The Sea Lyrics

Flocking to the sea
Crowds of people wait for me
Sea gulls scavenge
Steal ice cream
Worries vanish
Within my dream

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

Fishing boats sail past the shore
No singing may-day any more
The sun is shining
The Water's clear
Just you and I walk along the pier

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp
Some get stung it's worth the cost
I'd love to stay
The city calls me home
More hassles fuss and lies on the phone

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control with you,
And living, living,
And I, living, by the sea

essentially, this is the audio equivalent of an autumn day at the beach. clouds in the sky, a chill in the air, but still very peaceful. wonderful

When I hear this song I imagine a lonely dock overlooking the sea and then this girl in a flowy dress on a cliff overlooking the dock.

Me finks this song is about someone who longs back to a certain holiday or vacationspot, where they got themselves lost in joyous lustful activities and managed to surpress the stress of everyday life.

My Interpretation

Hi ,

For me this song is way more then just describing the SEA or the artist's exploration of the wonders of a secluded sea or whatever . It speaks of something much Purer and higher. The Lines -

"I left my soul there, Down by the sea I lost control here Living free"

For me this means ten different things !! It can mean that the Author fell in love with the Sea and from that point on Started to ":Live:" ... For many others it can mean so so much..The point in the Line , LOST CONTROL , LIVING...

isn't it about Brighton though?

Cover art for The Sea lyrics by Morcheeba

This song is about someone that relishes that one spot... the place they can release and be themselves.. so much that they want to leave their soul there to return each time nd enjoy it.. over and over. Ordinary things are appreciated and can be special there.. the sea.

No more may days; nothing bad can happen here... life is simple fun and free.. of bullshit and just like a warm blanket for their soul.
