Yesterday, I shut the world outside,

Closed all the windows, let the silence ride.

Turned on the AC, killed the glaring light,

Dove into the darkness, and held on tight.

I was down, but now I’m back, baby,

Slept off the storm, feeling kinda wavy.

Happy Friday, cheers to feeling alive,

I was out for the count, but watch me thrive.

Twelve hours straight, I was lost in dreams,

Fighting off the shadows, stitching at the seams.

Woke up refreshed, with a brand new view,

I’m back on my feet, with a spirit renewed.

Down, not out, I found my fight,

In the quiet battles of the longest night.

Ready to rumble, ready to stand,

Taking back my days, 'cause now I can.

I was down, but now I’m back, baby,

Slept off the storm, feeling kinda wavy.

Happy Friday, cheers to feeling alive,

I was out for the count, but watch me thrive.

So here’s to rising, to the break of day,

Back (mostly) baby, in every way.

With every setback, now I understand,

I’ll come back stronger, that’s the plan.

Sometimes it doesn’t end the way we thought. This song is about the bittersweet journey of reminiscing a past love that once felt eternal but has since faded away. Reflections on shared moments and places, like mountain trails and starlit nights, that were once filled with love and joy. However, now these memories are overshadowed by the reality of being alone, as the physical remnants of their relationship (names etched in trees, paths once walked together) have been eroded by time and nature. The imagery of nature reclaiming these symbols of their love parallels the way their relationship has disintegrated, leaving June to navigate these memories alone. The song captures the melancholy of remembering a love that once soared but ultimately didn't last, and the enduring impact of those memories despite the passage of time.

Walking on the mountain trails

Where our footsteps once merged

Found the peak where we first saw the view

Now obscured by the fog and the surge

Our names etched in the rugged bark

But the wind swept them all away

Like the love we swore was eternal

Just a whisper of yesterday

I remember those starlit nights

Constellations and your bright eyes

Now the cold winds howl through the void

Where you stood under moonlit skies

Each stone tells a story

Of laughter and of tears

But I'm hiking alone now

Through the best of our years

Broken peaks

Faded paths

Where our souls once soared together

Now I'm here

You're gone

With the echoes growing ever

The air's thin

The climb is tough

And our love didn't last long

Walking down the memory lane

Where our shadows used to dance

Found the bridge where we first met

Now it's covered in rust and plants

Our roots carved in the old oak tree

The river's washed them all away

Like the love we swore would last

Just a whisper of yesterday

I remember those summer nights

Fireflies and your bright smile

Now the cold winds blow through the void where you stood for a while

Each plant tells a story of laughter and of tears

But I'm walking alone now

Through the best of our years

"Sea the Thief" tells the story of a mystical woman deeply connected to the ocean. The lyrics paint her as a part of the sea itself, embodying its enigmatic and ever-changing nature. The song's title, "Sea the Thief," could imply that the sea has taken something from her or that she has surrendered herself to its depths.

In the verses, her trance-like state and the lack of a trace of her past suggest a surrender to or absorption by the sea, losing her individual story in the broader tapestry of the ocean's mysteries. The chorus reinforces this idea, posing questions about what she might discover in the ocean's depths and emphasizing her inseparable bond with it.

Overall, the song evokes themes of mystery, freedom, and the transformative power of nature, particularly the sea, which can both conceal and reveal profound truths. It's a poetic exploration of identity and the search for meaning within the vast, unknown depths of the natural world.

On the shimmering sea, a woman lies,

Lost in a trance, with ocean eyes.

Floating free, her spirit right,

A creature of the deep, a mystical sight.

In the dance of waves, she finds embrace,

No trace of her story, her dreams take place.

With every ripple, a tale unfolds,

Of secrets and mysteries, the ocean holds.

Creature of the deep, her secrets keep,

What will she find, in the depths beneath?

Forever entwined, with the ocean's bind,

Her fate, a mystery, forever in time.

As tides ebb and flow, and the moon aglow,

She drifts with the currents, where they go.

But what awaits, in the depths so grand?

Her dreams unwind, in this watery land.

On the shimmering sea, in a trance so deep,

Her secrets forever, the ocean will keep.

On the shimmering sea, a woman lies,

Lost in a trance, with ocean eyes.

Floating free, her spirit right,

A creature of the deep, a mystical sight.

In the dance of waves, she finds embrace,

No trace of her story, her dreams take place.

With every ripple, a tale unfolds,

Of secrets and mysteries, the ocean holds.

Creature of the deep, her secrets keep,

What will she find, in the depths beneath?

Forever entwined with the ocean's bind.

Her fate, a mystery, forever in time.

In a high-rise court in Manhattan town

A former president he's feeling down

Thirty-four charges all lined up in a row

Falsified records hush money in tow

It's the 34 felonies blues where the truth gets misconstrued

Hush money false records in the courtroom they're reviewed

The jury's deliberating on what's fact and what's contrived

In the hush money trial where justice is revived

Eleven checks they say disguised as legal dues

Payments to silence whispers just to hide the truth

Intent to defraud to conceal another crime

Elevates the charges now he's facing time

It's the 34 felonies blues where the truth gets misconstrued

Hush money false records in the courtroom they're reviewed

The jury's deliberating on what's fact and what's contrived

In the hush money trial where justice is revived

From campaign days of old to the courtroom's cold embrace

A scheme to keep things quiet now laid out in this place

Will it be conviction or will he walk free

The twelve must decide now what's his destiny

It's the 34 felonies blues where the truth gets misconstrued

Hush money false records in the courtroom they're reviewed

The jury's deliberating on what's fact and what's contrived

In the hush money trial where justice is revived

So we wait for the verdict as the gavel's set to fall

Will history be written with justice after all

It's the 34 felonies blues echoes through the hall

In the hush money trial we're all watching one and all

In a high-rise court in Manhattan town

A former president, now he's feeling down

Thirty-four counts, the verdict's come through

Guilty on all, it's the conviction blues

It's the conviction blues, the gavel's come down

Hush money, false records, now he's wearing a frown

The jury spoke, and the truth was found

In the court of law, justice came around

Eleven checks they say, disguised as legal dues

Payments to silence whispers, now he's got the news

Intent to defraud, to conceal another crime

Elevates the charges, now he's out of time

It's the conviction blues, the gavel's come down

Hush money, false records, now he's wearing a frown

The jury spoke, and the truth was found

In the court of law, justice came around

From campaign days of old, to the courtroom's cold embrace

A scheme to keep things quiet, now laid out in this place

Conviction on all counts, the jury made it clear

The former president's fate, now sealed in here

Prosecutors laid it bare, the facts for all to see

Violations of the law, hidden deceptively

Each count a separate tale, of a record falsified

Now they seek the truth, where justice must preside

It's the conviction blues, the gavel's come down

Hush money, false records, now he's wearing a frown

The jury spoke, and the truth was found

In the court of law, justice came around

So we see the verdict, as the gavel’s set to fall

History has been written, with justice after all

The conviction blues echoes through the hall

In the hush money trial, we saw justice, standing tall
