I was on a cruise during Thanksgiving weekend 2009, listening to this song on my ipod and looking out at the ocean. Then, it struck me that this somg is about the majesty of oceans and what they mean to mankind. Spcifically, mankind's dependency on the world's oceans and seas for our very lives (at least our flesh).
"I watch her changing every day for me" seems to says that he relizes that we cannot survive without the positive impact these great bodies of water have on this planet and how they change and effect our weather, which directly impacts how we live, where we live and what we eat. "One day she's still, the next she swells, You can hear the universe in her sea shells" he is definately referring to the majesty of the world's oceans here, no doubt about it.....
"No, no line on the horizon, no line," The ocean is very difficult to get a bead on and she is very unpredictable. She is NOT land which HAS lines on it's horizon's.
"I know a girl with a hole in her heart, She said infinity is a great place to start,Time is irrelevant, it's not linear" he seems to be saying that the oceans are as close to an unchanged landscape as we're going to get and that when we look at the ocean's horizon it's the same horizon that has been seen by mankind for all mankind's time here on Earth, the oceans swallow up time like infinity as far as mankind is concerned.
"Then she put her tongue in my ear" this is a playful comment about how personal the ocean can be when we play in her waters; it's what happens when your playing in the surf (surfing or whatever) and you get pounded by a wave and get a whole lot of water in your ear.
"The songs in your head are now on my mind," This is the enjoyment she (the ocean) brings. "You put me on pause," meaning ee all like to stop and listen to the ocean surf crashing. "I'm trying to rewind and replay, Oh lord, Everyday" means even when we're not near the oceans we think of them and are comforted that they are there..
"Every night I have the same dream, I'm hatching some plot, scheming some scheme" this seems to be the alter ego of mankind in other men who have dreamt of conquering the world's oceans for thousands of years. Many men do conquer the world's oceans by poluting them which leads to a need for activism to care for the oceans and police their use.
"I'm a traffic cop, rue de Marais, The sirens are wailing but it's me that wants to get away" I think this is evidence of the innate desire to care for the world's oceans and feeling trapped in having to use celebrity to do so even though one might not want to take it on....
He's singing about the most important woman to all of us, the ocean.
