Come With Me
The Inchtabokatables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to fill the sea
as the breeze caresses
each passing tree
somwehere else
soon to be
so is each moment
that's come unto me
and as each stroke
of the artists brush
the picture forms
each moment of contact
each time
that i touch
a kindred soul
so i become a part
of the greater whole
The lyrics to The Inchtabokatables' song Come With Me speak to the idea of interconnectedness and the transient nature of time. The first stanza compares the moments in our lives to raindrops that fall into the sea, emphasizing the small but significant moments that make up our lives. The imagery of the breeze caressing each passing tree further highlights this fleeting nature, as each moment is soon to be replaced by another. The chorus, "come with me, let's travel together" suggests that in this transient nature of time, human connection and relationships are what give life meaning and purpose.
The second stanza continues the theme of interconnectedness, comparing the strokes of an artist's brush to moments of contact between kindred souls. The idea is that just as each stroke of the brush contributes to the overall picture, each connection between people contributes to a greater whole. The final line "so I become a part of the greater whole" emphasizes that by being connected to others, we become part of something bigger than ourselves.
