The Temper Trap – The Sea Is Calling Lyrics 9 years ago
It feels like someone who is lost of purposes, being called back into the world. Some of the lines make me think of the modern day corporate slave: toil with our day, take home the dirt, rendered us as slave.

I'm still confused with the first two lines of the chorus : "Tucked in the conner of earth - Naked in light we are birthed". From what I feel, it sounds like a soul are born into this world, so pure and has no purpose in life. And then "the sea calling" is life when you growing up, having experience what life meant to be. The sea here is also represent how up and down life is, same as how the sea is: calm, vast, endless but sometime rough, angry that can overthrow any individual.

This song really messes me up with some if its lines.
