The name, Poets of the Fall, comes from the idea that two opposites form a whole, ie. there isn't one without the other. "Poets" here represent the positive side and "the Fall" the negative. Of course, when you join these two concepts, the "Poets" starts to sound just a tad mischievious as well... depends, of course, on how you perceive "the Fall". You might see it as a beautiful crisp season and the "Poets" are its insightful architects...

Morning Tide
Poets of the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll look over the waves to the break of day
I'll hold your hand, I'll hold you close
I'll wipe away your tears, and no one will know
On the morning tide
We'll hoist the sails to brave the crashing waves
Won't you come with me and hear the ocean sigh
Won't you sail to the shore with me
Come to me now, and together we'll go
Where the clearer winds blow, far and beyond
Leaving behind all our sorrow and pride
Kissing them goodbye, into another life
On the morning tide...
Won't you come with me
Sail to the shore with me
Won't you come with me, come with me, come with me, sail
Love is still here
Never will it leave
You're always with me, and I'm always with you
On the morning tide...

Rise with me now, and we'll walk to the shore
Let's get up together and walk towards the shore
We'll look over the waves to the break of day
Let's watch the waves as the day breaks
I'll hold your hand, I'll hold you close
I'll be there with you, holding your hand and embracing you
I'll wipe away your tears, and no one will know
I'll be there to comfort you, even though it may seem like no one knows
On the morning tide
As the morning rolls in
We'll hoist the sails to brave the crashing waves
Let's face the difficulties ahead and overcome them together
Won't you come with me and hear the ocean sigh
Come with me and listen to the sound of the ocean
And if to its depths it called us by our names
If the ocean beckoned us into its depths
Won't you sail to the shore with me
Won't you come with me as we journey towards the shore
Come to me now, and together we'll go
Come towards me, and together we'll proceed
Where the clearer winds blow, far and beyond
Where there is clarity and possibility in the direction the winds are carrying us
Leaving behind all our sorrow and pride
Letting go of our pain and ego
Kissing them goodbye, into another life
Saying farewell to them and moving on to a new stage of our lives
Love is still here
Love remains present
Never will it leave
It will never abandon us
You're always with me, and I'm always with you
We're constantly together, through thick and thin
Won't you come with me
Join me in this journey
Sail to the shore with me
Let's navigate towards the shore together
Won't you come with me, come with me, come with me, sail
Please come with me, let's depart together
On the morning tide...
As the morning flows in
