Wild Sea
Maya Isac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grasp for a while- the storm is passing by
I start to stare- what am I doing?
I should be standing strongly and firmly
Grabbing my chair tight as I stumble
Raving circus won't you crumble?
This wild sea raging inside of me
I know your kind
Pledged to your eager mind
Don't march in your grin
Stay far from these fragile wings
I see the leaves moving in silent grief
Is this our turn to heal something that burns
While we destroy everything possible
Dragging our homes into this battle
Hoping our names will somehow appear
On various screens that scream to the air
This wild sea...
This wild sea raging inside me
I rest my feet and blame our stubborn needs
The lyrics of Maya Isac's song "Wild Sea" depict an internal struggle faced by the singer who is trying to come to terms with her place in the world amidst turmoil and chaos. The imagery of a stormy sea serves as a metaphor for the singer's emotional turmoil. The opening lines suggest that she is perhaps tired and weak, trying to find stability as the storm passes. However, as the storm rages on, she realizes that she needs to stand strongly and firmly. The lyrics are an honest inquiry into her life choices and decisions, the way she sees herself and her role in the world. The singer recognizes that her choices and desires are often at odds with what the world needs and the importance of healing.
The repetition of the line "This wild sea raging inside me" is a reminder of the singer's emotional turmoil. She is trying to come to terms with her role in the destruction of the world and feels helpless. The lines "I rest my feet and blame our stubborn needs" suggest that the singer recognizes the need to take a break and distance herself from the chaos around her. She understands that she needs to distance herself from those who do not have her best interests at heart and to steer away from those who would hurt her. The line "Stay far from these fragile wings" suggests vulnerability and the need to protect oneself from outside influences.
The second stanza alludes to the collective responsibility of preserving our environment, and the destruction we cause in the process. The leaves in silent grief are perhaps a metaphor for the environmental destruction caused by humanity. Maya Isac's song Wild Sea is a critical commentary on society's materialism and misplaced priorities. The final lines of the song "Hoping our names will somehow appear on various screens that scream to the air" suggest a yearning for validation and a sense of inadequacy.
