Tall Ships Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there something going on?
Or is it all in my stupid little head?
So I thought I'd come to you straight
Tell you how I feel, and hope that you can relate
Because it's hard to be alone sometimes
Without you at my side
And feel the warmth of your light
It pulls me in
And pushes me out again so far
I was hoping
To put an end to these tides
So I thought I'd come to you straight
Sing my swan song and know that you feel the same
Because it's hard to be alone sometimes
Without you by my side
I'm dying here just to hold you
And feel the warmth of your light
Without you by my side
I'm dying here just to hold you
And bathe in the light
That pulls me towards you
Without you by my side
I'm dying here just to hold you
And bathe in the light
That pulls me towards you
Without you by my side
I'm dying here just to hold you
And bathe in the light
That pulls me towards you
Without you by my side
I'm dying here just to hold you
And bathe in the light
That pulls me towards you
The lyrics of Tall Ships’ “Lucille” reveal a sense of longing and desperation as the singer tries to express his emotions to Lucille. He wonders if she feels the same way he does, or if it’s all in his head. He wants to be with her and feel the warmth of her light, but finds it hard to be alone. The singer acknowledges that the ebb and flow of their relationship is like the tides, in that it pulls them in and pushes them out again. He hopes that by telling her how he feels, she will feel the same and they can end the cycle of isolation.
The lyrics demonstrate a vulnerability and honesty from the singer, as he lays his emotions bare before Lucille. He is willing to take a chance and confess his love, despite the possibility of rejection. The repetition of the phrase “Without you by my side” emphasizes the singer’s dependency on Lucille, and his unwillingness to live without her.
Overall, “Lucille” is a heartfelt ballad that showcases the struggle of human connection and the necessity of love in our lives.
