Atlantica
Pekoe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anchor's set but I still feel you out there
The world is as small as it seems
But your heart on the other hand
Is almost as big as these dreams you leave
Atlantica sink me in
Show me the deep
If it's journeys you dream
Would you dream them with me?
All your flaws they are a work of art
What's imperfect is the prettiest part
And the tide rises high when you cry
'Cause the ripples you gently awake
Become waves that roam free when they leave
Atlantica sink me in
In your thoughts, in your skin, past this barren land,
Show me the deep
If it's journeys you dream
Would you dream them with me?
(Ooh's and Ah's)
Oh I fall in love when I see
Your heart worn out on your sleeve
When you are no longer afraid to leave
Atlantica sink me in
In your thoughts, in your skin, in this ocean you steer,
In your wild emotions, take me deep
If it's journeys you dream
Would you dream them with me?
In Pekoe's song Atlantica, the singer portrays a beautiful picture of love where the taste of salt in the air and the anchor set in the ocean is not enough to keep the singer away from their partner. The world may seem small, but the dreams of the lover are almost as big as the oceans they sail. The duo may be apart physically, but the connection is still strong and alive. The partner invites the singer to sink in "Atlantica," to dive deep into their thoughts, skin, and emotions. The journey may be tough, but the offer of companionship is an open one. The imperfections and flaws that one carries make them even more beautiful, and their emotions can be felt across the ocean. As the tide rises high with the partner's emotions, the singer can feel their waves when they leave. The song expresses a beautiful message of how true love is not bound by physical distance or imperfections as the deeper one dives, the stronger the connection is felt.
Line by Line Meaning
I can taste the salt from over here in the air
I can feel the essence of the sea even from a distance
Anchor's set but I still feel you out there
I am anchored, but I still sense your presence
The world is as small as it seems
The world is as limited as we perceive it
But your heart on the other hand
But your heart, on the contrary,
Is almost as big as these dreams you leave
Is as vast as the dreams you leave behind
Atlantica sink me in
Let me immerse myself in Atlantica
In your thoughts, in your skin, past this barren land,
In your mind, in your essence, beyond this lifeless terrain,
Show me the deep
Reveal to me the profound
If it's journeys you dream
If it's voyages you envision
Would you dream them with me?
Would you join me in these journeys?
All your flaws they are a work of art
Your imperfections are a masterpiece
What's imperfect is the prettiest part
The most beautiful aspect is the flawed one
And the tide rises high when you cry
And the tide elevates when you weep
'Cause the ripples you gently awake
Because the wake you stir gently
Become waves that roam free when they leave
Become waves that roam unbounded when they depart
In your thoughts, in your skin, in this ocean you steer,
In your thoughts, in your essence, in this sea you navigate,
In your wild emotions, take me deep
In your unbridled feelings, take me to the profound
Oh I fall in love when I see
I fall in love when I witness
Your heart worn out on your sleeve
Your heart laid bare for all to see
When you are no longer afraid to leave
When you are no longer fearful of departing
