The Sea
Van She Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've found ??
A rainy day forever
Bell that pings
Time and loose won't last away forever

And I became the tall care free
In your head dreams that never ever end
On to B.C
To breath the air till never
??
You and I and me and you together

And I became the tall refrain
In your head dreams that never ever end

Say Hello to me
Sail away with me

Re-drawn the earth
We slept till we were frozen
??
We spoke in tongs we never wanted spoken

And you said
Time will change
These things
For you will always be the same

Say Hello to me
Sail away with me

Now that I'm awake
You know that we are broken
The tiny hand
Is past with doors, were shut they are now are open

Cause I'm still the tall care free
In your head dreams that never ever end

Say hello to me
Sail away with me




Say hello to me
Sail away

Overall Meaning

with me


The lyrics of Van She's song The Sea illustrate the ups and downs of a relationship, starting with the feeling of endless happiness symbolized by a "rainy day forever." The opening line is somewhat ambiguous, but it seems to hint at a feeling of being lost or disconnected before the singer found something that felt permanent. The "bell that pings" in the second line is a sound effect that could represent a reminder of this happiness.


The song then describes the feeling of being carefree and untouchable in a relationship that seems too magical and perfect to end. This is symbolized by the line "And I became the tall carefree in your head dreams that never ever end." The second verse describes a trip to British Columbia, where the couple can breathe fresh air and "never" leave each other. However, even in this idyllic setting, there is a hint of tension, as the lyrics suggest that something is "broken" and that the singer is aware of it.


The bridge of the song is somewhat cryptic, but it seems to describe a moment of crisis in the relationship. The singer is "awake" and aware that they are "broken," and they acknowledge that they can never go back to the way things were before. However, the final chorus is a return to the carefree feeling of the beginning of the song – a request to "sail away" and escape from reality, at least for a little while.


Overall, the lyrics of The Sea paint a vivid picture of a relationship that starts off full of promise and ends in disillusionment. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of looking back on a happy memory and realizing that it can never be recaptured.
