A Shoreline Perspective Lyrics
tonight ill lay here
the tides call my name but the land spares the depths of the sea
again youre waving
you swore you could swim but what now when your feet wont touch the ground
(do you remember who you used to be)
my sweet youre drowning
the shore beds my feet and theres no chance of me getting wet
but i swear
as you scream ill laugh
you scream "ironic" and beg for this fever to break
or the sweet cascading waves to pull you down
hey ocean floor
look how she longs for you
take her now for ive already left her for dead
its a childish thing you do splashing in the water
splashing
splashing
splashing
splashing
its a childish thing you do are you trying to..?
the tides call my name but the land spares the depths of the sea
again youre waving
you swore you could swim but what now when your feet wont touch the ground
(do you remember who you used to be)
the shore beds my feet and theres no chance of me getting wet
but i swear
as you scream ill laugh
you scream "ironic" and beg for this fever to break
look how she longs for you
take her now for ive already left her for dead
splashing
splashing
splashing

I think maybe it's talking about someone whos gotten in over their head with something and he now longer cares about helping them because he's already tried and they said they didn't need his help. But like now they realize they do and it's too late. Could be wrong though.
I think this song is about some guy and he was with this girl he liked but he felt the need to move on : "the tides call my name but the land spares the depths of the sea" (moving from the "depths of the sea" ((as in the complicated relationship)) to the shore where he feels safer)
I think that when they were together, she probably treated him like crap (i.e. ignoring him, not being very affectionate, and/or seeming not to need him at all) but when he finally decides to move on she realizes she does need him "you swore you could swim but what now when your feet wont touch the ground"
He feels content with himself for moving on and is glad he doesnt have to deal with her anymore. "as you scream ill laugh you scream "ironic" and beg for this fever to break" Its ironic that now that they are not together anymoer she all of the sudden loves him .
He finds her reaction to the break up immature and unreasonable thus the "its a childish thing you do splashing in the water...splashing" (splashing as in making a scene..)
well thats my take on it...
Woah Saraujo...that was a well good interpretation =]
