The album "From the Wreckage" glows with a rootsy golden tone that encompasses everything from indie-folk, to alt-country, to blues-rock to Southern psychedelia. The raucous first single โWith Your Two Handsโ sounds like it could have been written during an impromptu back-porch jam session.
My Mind Is An Endless Sea
The Wind and the Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe if I am good to him, he'll be good to me
Better days, we get to look forward to
They say "all's well when it ends well"
That's why I come home to you
Home to you
Home to you
Why you carrying all that mess around?
Breathe it in, let it out, settle down
Why you carrying all that mess around?
My mind is a thunderstorm
And the rain is falling harder than I've ever seen before
Or summer day when the sun don't shine
I can't get my feet back on the ground till the clouds roll by
I know you
I know you well
Breathe it in, let it out, settle down
Why you carrying all that mess around?
Breathe it in, let it out, settle down
Why you carrying all that mess around?
I wouldn't waste another day
Running around this crazy town
Running from the mess you made
I'm gonna find another way
To get along, love somebody
I know it's gonna be okay
So breathe it in, let it out, settle down
Why you carrying all that mess around?
Breathe it in, let it out, settle down
Why you carrying all that mess around?
Breathe it in, let it out, settle down
Why you carrying all that mess around?
Breathe it in, let it out, settle down
In the song "My Mind Is An Endless Sea" by The Wind and the Wave, the singer describes their mind as an "endless sea" and a "thunderstorm" that they cannot control. They hope that if they are good to their mind, it will be good to them in return. The singer looks forward to better days, believing that everything will be alright as long as it ends well. They come to the realization that carrying all their worries and troubles around with them is only weighing them down, and they need to let it all out to settle down. They seek refuge in their home and in someone they know well. The singer also acknowledges that they need to stop running from the mess they made and find another way to get along and love somebody, believing that everything will be okay.
The lyrics suggest a theme of mental health and self-care. The singer recognizes that their mind is hard to control and that they need to take care of it in order for it to take care of them. They also reflect on the notion that it's better to face problems head-on than to run away and avoid them. The repetition of "Breathe it in, let it out, settle down" throughout the song emphasizes the importance of taking a moment to breathe and let go of the weight we carry with us.

I can't tell is this is a breakup song, or a comforting song... And now I'm afraid to send it to my girlfriend because I don't want her to get the wrong message! But I think this would help her a lot, if it isn't about breaking up.

Bit of a necropost.
Its not a breakup song
