Falling Into the Sea
the Machine in the Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ceases to be mine
In existence in visions
Arising in nothing
But having in everything
See in the distance
In the span of dreams
And fly in the consciousness
Of your mind
Time coming true
If only to need me
In encompassing
Love falling
Into the sea
The lyrics to "Falling Into the Sea" by Machine in the Garden speak about the ephemeral nature of existence and the elusive quality of love. The opening lines "That in realization / Ceases to be mine" suggest that the singer has come to a realization about their life, but that realization brings them no comfort or sense of ownership. The next few lines "In existence in visions / Arising in nothing / But having in everything" further emphasize this sense of intangibility and suggest that existence is more about the experiences we have than the things we possess.
The second stanza takes a more dreamlike turn, with the singer imagining a world where they can "fly in the consciousness / Of your mind." This is a beautiful image of romantic intimacy, suggesting that the singer longs to be so close to someone that they can become a part of their innermost thoughts. The last few lines "Love falling / Into the sea" further emphasize the elusive quality of love, suggesting that it is something that cannot be fully grasped or held onto.
Overall, the lyrics to "Falling Into the Sea" are poetic and introspective, exploring the tension between the transience of life and the timeless nature of love.
Line by Line Meaning
That in realization
What was once constructed conceptually now exists in reality
Ceases to be mine
My ownership and control over it dissolves
In existence in visions
It becomes tangible in my imagination
Arising in nothing
Origins and precursors are non-existent or irrelevant
But having in everything
Still omnipresent in all that surrounds us
See in the distance
Observe something far away
In the span of dreams
When asleep, in the realm of the subconscious
To sleep in the birth of the wind
Enter a state of slumber born from breezes, of natural and gentle origin
And fly in the consciousness
Soar in the awareness and thoughts
Of your mind
Of your own intellect and mental faculties
Time coming true
Now it becomes fully realized
If only to need me
Even if it's just to require my presence or attention
In encompassing
Completely surrounding and containing everything within it
Love falling
Feeling affection and adoration descend and penetrate one's self
Into the sea
Submerging oneself and giving fully into this powerful emotion

This is incorrect. There was never a single released. Funker Vogt never did a remix.

This is incorrect. The name is from a Leo Marx book of the same name.

It's the opening track for 1997's "Underworld" actually.
