I've come to apply this song to my own experience reflecting on a girl from the past. We were so young, really missing what we had together. "I can feel you, in the rising tide, Can you feel me, by the fire side..." Quite literally sitting alone on the beach staring at the waves where we used to watch them and once made s'mores together as the sun set, wondering if she was also thinking about me. "From the moonlight through the cherry trees" was a time briefly after the breakup when I was finally at peace with what happened, spending some time apple picking back home with family and friends reflecting in nature. And as I began to heal and move on from the bitterness, I began to really embrace and appreciate what we had together. Remembering a time we were on the roof in each other's arms overlooking the Bay "Open the roof and take in the view, Cause you're my sweetest dream come true" because that's what she was and still is to me, "my sweetest dream come true~" And just looking back nostalgically on those wonderful years we shared together continues to make me smile. "Colour the dusk, deep navy blue And try to be brave Cause I'll be right beside you" We met in college where one of the school colors is navy. So naturally I felt a little bit of school pride, to be proud of where you're coming from and use it as fuel when life of confusion begins after college. In spirit I wanted to motivate and support her, so that she may find faith, clarity, and direction in herself just as I have. And that she would be content with herself and reach out as the opportunities in life are endless. "There's a world so high Hold out your hands And you can go anywhere So reach for the stars 'Cause I'll be waiting up there And you can finally fly Cause you'll be lighter than air" "Lighter than air" is the state in which I feel nowadays, free from confusion and denial of my own self, and I'm finally at a place where I'm content with myself with determination like I never had before. And I understand now that I might never have gotten to this place in my life if she didn't leave me, as I continue to believe that one of the best teachers in life is a broken heart. Maybe also Owl City, because I always seem to discover one of Adam Young's songs when I'm letting someone go. I hope for her that she will inevitably reach this place as well, as if I was waiting for her there. Maybe a metaphor that someday we could be together again, either here in this world, or the perfect Youtopia of joy and happiness that is heaven. Although the dream is over now, my real life has begun, and I wish her the best in her future endeavors and I sincerely hope she finds what she is looking for. |
