The Sea
Projeto Caleidoscópio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting by the waiting tide
Waiting wasting time
Waving in the sliding melody

As I look for far horizons
Just to see my way in the sea
Four winds blow the smell of you to me and I see
Needle of compass go spinning round and round
A full glowing moon will come to meet the falling sun

Though the sea is there for you
All that we can see is so afar




Could I know where goes the stream
I would wave my way for you to see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Projeto Caleidoscópio's song "The Sea" convey a sense of longing, waiting, and searching for something beyond reach. The opening lines, "Waiting by the waiting tide, waiting wasting time," suggest a feeling of being stuck or stagnant, waiting for something to happen. The repetition of the word "waiting" reinforces the idea of time passing by without clear direction or purpose. The next line, "Waving in the sliding melody," paints a vivid picture of someone floating or swaying to the rhythm of a melodic ocean wave, perhaps finding solace or escape in the music.


The following lines, "As I look for far horizons, just to see my way in the sea," express the singer's desire to find their path or purpose amidst the vastness of the sea. The mention of the four winds carrying the scent of someone, possibly a lost love, suggests a longing for connection and the struggle to navigate emotions. The spinning compass needle symbolizes confusion and uncertainty, further emphasizing the difficulty of finding direction. The mention of a "full glowing moon" meeting a "falling sun" hints at the cyclical nature of life and the passing of time.


In the final lines, the singer reflects on the distance between themselves and the sea, acknowledging that although the sea is there, it feels far away. The mention of a stream and the desire to "wave my way for you to see" suggests a longing to communicate or bridge the gap between two individuals.


Overall, "The Sea" paints a vivid emotional landscape of longing, waiting, and searching for direction and connection amidst the vastness of life's challenges.

Passing time in anticipation


Waving in the sliding melody
Moving along with the flowing melody


As I look for far horizons
Searching for distant possibilities


Just to see my way in the sea
To find guidance within the vast ocean


Four winds blow the smell of you to me and I see

Although the vast ocean is accessible to you


All that we can see is so afar
Everything we perceive seems distant

If only I knew the path of the flowing stream

I would signal my presence for you to notice
