I - Song Meanings II - Lyrics III - Credits Part I - Song Meanings in two lines or less. 1. "Port in a Storm" - The illusion of a rescue during a hard time - sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. 2. "Cast Away" - You can do anything you want in this world - set your sails. 3. "Dive" - Encouraging a dive into a new perspective - don't always rely on the world you know. 4. "52 Hertz (The Whale Song)" - Tribute to the world's loneliest whale. Hoping she never gives up her search; keep singing until you find your mate. 5. "Meadow By The Sea" - When dreaming becomes more satisfying than reality, it might be time to be moving on to where your sights are set. 6. "Creepy Pirate Song" - Classic good man gone bad - the story of a pirate who lost his heart. 7. "Ebb and Flow" (LIVE) - Existentialism weighs heavy with two characters in this story, walking around under the moonlight, searching for something… maybe each other? 8.. "Shake Steady Babe" (LIVE) - Perfection comes from imperfection, inevitable grace - your shaking keeps you steady... 9. "Carly's Train" - It doesn't always work like the movies. Life sends a lot of different paths to choose, gotta do what is right for you. 10. "Holdin Out Your Thumb" - …that moment everything changes - embrace the sun behind the clouds. BONUS - "Sittin Watchin the Wind Blow" - well - it's about a monkey who is very happy with life, has no complaints, chills in the tree and watches the wind blow, reflecting on how easy it all is… Part II - LYRICS Port In A Storm Please little girl shine a light to me You're my port in a storm on a lonely sea I've gone a long way, follow birds and breeze And I need your love for some refugee I see it, I won't leave it I need a home. Maybe in time, Maybe in time, Maybe in time i'll sail on… No sunshine in my life and its hard to see Rain clouds and waves thunder over me I float in my boat hoping anxiously That my port in a storm will be there for me Whether you're really there or a mirage in air My mind and eyes find a place to stare I've gone a long way on a lonely sea And I need your love for some refugee Castaway Check the tide, castaway Set the sail, look back and wave One more time to the life On the island you were strayed It's time to get away Same old ride, gone insane Dead end, no means to escape From the island you confide Now its time to recreate It's time to get away Still a long way to go… I know tonight will be great Under stars that light the way To my next island find The mindset I need to re-pay To fulfill my destiny So pick your line towards the sun The horizon waits for anyone When you finally decide to sail towards the life you want Your fate is in your hands Dive Standing by the waterside its calling my name Blue reflects the clouds and I'm sensing a change in the way I'm seeing things. Creature swims by, looks me right in the eye Swam so cool and free, I'm wishing I could be right there So I dive right in I feel the current push me and it's getting strong You learn you can't fight it, just ride it along And I drift, it's effortless I swim within this world alone No destination or a home You gotta swim or you will drown But by the safety or you're complacent land You'll never understand what it means to swim free Out here there ain't a notion to hold an ego I hear my spirit roaring like a lion who knows he's alive I know I'm alive You can stay dry and watch the tide go by Or swim with all the motion of the ocean and life So I say, dive right in 52 Hertz (The Whale Song) She swims by the shore at sunrise And dives deep in descent But this little whale, she knows so well the way the day may end No one hears her calling Her song is not alarming Down to the sea, Where can she be? No answer her call, they can't hear at all. She hears the pod surrounding They disappear in the night She sang so loud, such beautiful sounds But still, alone tonight Slow going for the love you're trying to sway Keep singing to the sea til you find your mate And all she has lost is time and some age But her beauty and wisdom remain And her song she will sing, her true love will it bring? Meadow By The Sea Lately I've been wanting to sleep more than I need The dream state holds the key that will finally free All the chains that hold my heart down at my feet Seems the only place I want to be is in a lonely dream So I fall into, the place where I see you I don't need to try, just close my eyes… There's the meadow by the sea, she walks to the beach The sun hazily, gleaming upon her Naturally, the fields of green, turn to colors only seen In some dream before That I once knew, and I hope to see again Every hour she walks through the flowers That are blooming to see her, because they adore the way that she moves, and the smile she makes Creates the air love feeling everywhere Gypsy lady in my dream, follow me to reality To my earthly home and see what we can be When I'm not asleep Of course I can see you, I feel you, I hear my heart Booming in my chest, it's beating and I'm sweating And here comes the sun, but it's not the same one From the meadow I've begun to love as my home Creepy Pirate Song There's strange things looming in the air tonight The sea got colder and the waves are frightening the scene - a rupture in the universal scheme It was you and me Darkness shows it's face in my new heart Blackened to receive no more love I'm in between marrying the sea or it's floor Now I'm sailing around with skulls and bones For heartless men like me revenge is all I'll ever need No gold or silver replaces you and me Tales have been told of the one who lost His lady fair, she stole his heart and soul And now he screams deep into the dark blue empty sea Ebb and Flow Walking down a rocky coastline, feels like I got to the end The moon he sits low, hanging out like a comforting friend I hear the waves crashing, run to them as fast as I can But in this perfect moment, there's still one thing me don't understand She sits alone on her front porch watching the world pass her by Up above the stars are shining, 100 diamonds before her eyes Imagines that she had em all, to leave her little heart in disguise But honey knows the emptiness of material wealth and she cries If we were to go, and cross paths would we know If we never spoke, just smiled through the ebb and flow She's had it up to here and she follows the air to the sea Her heavy heart's been beckoning and leads her through broken dreams Sheds a tear in fear of walking down the beachside alone Wonders where her soul has gone to and if she'll ever call one her own If we were to go and meet up at the ebb and flow Do you think we'd ever know that we're probably a perfect hope? Shake Steady Babe Your shaking keeps you steady babe Come in the sun so warm over here In darkness its so easy to hide all your dreams and your fears So ride it out, let the pain down slow And keep it steady as you go Shake, shake it, shake it away Your shaking keeps you steady babe You got it in your mind and your soul Riding high like the wave you take Like grace, it's so inevitable Keep on living your life without the frays That will cut you up and infect you on the way Don't be afraid of change or pain or suffering These things lead to purity, exhaust them Embrace the change you take, don't be afraid. Shake it like you mean babe Shake away the pain in your bones Everybody is shaking off something You don't just leave it alone Carly's Train Carly babe I daydream about you Thinking that your eyes are here to stay When I awoke so sad and lonesome I knew you were oh so far away The tracks keep us so far apart And the trains don't run straight into my heart Carly, she's gonna roam around this Great big world just to find herself a home I told her once, told her twice But that girl, she got sights like ancient Rome Carly when we meet again Take my hand tell me you won't go Settle down, still the pace But that don't mean we got to take it slow Carly when you're sad and lonely Remember I'm your one and only man Do my time, pay my dues For your sweet love don't ever never lose The tracks keep us so far apart And Carly's train crashed straight into my heart Holdin' Out Your Thumb I can think of ways to waste a day The joy it brings, just sifting through sundays In spite of all the darkness in the world I found a glow in a pretty little girl I wrote a song, a long long time ago Hummed along, these olds words from some poem Rolled up to you, holding out your thumb And then I knew, a new way just begun I didn't know a road or way to go Besides the one, I ride along alone Rolled up to you, holding out your thumb And then I knew, a new way just begun She said "Hello, my name is Disarray." I laughed and smiled, I said "I'll call you Grace, for saving me, I've been lost in this place." And she replied, "This road, we call it fate." So take my hand, we'll plan our great escape And drive away, a land so far away No more lonesome drives upon that road I've grown to hate, It made my soul feel low Takes two to make a joyride anyway We call it fate, I guess it came my way!
