Seven Seas
Matt Caplan Lyrics

I don't know where I am
I am lost and have no idea of my current whereabouts

I can't tell if I am really screaming
I am unsure if my vocalization is real or just in my dream state

Or just dreaming
It is possible that I am merely dreaming

And I don't know who you are
I am unfamiliar with your identity

All I know's I feel you there behind me
I sense your presence behind me

But you're never gonna find me cuz
It is unlikely that you will locate me

Seven seas of tears and anger
I have experienced a significant amount of emotion, both sad and mad, throughout my life

I'm still around, and
Despite these emotions, I am still present and accounted for

Seven seas of sweet disaster,
I have also experienced joy and happiness that have turned negative and disastrous.

I've yet to drowm
I have not fully succumbed to these intense emotional experiences

Even as the moon is commanding the tide
The moon exerts its power over the tide, similar to how these emotions have the ability to affect me

So will I cast all your empty offerings aside
I will disregard any insincere or meaningless gestures from others

Yeah you might leave the scar of your voice in my ears
Other people's words can leave a lasting impact on me

Provided you can make them ring
However, their impact must be louder than my own voice, which is powerful and expressive

Louder than I sing
Other's words must be significant and loud enough to overpower my own vocals

I don't know why it is, everyone is always either
I am uncertain of why everyone is always either...

Coming or going
...arriving or departing.

And I don't know what you want,
I am unsure of what someone's motivations or wishes are

All I know's you might as well forget it
They are unlikely to achieve their desires or goals with me

Cuz you're never gonna get it cuz
It is highly unlikely they will be successful

Even as the sun keeps his watch in the sky
The sun maintains its presence and purpose day in and day out

So will I be conscious of the corner of my eye
I will always be aware of my surroundings, even at the periphery

Yeah you might burn a brand in my mind with your mouth
Someone's words have the potential to leave a lasting memory or impression on me

Provided you can ruin my day
However, their impact must be significant enough to negatively affect my entire day.

Faster than I play
Their words must have greater speed and impact than my own actions.

All these storms I've weathered mean nothing
The adverse circumstances I have faced are not significant in and of themselves

If I don't keep my compass rose to north
However, if I do not stay true to my original path and direction, these experiences lose their value

If I don't drop my anchor to the bottom now and then
If I do not take the necessary steps to ground myself occasionally,

If I don't let the wind fill up my sails,
Or fail to allow external influences to propel me forward,

Then I'll never see the shore
I will never achieve my goals, reaching the end of my journey

And all the siren's wails are getting harder to ignore
As I progress, the temptations or distractions that can divert me from my path become more challenging to disregard

Seven seas of tears and anger
This same theme of intense emotion reemerges here, with sadness and frustration still present

I stood my ground
Despite these emotions, I have remained steadfast in my position

But If I should drown in my ocean of pride
However, there is still the potential that my confidence or sense of self-importance could become overwhelming and negatively impact me

I'll send you a postcard when I reach the other side
Even if I am unsuccessful, there remains the possibility that I will continue my journey beyond this life and will communicate this somehow

Or maybe I'll come back to the sea just to say,
It's even possible for me to return to my journey with a new sense of purpose

Right after I smile and wink,
Doing so with a lighthearted and positive attitude, keeping hope alive

"See you when you sink."
Thus, even when faced with significant challenge or adversity, I remain confident and optimistic about the future
