Hello
The Seahorses Lyrics

The Seahorses's song 'Hello' explores the idea of change and the personal struggles that come alongside it. The lyrics "I know the wind and the rain and the lightning, and the thunder's filled my brain, Have I changed? I'm asking you", suggest that the songwriter (perhaps frontman Chris Helme), has been through a tumultuous time, experiencing the difficulties that come with change whilst questioning whether or not he has changed in the process.

However, the lyrics then move on to focus on the positivity and hope that can be found in life with lines such as "All I know is the sun and it's shining, way above my cloud so high it can't be found, We all look around". The songwriter is suggesting that despite the challenges of life, there is always hope and something positive to focus on.

The refrain of the song, "Hello, and I hope you're still my friend, I think I'm on the mend, And you know, I don't mean to offend", seems to be addressing a specific person, potentially a friend or loved one, who the songwriter may have had some tension or conflict with. The lyrics demonstrate a desire for reconciliation and a desire to move forward harmoniously.

Interestingly, the song ends with the line "I wish we all could fly", which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the freedom to rise above the challenges and struggles of life, suggesting a longing for a sense of liberation and a desire for life to be easier.
