"The air is visible around you, Rising up and off your lips in slow currents. And I watch as your face is framed in it's slow currents. Drifting curls, a trailing path, A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash." like ccmmssjl12, i too, thought it was referring to smoking. but look deeper... "the air is visible around you," i picture a cool summer night, where you can see your breath when you breathe, and chris can see the girl's smokey breath surround her as she breathes in and out. "Rising up and off your lips in slow currents," again, as she breathes in and out, he can see her breath softly slip off her lips and he compares this to the ocean's currents, hence the title. "And I watch as your face is framed in it's slow currents." he can see the smokey breath frame her face, surround her face softly, and it moves very flowingly, like that of the ocean, hence the metaphor of currents. "Drifting curls, a trailing path," he mentions her hair and the path it follows down her face and near her breath. "A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash." here is where most would be convinced he is talking about a cigarrette, and i was a little sad when i thought that too, but then i knew chris wouldn't sing something like that, so i began to wonder: the 'long drag' is a deep breath taken by the girl, and as she breathes out, the smokey breath becomes a tress (which is a small lock of hair)... and this metaphorical lock of hair is truly just the girl's smokey breath, reflecting off the moonlight, making it blue and ash. ...that is what i think. :) |
