In this poignant ballad, Johnnyswim explores themes of legacy, love, and memory. The lyrics express a desire for eternal connection beyond physical existence. The imagery of scattering ashes on Georgica Pond symbolizes a wish to remain part of the natural world and close to loved ones even after death. The repeated metaphor of being a "lighthouse" signifies guidance, safety, and enduring presence. This is juxtaposed with the transient nature of time, described as an unreliable friend. However, love is depicted as a powerful force that transcends temporal limitations. The song also touches on the longing for deceased loved ones to be present in the lives of future generations, adding emotional depth 🌊. Ultimately, it conveys a message that while life is fleeting, love and memory provide lasting bonds that endure.
