ocean and the memories that come with it. The artist yearns to be on the shoreline, watching the sunrise and waiting for something significant. The repetition of “I’m waiting” throughout the chorus emphasizes the singer’s patience, endurance, and drive for a sense of fulfillment or direction. The artist also reminisces of his past, before he took off on his journey. Being close to the ocean was a significant part of his childhood. His grandmother had told him he would soar one day before he flew for adventure, and he didn’t realize what she meant until he left. Ten years later, he still holds onto those memories and the feeling of the sand beneath his feet that helped in his growth. However, when he loses his way, the sea is the place he knows he can always rely on to find himself and move forward.

Take me to the sea
I want to go to the beach
Take me to the shore line
I want to be near the coast
That's where I need to be
I feel most content by the ocean
Watching the sun rise
Looking at the sunrise is a peaceful and memorable moment for me
And I'm waiting
I'm patiently anticipating my desire to go to the sea
I miss the days
I reminisce about the past when I was happier
When the sun was shining
It was sunny and bright in the past
And I had the sea
I lived close to the ocean
Right by my door
It was within walking distance from my home
And Grandma used to say
My grandmother would tell me
Son you will be flying away
You will one day leave this place
I never knew what she meant before
I didn't understand her words until later
Until I packed my rucksack and took off
I didn't understand until I left home
Ten years on and I'm still in love
Even after a decade, my affection for the sea hasn't changed
With the sand that felt me grow
I have happy memories of growing up by the beach
But now and then when I do get lost
When I'm feeling lost or uncertain
There's this place I know I can trust
I trust that going to the sea will make me feel better
To put me back on the road
Going to the sea helps me to regain my focus and direction in life
Underneath the moonlight
Being at the beach in the evening when the moon is out

Clap clap clap clap!

I agree with Sam Turner. Wu Lyf and Money were peers. Contemporaries living and playing in the same city. I would imagine they at least knew of one another. Since I have never heard one band speak of the other, I will take that silence as golden.
