Default A Breeze On the Sea
We will run to the sea
and we'll swim you and me

shore is clean sky i blue
perfect weather for me and you

so my love where's the boat
shall we sail for 10 days

there's a breeze on the sea
and i'm feeling free

there's a breeze on the sea
and i'm feeling free

We will run to the sea
and we'll swim you and me

Default Origami Tea Leaves
in the corner there was an old broom
whose bristles were bein sucked up by the vacuum
you'll be sent into tonight's storm
please don't cry cause you cannot fight

there's no time for these things
cause god says i don't care for these things

origami tea leaves in a little old box
from a gray haired lady who's probably dead now
you'll be used till you're gone and forgotten
you cannot help this your end is eminent

there's no time for these things
cause god says i don't care for these things

there's no time for these things
cause god says i don't care for these things

Spoiler for ?:
i love music

I like the guitar and instrumentals very much, Stone Birds! A couple times I felt your voice was a little out of tune and the overdubbing made it hard to understand your voice.

I feel your lyrics would be improved by not repeating "back" in the final line, and instead finding another way to say that this person the singer fell for will never catch him. The relationship sounds very short, though this doesn't mean it wasn't important, but this made me feel that the seriousness of the song was out of proportion with what I'd expect after the break-up of a 2-month relationship.

I like NumberNine's mouth drawings!!...especially when the mouth becomes a black spot, echoing the idea of a "spot in time" that is in your lyrics!

Wow. That's a great coincidence.
I just drew whatever the music inspired to me, because the lyrics aren't too understandable.

I suspected the black spot in your video drawings wasn't intentionally there to correspond to the word "spot" in the lyrics, since they didn't occur at the same time...but wouldn't it be cool if they did? I think so, at least!

Since the song mentions someone's face, I thought your drawings of a face...very close up...made perfect sense...and the way the face got smaller and bigger could represent how one's feelings of closeness and connection to the person change as the quality of the relationship changes.

Of course, I've been known to "over-analyze," some people say. But it's such fun!!!!!

I love hidden unintentional meanings. They're always the best.
Analyse away!!

I love them, too! Though I probably love hidden *intentional* meanings more.

I have analyzed my ardor for analyzing, and my analysis is also that analyzing away is A-okay. I appreciate your approval!
