Transatlanticism

For the record(lol record.. see what i did there), I have no idea what that word means. Not even real sure if the band does.

Whether I'm talking about just the single, or the album as a whole, let me tell ya..... its A+.
However, for this post, I'm gonna translate what I interpret personally from the single, because it honestly is a little confusing. SO here we gooooooooooooo...


"The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
Making islands where no islands should go (oh no)

Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your
Door have been silenced forevermore
And the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row;
It seems farther than ever before (oh no)

I need you so much closer

So come on; come on"


 ...................

my translation would be:

i lost the love of my life, and let me tell you how it all went down.
this ocean was made from how much sorrow and rain has been put into the picture.
i'm drowning...
its gotten so distant, that its starting to seem like a world that (he/she) can actually live in....without me.

while everyone else seems to be happy,
this ocean was just keeping me away from the one i love
theres no way out of the water.
so distant, that i can't find the strength to find my way back to (him/her)

i need you so much closer, so come closer.



How freaking beautiful and artistic is that love? This song is pure artistry and I love every second of it. Enjoy y'all.
