A Sailor Went to Sea Sea Sea
The C.R.S. Players Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a way we are lost together in a giant sea
In a way we all try to survive
We're just good and bad sailors trying to find our way
We meet people we don't want to but
We met each other
We have to survive stormy weathers
But one day we'll see the light
One day We'll see the light

One day I'll anchor at bay and I promise I won't leave
The ship we built together is not meant to sail
'Cause you've waited for me for so damn long
I need you now and forever
You wait for me for so damn long

And suddenly our crew gets from 2 to 3
Like a precious stone we watch over it
We are just rich from the love we give and get
Not from the one we earn

One day our child will sail away on his own
Maybe it's the last time we see his face
Like us before he have to find his own way
As we see him leave today
We don't have to be afraid

One day I'll anchor at bay and I promise I won't leave
The ship we built together is not meant to sail
'Cause you've waited for me for so damn long
I need you now and forever
You wait for me for so damn long

You wait for me for so damn long
You wait for me for so damn long
You wait for me for so damn long
You wait for me for so damn long

In a way we are lost together in a giant sea

One day I'll anchor at bay and I promise I won't leave
The ship we built together is not meant to sail
'Cause you've waited for me for so damn long




I need you now and forever
You wait for me for so damn long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "A Sailor Went to Sea Sea Sea" by The C.R.S. Players paint a metaphorical picture of navigating through life and relationships. The line "In a way we are lost together in a giant sea" suggests that as human beings, we often feel lost and uncertain. The idea of survival is mentioned, indicating that each person is trying their best to navigate the challenges thrown their way. Despite the ups and downs, the lyrics emphasize the importance of finding each other and forming connections.


The song speaks of meeting people we may not necessarily want to encounter, but also acknowledges the significance of meeting each other. This could refer to the idea that even though we may encounter individuals who challenge us, they play a role in shaping our journey. Stormy weathers symbolize the difficulties and obstacles faced in life, and the hope expressed in "One day we'll see the light" signifies the belief that there will be resolution and clarity eventually.


The lyrics take a personal turn when the focus shifts to a relationship. The singer promises not to leave, indicating a commitment to the person they are addressing. The metaphor of a ship not meant to sail suggests that their love is not meant to be transient or fleeting. The line "You've waited for me for so damn long" conveys a sense of longing and gratefulness for the patience and endurance their partner has shown.


The lyrics then shift again to expand the metaphor to include a child that will eventually grow and embark on their own journey. The emotions of letting go and watching the child find their own way are expressed, but with a reassurance that they do not need to be afraid. This suggests that the parents have confidence in their child's ability to navigate and face the challenges ahead.
