Footprints
Poema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breath in the lovely scent of ocean air
Iâve been looking but I donât know where
PC
Thereâs somewhere we can go
Where thereâs no more busy roads
Everyday at sunrise
Waiting on the daylight
Coming in the tide
Footprints in the sand are washing away
Our footprints in the sand are washing away
V2
Grey turns changing into color
Cool breeze blowing in the southern sky
C2
Meet me at the shoreline (shoreline)
Everyday at sunrise (sunrise)
Waiting on the daylight (daylight)
Coming in the tide (the tide)
Footprints in the sand are washing away
Our footprints in the sand are washing away
Darker the night to understand the light
Youâll always be by my side
Down
Meet me at the shoreline
Everyday at sunrise
The lyrics of "Footprints" by Poema paint a beautiful picture of the ocean and the love that the singer shares with someone. The opening line invokes a sense of relaxation and peace, as the singer inhales the lovely scent of the ocean air. However, amidst the tranquil setting, the singer admits to feeling lost and uncertain. Perhaps, they are searching for something elusive or someone special who they cannot locate.
The pre-chorus offers hope and a solution to the singer's problem. There is a place where the singer and their loved one can go to escape the hustle and bustle of life. This place, by the shoreline, is free from the noise of busy roads, and it is waiting for the singer and their special someone. The chorus repeats the invitation to the shoreline, where the singer and their loved one can wait for the sunrise, as they watch the tide come in and erase their footprints.
The second verse continues the theme of beauty and change, as the singer watches the grey sky turn into vibrant colors and feels the cool breeze blowing in from the south. The second chorus repeats the same lyrics as the first, emphasizing the importance of this special place by the shoreline. The ending lines of the song are a comforting reminder that, even in the darkness, the two will always be together.

Breath in the lovely scent of ocean air
Take a deep breath of the refreshing sea breeze around you
I've been looking but I don't know where
I've been searching incessantly, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet
There's somewhere we can go
There's a place where we can find peace and happiness
Where there's no more busy roads
A place where there's no hustle and bustle of noisy city life
Meet me at the shoreline
Come and meet me at the seashore
Everyday at sunrise
Let's start each day together by watching the sunrise
Waiting on the daylight
We'll wait for the sun to rise and start a new day
Coming in the tide
The tide brings life to the shore and refreshes our soul
Footprints in the sand are washing away
The traces we left behind on the sand are slowly disappearing
Our footprints in the sand are washing away
The marks we left are soon getting washed away, but our memories will last forever
Grey turns changing into color
The world around us is changing and transforming into a more wonderful and colorful place
Cool breeze blowing in the southern sky
The refreshing wind is blowing from the South and leaving a sense of calm and tranquility

You'll always be by my side
You'll never leave my side, and we'll face every challenge together

The song is moving to the next verse
Meet me at the shoreline
Come and meet me at the seashore

The traces we left behind on the sand are slowly disappearing
Our footprints in the sand are washing away
The marks we left are soon getting washed away, but our memories will last forever
