This poignant piece by twenty one pilots metaphorically encapsulates the human struggle with conformity and the allure of individuality. The 'march to the sea' symbolizes a monotonous, unfulfilling life, where individuals 'fall in line,' oblivious to their potential for independent thought or action. The recurring voice that urges the protagonist to 'follow me instead' represents an inner call to break free from societal norms and expectations. The lyrics highlight a yearning for liberation from this metaphorical march, expressing dissatisfaction with a life devoid of personal agency. However, the song ends on a somber note, suggesting that breaking away from convention is often met with resistance and could lead back to the familiar path of conformity. #Conformity #Individuality #SocietalPressure
March to the Sea
Lyrics
There's miles of land in front of us
And we're dying with every step we take
We're dying with every breath we make
And all fall in line
A stranger's back is all I see
He's only a few feet in front of me
And all look left and right sometimes
But all fall in line
No one looks up anymore
'Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye
And heaven forbid, they see you cry
As we fall in line
And about this time of every year
The Line will go to the ocean pier
And walk right off into the sea
Then we fall asleep
As we near the end of land
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand
I ask myself the question, why
I fall in line
Then out of the corner of my eye
I see a spaceship in the sky
And hear a voice inside my head
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me
Then the wages of war will start
Inside my head with my counterpart
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase
This line's the only way
Then I start down the sand
My eyes are focused on the end of land
But again the voice inside my head
Says, follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Take me up
Seal the door
I don't want to march here anymore
I realize that this line is dead
So I'll follow you instead
So then you put me back in my place
So I might start another day
And once again, I will be
In a march to the sea
