Girl and the Sea

I don't think its about her death. In fact, I think that in the ocean she's finding another life away from the one she already has, as corny as it may sound. The package could be anything, it doesn't matter, it's just a symbol for this man's care. Under the ocean, she's found this more primal, natural existence, and all the things from her life melt away, she becomes little more than the animals that come to watch her in the water.

I reckon this is about a chick who's a drug addict. Diving beneath the waves is like taking the drug to escape from reality. The urge to take the drug is so strong it's like the addict has to "run so she be free" ASAP. Being under water or the sea is sometimes referred to as the feeling you get whilst on certain drugs. The guy being tackled by police is obviously in trouble with the law so I think the parcel contains drugs (as drugs are often wrapped into a parcel for hefty deals yo) and he's throwing it into the creek so the cops can't prove he had drugs on him. The girl (as with drug addicts) doesn't even have any thoughts about anything but the drug and getting to that escape ("the sea") so therefore she's not conscious of anything or anyone around her and has forgotten anything about her past because her life now is only about the drugs. The reference to flames and remains is talking about the places she's been and has tried to live but has had to move on to support the habit and has consequently left the place in ruins.

No place, some time we'll clear our eyes and when you're down i'll come around

This verse suggests that the person singing the song wants the girl to give up the drugs and once she's off them and has "come down" he will come back into her life.

A place I've found could be all ours but I've seen where you would rather be

Again with this verse the guy singing is trying to tell the girl he knows where a good place for them to be is (with each other, in reality, without drugs) but she has made it obvious that she has chosen drugs over what he has suggested.

Phew!!

So I think that fits the song, but who knows, it's the Presets!

THE END

[Edit: ]

I believe this song is narrated by a parent or guardian type with the verse "when she was young we'd ask her what shed like to be and shed close her eyes and dream" she dreamed of living a different life her whole life the parent guardian has to witness the choices she makes,(troubled guy, drugs, enemies)idk makes sense to me

the ocean is def a big symbol for escape. maybe she crosses the ocean to escape her current life. the parcel is probably something that the girl needs to remind her of her previous life, something that she must not do, or a symbol the guy uses to show some kind of importance.

oh my god this is so "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin. in the final scene the protagonist whos been seeking to break from societal (victorian) restraint strips naked and swims out to sea, finally free. This seems like a cool postmodern perspective or like alter story thing shit...yah

To me its totally about a relationship gone bad and a planned break up. All the friends and enemies she made along the way...
She has either pryed into his life and turned her back on her friends or has lost friends through this Since "they are no where in her thoughts", she obvisously is sick of them and doesnt care anymore and just wants to be done. As for him he might not be well liked but the break up is hurting him. the whole "tackled by police" is the break up, people dont like him and he cant do anything. The parcel he throughs is his plea for her to stay, and it wont hit her till tomarrow. The chorus is like nothing will be perfect but if you fall ill be here i dunno thats what i thought anyway A place I've found could be all ours but I've seen where you would rather be. this is where he's done but saying he tried.

Thats just what I thought sorry its so long

I believe this song is about a couple that can't be together, she runs away from him because there is something wrong with him, he is held back from being in a good relationship with her for whatever reason, could be he does drugs, hes an alcoholic or a criminal (ie he is tackled by police). So she runs from him and into the sea trying to forget him and everything he stands for (i.e. they are no where in her thoughts).

But a piece of him will always be with her and never leave her and she'll never truly be free of him. (the parcel that he throws across the bridge into the creek, it'll flow towards the sea, it will meet with her tommorow)

She doesnt know why things had to turn out this way, and she dreams of what it could of been like had it been different. (From far away the animals come gather round to see, but she knows not how they feel, and she knows not what it means,When she was young we'd ask her what she'd like to be, and she'd close her eyes and dream...)

The last verse sums up the whole song completely. Had he not been held back and chosen to live a bad life, it could of been a really good thing, but he chose not to change, so it will never be..

(A place I've found could be all ours but I've seen where you would rather be. )

its such a beautifully sad song, about one guy's loyalty to someone who doesnt care, the last verse just rips me apart

A boy and a girl love each other. They're outlaws and have a rich past full of illegal actions.

The girl finds a chance to escape her past actions and start anew somewhere else and realizes that her desire and need to escape exceeds her love for him and she dives beneath the waves and destroys/burns anything from her past (the "night glows" with the remains of her past).
