| Sleeping At Last – Watermark Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is a metaphor of birth and wha the child is given when it comes to the world You were carved out of the sea- you were already part of everything but you were chosen to live as a human. Watermarked by your ancestry- you have a family, a past. You have it all set. In a tug of war between the tide and me- he is talking about the physical birth of coming out of the womb. What felt like loss was a victory- after going through the experience of birth, he realized that being born isn't a loss, but a victory. Cause you were swept ashore like bottles holding prayers- you were really wanted by your family, you were prayed for. the rest of this song is aout growing up in the world and what you have, and the challenges you have to face but you must do so with bravery and courage and be earnest. You were given hardships but you have take them as they come. "For the life you were born to claim And the water will be paralyzed By the courage you contain' And the flutter of your earnest heart |
