I heard that that Sea Change was a breakup album after his long-term girlfriend was cheating on him. I feel like this whole album reflects on Beck's feelings of isolation and pain during the breakup, the pains of trying to move on defines this album. The imagery is amazing, I can just imagine Beck driving his pain away and letting the wind "cool his aching head", presumably full of negative and painful thoughts. The line "These days I barely get by, I don't even try", gets to me the most, it's like trying to let go of all the pain yet you are still conscience of it existing, sometimes you don't even feel like trying you want to lie down and watch the world drift by as you are heartbroken. That's what I got from it anyways.
