The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Swelling Sea" by the artist "Tow’rs"

Contents

In Tow’rs' song "Swelling Sea," the lyrical hero compares himself to a raging, irrepressible sea yearning for change, while his beloved is likened to the calm and eternal moon.

The hero is in a state of transformation: "I am molten steel, ready to take a new form." He feels like a powerful force, similar to waves relentlessly rushing towards the shore. The moon, the object of his adoration, symbolizes patience, constancy, and wisdom. She observes his turmoil and reassures: "There’s a time for everything. A season for everything."

The image of a "swaying clock pendulum" emphasizes the hero's impatience and impulsiveness, contrasting them with the moon's unwavering serenity. The "craters" on her surface can be interpreted as scars from past trials that the moon, unlike the turbulent sea, has endured. Her "snow-white light" carries healing and hope.

In the final stanzas, the hero calls upon his beloved to appear as soon as possible. He craves her presence, which is compared to a powerful wave and a dazzling dawn capable of dispelling darkness. The repetition of the phrase "You say there’s a time for everything. A season for everything" indicates that the hero, despite his impatience, still believes in the wisdom of the moon and is willing to wait for her.

Tell the keeper to wait for me

The moon must see something I don't see

I'm hot steel ready for molding

Like the waves were meant for folding

I am the swelling sea

You're the moon pulling on me

Sayin' all in time, all in good time

All in time, all in good time

And I am a pendulum clock that swings

And you are ever so patient with me

The surface is covered with craters

Only your white light can fill

I am the swelling sea

You're the moon pulling on me

Sayin' all in time, all in good time

All in time, all in good time

Come

Like some swift strong tide

Like the dawn

Takes the darkness from the night

Come

(I'm the swelling sea, you're the moon pulling on me)

Like some swift strong tide

Like the dawn

(Sayin' all in time, all in your good time)

Takes the darkness from the night

Sayin' all in time, all in good time

All in time, all in good time
