The name Seafret, as well as being a pun on the guitar fret board, is also a local term for the two boys; it applies to the rolling mists that come in off the North Sea during summer. Now living in London, the sea is what the duo miss the most.
First meeting at an open mic night around 2011, the two had distinctly different levels of experience. Though a few years younger, Harry Draper was an experienced local musician; Jack Sedman, meanwhile, had quite literally only just discovered his voice.
Seafret released their debut EP 'Give Me Something' on Sweet Jane Recordings on September 21st 2014. The ‘Give Me Something’ EP features five tracks, ‘Give Me Something’, ‘Explosion’, ‘Play With Guns’, ‘Did We Miss The Morning’ and an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Something’ that bookends the EP.

Seafret Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lights bores onto me
I can feel you lying there all on your own
We got here the hard way
All those words that we exchange
Is it any wonder things get dark?
I never take back the things I said
So high above
I feel it coming down
She said
In my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end
Oh no, Oh no...
I can't save us
My Atlantis
We fall
We've built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us
My Atlantis
Oh no
We've built it up to pull it down
Now all the birds have fled
The hurt just leaves me scared
Losing everything I've ever known
It's all become too much
Maybe I'm not built for love
If I knew that I could reach you I would go
It's in my heart, it's in my head
You can't take back the things you said
So high above
I feel it coming down
She said
In my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end
Oh no, Oh no...
I can't save us
My Atlantis
Oh no
We've built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us
My Atlantis
Oh no
We've built it up to pull it down
And we've built it up
And we've built it up
And we've built it up to pull it down
And we've built it up
And we've built it up
And we've built it up to pull it down
I can't save us
My Atlantis
We fall
We've built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us
My Atlantis
Oh no
We've built it up to pull it down
Seafret's "Atlantis" is an emotional ballad that speaks to the feelings of heartbreak and loss, specifically the loss of a relationship that was once strong but has now crumbled. The song tells the story of two people who have struggled to maintain their love, and who have finally reached the end of the road. The lyrics use powerful imagery to convey the deep sense of sadness and regret that the singer is feeling.
The first verse of "Atlantis" sets the stage for the rest of the song. The opening lines, "The birds have left the trees, The lights bores onto me" paint a picture of emptiness and loneliness. The next line, "I can feel you lying there all on your own," suggests that the relationship has ended, and that the singer is now alone.
The second verse of the song is where the emotion really comes through. The singer reflects on the journey they have taken as a couple, and wonders whether the many words and promises they exchanged were worth it. The lines "Is it any wonder things get dark? / It's in my heart, it's in my head / I never take back the things I said" communicate the deep pain and regret that the singer is feeling.
In the chorus, the singer admits that they can't save the relationship, and likens it to the mythical city of Atlantis, which was said to have sunk into the sea due to its own hubris. The repeated line "We've built it up to pull it down" underscores the idea that the relationship was once strong, but was ultimately doomed to fail.
