Earth to Sea Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm new as a cloud
Mm-mm
I light up as neon
Where will you go?
Where will you go? Just say it
You can let go
[Chorus]
I heard of a legend
And that’s where I go
If my sister calls
Tell her I'm diving into the deeper end
[Verse 2]
To the edge of wonder
Where the wire stretches
'Cause where I go
’Cause where I go it's trembling
'Cause where you go
'Cause where you go it's haunted
Goodbye stranger
[Chorus]
I heard of a legend
Where the others go
If my sister calls
Tell her I love her
Until the end of us
To the living dreams
I think I'm falling into the deeper end
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
Hidden fortress
Happy to see you
Now when I scream
No one can hear me
The deeper end
I fucking love it
Ooh, oh
Release your soul
Before you know it
May all of me
Be forgotten
I'm new as a cloud
Mm-mm
I light up as neon
Where will you go?
Where will you go? Just say it
You can let go
I heard of a legend
And that’s where I go
If my sister calls
Tell her I'm diving into the deeper end
To the edge of wonder
Where the wire stretches
'Cause where I go
’Cause where I go it's trembling
'Cause where you go
'Cause where you go it's haunted
Goodbye stranger
I heard of a legend
Where the others go
If my sister calls
Tell her I love her
Until the end of us
To the living dreams
I think I'm falling into the deeper end
Hidden fortress
Happy to see you
Now when I scream
No one can hear me
The deeper end
I fucking love it
Ooh, oh
Release your soul
Before you know it
May all of me
Be forgotten

The song seems to explore themes of transformation, escape, and self-discovery. In Verse 1, the speaker compares themselves to a "new" cloud, a transient and ever-changing entity, suggesting a fresh start or a new perspective. The phrase "I light up as neon" evokes brightness, visibility, or standing out, potentially signaling a moment of revelation or awakening. The repeated question "Where will you go?" seems to reflect uncertainty or a desire for freedom. The final line, "You can let go," implies release, either of control or emotional burden.
In the Chorus, the speaker refers to a "legend" as a place they're heading toward, which could symbolize an idealized goal or a mythic destination tied to personal growth or enlightenment. The mention of the sister and the deeper end may indicate a dive into something challenging or unknown, like embracing a deeper part of themselves. The deeper end could also symbolize confronting hidden or intense emotions. The idea of leaving a message for the sister may suggest a sense of departure or an emotional distance being created.
Verse 2 continues with an exploration of this journey, moving to the "edge of wonder" and "where the wire stretches," evoking images of walking a tightrope—possibly representing vulnerability or risk. The trembling and haunting aspects where the speaker and someone else go may refer to emotional instability or fear, hinting that this journey is fraught with tension. The farewell to a "stranger" may symbolize saying goodbye to a former version of themselves or a disconnected relationship.
In the Outro, the speaker mentions a "hidden fortress," which could be interpreted as a place of inner security or protection. Yet, despite reaching this place, they express that their screams go unheard, perhaps pointing to feelings of isolation or being misunderstood. The final lines, "Release your soul" and "May all of me be forgotten," suggest a desire for transcendence, letting go of the past or the ego, and embracing anonymity or dissolution.
Overall, the lyrics seem to describe a journey into deeper self-awareness, facing emotional challenges, and embracing transformation, even at the cost of personal identity. The "deeper end" symbolizes diving into the unknown or confronting inner turmoil, but it’s portrayed with a mix of exhilaration and surrender.
