In the Open Sea
Scald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s not for you rescue in the open sea
It will call try your self on the wind
Kill your endless fear before the element
The sea is delusive and mysterious it turn from killing

An avalanche of waves in silence is beauty
On the sunset it is excellent
Like the light of Valhalla, Like the light of eternal life

In the open sea, In ride try for death
In the open sea try your self
On this true drakkar on final sail to fate
Go through death to Valhalla
Dark sky …Dark sky
Heaven, Heaven …
The sky… I go!
Killing !!!

In the open sea, In ride try for death
In the open sea try your self
On this true drakkar on final sail to fate
Go through death to Valhalla

Caring of a trial stronger and traveled into the ride
The unknown ride calls you to the distant shores
Through the death fog, I go to the unknown
Dark waves play with dark sinister power

Dark sky …Dark sky




Heaven, Heaven …
The sky… I go!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Scald's song "In the Open Sea" speak to the power and allure of the unpredictable sea. The song starts with a warning that the open sea is not a place for rescue - those who venture out must rely on themselves and face their fears head on. The sea is described as delusive and mysterious, capable of both beauty and destruction. The second verse describes a stunning scene of waves in silence at sunset, evoking images of the mythical Valhalla or eternal life. The chorus repeats the call to ride out to the open sea, to try oneself and face death on a true drakkar (a Viking longship) in order to reach the afterlife of Valhalla. The final verse speaks to the unknown dangers and power of the sea, but the singer is undeterred and determinedly ventures forth into the unknown.
