Morgan provided keys and vocals for M83's fifth album Saturdays = Youth, and subsequently completed a tour with the band through Australia, Europe, and the US in 2008. She then continued to tour with the band as they opened for The Killers in 2009. After coming back from touring she taught herself Pro Tools and released her debut EP This Frontier
The band name is derived from the Celtic origin of Morgan, which is "white sea dweller".
Stay Young Get Stoned
White Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I wanna do get lost in my smoke,
Stay young, get stoned
Even if we're trying figure out
All I wanna do get lost in my smoke
Stay young, get stoned
Always late, always faded
Still you wanna play, tell them wait in
Losing faith, losing for???
Happy people, I'm never sad
Hard things just wasting away
If you save stuff for growing up
All I wanna do get lost in my smoke,
Stay young, get stoned
Even if we're trying figure out
All I wanna do get lost in my smoke
Stay young, get stoned
And I always had my changing???
I was gone, with the habit
Don't you feel sorry for me now
Happy people, I'm never sad
Hard things just wasting away
If you save stuff for growing up
All I wanna do get lost in my smoke,
Stay young, get stoned
Even if we're trying figure out
All I wanna do get lost in my smoke
Stay young, get stoned
The lyrics to White Sea's "Stay Young Get Stoned" appear to be a celebration of youthful rebellion and living in the moment. The repeated refrain "stay young, get stoned" seems to encourage listeners to enjoy life and not worry about the future. The lyric "if you save stuff for growing up, all I wanna do is get lost in my smoke" invokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when things were simpler and responsibilities were fewer. The lines "happy people, I'm never sad, hard things just wasting away" suggest that the singer is content with a carefree lifestyle and is not interested in conforming to societal norms.
The verses provide a bit of contrast to the chorus, with the lyric "always late, always faded, get yourself up" seeming to acknowledge that there are consequences to living a life of excess. However, the lines "losing faith, losing for???" and "I always had my changing???" are a bit difficult to decipher and may be intentionally vague. Overall, the song seems to be an ode to youthful rebellion and the desire to live in the moment.
