Atlantica
Pekoe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can taste the salt from over here in the air
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
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?

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?

Overall Meaning

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
