Salty Seas Lyrics
Salty Seas
I'm not saying that
I felt like you cared
I'm not saying that
I want to go back
The salty sea behind the eyes
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
I was so green
nothing could touch me
I'm not saying that
this is good or bad
I'm not saying that
I wanna go
The salty sea behind the eyes
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
the summer dream behind the eye
and it's the sleep that makes me alive
the sudden ease when you arrive
and it's you
that makes me try
I felt like you cared
I'm not saying that
I want to go back
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
nothing could touch me
I'm not saying that
this is good or bad
I'm not saying that
I wanna go
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
and it's the sleep that makes me alive
the sudden ease when you arrive
and it's you
that makes me try

this song is so depressing but its so beautiful i love the metaphor of the sea being tears. and the ending is like a perfect story book ending, a bit uplifting.
This song was used in The Walking Dead: A TellTale Series and it fit the themes that abounded within the storyline. Here are some literary devices I found:
"salty seas"-tears for what she has lost "the falling leaf that never tries"-one who finds no purpose in living "was so green"-possibly one who is young and tender "summer dream"-that dying glimmer of hope that things will get better "sleep that keeps me alive"-possibly the hope of finding a home "the sudden ease when you arrive"-a loved one whom she held dear "you...make me try"-she goes on in life because of him and everything he has done.
