Reaching Home Lyrics

The ocean wants me
Never had to look under water
Has it been ruled
The never ending current pulls me through
Waiting, waiting
How is has been flowing since I was a boy
Swimming, lightning
Coming home, I am going home

Wash it all away, end up strong
These eye have grown, these eyes have shown
Watching the horizon, hoping for
The cliffs to rise above the shore

The tide rises far above
The sky fades into the sea
The awareness slowly ebbs away
As light surely will find me

As calm as inside a womb
As the skies are filled
With shades of gloom
The watchers of time have foretold
That this life will find its way back home

Even a man who fights the cold
Fears the depths of his own soul
Under the stars that share his light
Sinking slow and reaching home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

After listening a few times, I believe the song's meaning is about suicidal behavior. He's connecting with this place, like comfort or escape from reality "The ocean wants me, never had to look underwater" daydreaming having thoughts about suicide "Has it been ruled, the never ending current pulls me through" this part 'Watching the horizon and hoping for The clouds to rise above the shore." As mentioned that from before he waits to pass like the flow. Waiting and flowing like the water? I'm thinking by flowing that he means he feels existing is a task He mentions "The awareness slowly haves her way" he was paying attention to the sky until reality hit him "As night surely will find me" rumination The place is calm but he isn't. the watchers I'm not sure if he means smth from the bible with the watchers. From the last part "Sinking slow and reaching home" reaching as finding peace? Tired of rumination, ending it all?
