Thousand lights on a ship stern glow
Following my eyes
Before the dawn, all of us gone to their homes
Before the dawn, I will be far from this place
I am alone, watching birds flying above
With an empty map, with no thoughts in my head
I was watching them flying above
Before the dawn, seasons are changing too fast
Before the dawn, I will be far from this place
Northern Seaside

Thousand lights on a ship stern glow
Following my eyes
Before the dawn, all of us gone to their homes
Before the dawn, I will be far from this place
I am alone, watching birds flying above
With an empty map, with no thoughts in my head
Before the dawn, seasons are changing too fast
Before the dawn, I will be far from this place
The lyrics to Motorama's song "Northern Seaside" evoke a sense of isolation and detachment. The opening line, "I am alone, throwing stones to the dark," paints a picture of someone who is alone and perhaps feeling lost or aimless. The image of a ship with a thousand lights on its stern adds to the feeling of isolation, as though the singer is standing alone on a shore while the rest of the world moves on around them.
The second verse continues this theme with the singer watching birds flying above while holding an empty map and feeling directionless. The line "before the dawn" is repeated twice, adding a sense of urgency to the singer's need to leave this place and move on. The final lines suggest that time is moving too quickly and the singer needs to leave before it's too late.
Overall, the lyrics to "Northern Seaside" create a sense of detachment and isolation, with the singer feeling disconnected from the world around them and needing to move on before it's too late.

I am alone, throwing stones to the dark
I am by myself, tossing rocks into the abyss
Thousand lights on a ship stern glow
There are numerous bulbs shining on the back of a boat
Following my eyes
Pursuing what my vision detects
Before the dawn, all of us gone to their homes
Prior to sunrise, everyone will have departed to their residences
Before the dawn, I will be far from this place
Before daybreak, I will have departed a considerable distance from here
I am alone, watching birds flying above
I am by myself, observing avians soaring overhead
With an empty map, with no thoughts in my head
Having a chart devoid of markings, with no musings present in my mind
I was watching them flying above
I had been observing them soaring aloft
Before the dawn, seasons are changing too fast
Prior to sunrise, the seasons are altering too hastily
Before the dawn, I will be far from this place
Before daybreak, I will have departed a considerable distance from here
