Tidal Lyrics

You knew me in my spiral
Happiness tidal
It comes and it goes
And I sank into the water
How I drifted farther
Away from the coast

Sometimes I get this feeling
I was breathing someone else's air
Two thousand miles away from home
Under that sky, I tried to make my peace with fear

So I guess I'll build a boat and live alone
Lord, I'll be the lost one (oh, oh)
Oh, I'll teach myself to swim and live in my head
And make sense of all my thoughts
And if I never reach the land or live again
Lord, I'll be just fine (oh, oh)
Yeah, I'll drift until I'm dead, and until then
I'll be the lost one, I'll be the lost one

I fell into a pattern
Where nothing would matter if I didn't care
To be so close to a coastline
To know that in my life, I'll never be there

'Cause sometimes I get this feeling
I've been breathing someone else's air

So I guess I'll build a boat and live alone
Lord, I'll be the lost one (oh, oh)
Oh, I'll teach myself to swim and live in my head
And make sense of all my thoughts
And if I never reach the land or live again
Lord, I'll be just fine (oh, oh)
Yeah, I'll drift until I'm dead, and until then
I'll be the lost one, I'll be the lost one

And it wears me out
All the demons underneath the tide
But I sink like stone
But all the weight of all these dreams of mine
And I wish you well
You can't save someone too far to find
But it's wearing me out
And it's stormy in the sea tonight, in the sea tonight

So I guess I'll build a boat and live alone
Lord, I'll be the lost one (oh, oh)
Oh, I'll teach myself to swim and live in my head
And make sense of all my thoughts
And if I never reach the land or live again
Lord, I'll be just fine (oh, oh)
Yeah, I'll drift until I'm dead, and until then
I'll be the lost one, I'll be the lost one

What is the Meaning of Tidal?

In Noah Kahan's introspective track, he delves into themes of isolation and the cyclical nature of emotional struggles. The metaphor of building a boat to live alone symbolizes his decision to navigate life's turbulent waters independently, confronting his fears and thoughts head-on. The recurring motif of being 'the lost one' underscores a sense of acceptance in his journey towards self-discovery, even if it means never reaching a final destination or resolution. Kahan portrays the internal battle with personal demons and the overwhelming feeling of drifting aimlessly, yet finds solace in solitude and self-reliance, suggesting that peace might not lie in finding land but in learning to swim through life's challenges.
