I agree, this song is amazing. I'm trying to figure out what the lyrics might be about. Being that his lyrics tend to be pretty introspective and come from a personal place, I could see this song being about him drawing objects in the sand and building sand castles, and then the water rises up and ruins them (ten tall cities sinking in the surf) in some kind of childhood memory. At the same time it almost seems like he is dropping references to climate change the way he talks about the oceans rising and drifting off course and so forth. What is your take?
