sailor
The man from Managra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreaming that I was free
There was a stranger
Who had just flown from across the sea
Did you think I was hoping to meet a sailor?
I was hoping to meet a sailor
I was hoping to meet a sailor
Flying across the sea
This time, it was me
Was I looking for redemption
Or was I looking for sin?
Did I think I was hoping to meet a sailor?
I was hoping to meet a sailor
I was hoping to meet a sailor
Like me
Like a running stream
In alluding dream
I will dream I'm a stream
A stream, drawn to you
And time passes
Makes things happen
And this lovely intersection
Turns into reconsection
I was hoping to meet a sailor
I was hoping to meet a sailor
I was hoping to meet a sailor
Like me
Like me
Or like you
I was hoping to meet a sailor
I was hoping to meet a sailor
I was hoping to meet a sailor
Like you
The Man from Managra's song "Sailor" tells the story of a person wandering along the coast, dreaming of freedom and encountering a stranger who has just flown across the sea. The singer seems to question their own intentions for being there, wondering if they are seeking redemption or sin. The repetition of the line "I was hoping to meet a sailor like me" suggests this person may be seeking someone to share their experiences with, someone who understands their longing for freedom and may have similar desires.
As the song progresses, the singer compares themselves to a stream in a dream, drawn towards the stranger they have met. Time passes and their meeting transforms from a chance encounter to a more purposeful connection, with the line "this lovely intersection, turns into reconsection." The repeated phrase "I was hoping to meet a sailor like me, or like you" suggests that while the singer may have been seeking someone like themselves, they are open to connecting with someone who may have a different perspective or story to share.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sailor" convey a sense of searching for connection and understanding, and the desire to find someone who shares similar experiences and hopes.
