What curious fate hath drawn me here, Where waves applaud the atmosphere? The sands, they dance to nature’s song, A theater where all souls belong. This ocean vast, her whispers deep, Awake the dreams I seldom keep. Pre-Chorus Oh, fickle sun, thou gilded flame, Thy rules I shun, yet love thy game. Chorus 1 A parasol, my crown of ease, Yet still, I flirt with salty breeze. The sea, she winks—a rebel queen, Unfazed by who or what I seem. Verse 2 The sunburned throng, they run, they cheer, Each laugh a hymn to hearts sincere. I stroll between their fleeting bliss, Untethered, lost, yet finding this: A seashell hums, a fractured tune, A relic wrought by tides and moon. Pre-Chorus Oh, shore of tales, thou untamed muse, What riddles writ in ocean's hues? Chorus 2 My boots tread soft where mortals play, Yet shadows stretch where waters sway. A jellyfish drifts, bold and free, Her sting a quiet irony. Bridge “Thou dost not fit,” a stranger said, “Thy gaze so far, thy step so led.” I laughed, “What joy, to not conform! To carve my path beyond the norm.” For here, where rules dissolve in foam, Even my soul doth feel at home. Chorus 3 A goth at sea? Oh, what a jest! Yet here I stand, an honored guest. The tide enchants, the breeze beguiles, A rogue amidst the sea’s own wiles. Outro Farewell, wild beach, thou canvas bare, I leave my prints, I take thy air. For though I walk where shadows twine, This sunlit dream is partly mine. Farewell, wild beach, thy canvas bare, Thy sunlit spell dissolves in air. The shadows call, my true domain, I go, yet dream of thee again. Farewell, wild beach, thy canvas bare, Thy charm doth linger in the air. The shadows wait, yet I confess, I may return to thy caress...
