The Mechanical Waves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna sleep tonight 'till find myself in the night
Love is long, we are young
Far deep under sea where the sailors came to see
Love is long, we are young

Find my way, your home

All I lead, so wrong

Find my way, your home
All I lead, so wrong
So wrong
(So wrong)
So wrong
(So wrong)
So wrong
(So wrong)
So wrong
(So wrong)
So wrong
(So wrong)
So wrong

(So wrong)
So

I wanna sleep tonight 'till find myself in the night
Love is long, we are young
Far deep under sea where the sailors came to see
Love is long, we are young




Find my way, your home
All I lead, so wrong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Sailors" by The Mechanical Waves & Yngrid Bitencourt depict a sense of longing and searching for love. The opening lines "I wanna sleep tonight 'till find myself in the night" show a desire to escape reality and enter into a space of self-reflection and contemplation. The chorus "Love is long, we are young" reflects a feeling of being caught between the desire for a lasting relationship but also feeling like time is fleeting.


The lines "Far deep under sea where the sailors came to see" give a mystical and surreal image of being underwater, possibly seeking something elusive and unattainable. The repeated phrase "So wrong" at the end of each stanza, could be an expression of feeling lost or unsure of one's path.


Overall, the song portrays a sense of yearning for love and meaning, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The themes of love and loss, youth and time, and searching for a higher purpose or connection are all explored through the haunting, dreamlike lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

I wanna sleep tonight 'till find myself in the night
I want to sleep until I can find myself in the darkness of night


Love is long, we are young
Love is a lengthy process, and we have a long life ahead of us to experience it


Far deep under sea where the sailors came to see
The sailors ventured deep under the sea to see what was hidden beneath


Find my way, your home
Help me navigate my way to your abode


All I lead, so wrong
Everything I've done so far has been a mistake


So wrong
It's all been so very wrong
