The sea is the sea

This is an intro from one of the Yuna’s songs. A deep parable.

Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something

But it’s like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time

And you feel like you belong there

You are one with the waves

The warmth of the water

And your body moves in sync with the ocean

And you swim around just trying to stay afloat

Then you get tired and you start to drown

And you swim back to land

When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long

And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again

And then your feet finds gravity

You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time

And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was

And how good it made you feel It was never yours to keep

And somedays you’ll miss it, you know

And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in

Then you realize your feet was meant for land

And not cut out for the ocean

Maybe you’re meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast

Letting go is not easy

There’s nothing quite like swimming in the ocean

Just like how it’s natural for your feet to find gravity

It’s natural for you to let go

And find your true purpose in life again

The sea is the sea

And you are just you

I have to let go

But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again
