This Is The Sea

These things you keep
You'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!

Now if you're feelin' weary
If you've been alone too long
Maybe you've been suffering from
A few too many
Plans that have gone wrong
And you're trying to remember
How fine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like it's 1973
Well that was the river
This is the sea!
Wooo!

Now you say you've got trouble
You say you've got pain
You say've got nothing left to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
Nothing but chains
You've been scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
But that was the river
This is the sea yeah!

Now I can see you wavering
As you try to decide
You've got a war in your head
And it's tearing you up inside
You're trying to make sense
Of something that you just can't see
Trying to make sense now
And you know you once held the key
But that was the river
And this is the sea!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Now I hear there's a train
It's coming on down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You've got still enough time
And you don't need no ticket
And you don't pay no fee
No you don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
Because that was the river
And this is the sea!

That was the river
This is the sea!
That was the river
This is the sea!
That was the river, river, river, river, river, river, river
And this is the sea!

Sea

Hmm, sea, yeah!

Behold the sea!

Esto es el mar

Estas cosas que guardas
Será mejor que los tires
Quieres dar la espalda
En tus días sin alma
Una vez que estuviste atado
Y ahora eres libre
Una vez que estuviste atado
Bueno ahora eres libre
Ese era el rio
Este es el mar!

Ahora si te sientes cansado
Si has estado solo demasiado tiempo
Tal vez has estado sufriendo de
Unos pocos demasiados
Planes que han salido mal
Y estas tratando de recordar
Qué buena era tu vida
Corriendo golpeando tu tambor
Como si fuera 1973
Bueno ese era el rio
Este es el mar!
Wooo!

Ahora dices que tienes problemas
Dices que tienes dolor
Dices que no me queda nada en lo que creer
Nada a lo que aferrarse
Nada en lo que confiar
Nada más que cadenas
Has estado recorriendo tu conciencia
Rastrillando tus recuerdos
Recorriendo tu conciencia
Rastrillando tus recuerdos
Pero ese era el río
Este es el mar, sí!

Ahora puedo verte vacilar
Mientras tratas de decidir
Tienes una guerra en tu cabeza
Y te está destrozando por dentro
Estas tratando de tener sentido
De algo que simplemente no puedes ver
Tratando de tener sentido ahora
Y sabes que una vez sostuviste la llave
Pero ese era el río
Y este es el mar!
Sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí!

Ahora escucho que hay un tren
Está viniendo por la línea
Es tuyo si te apuras
Aún tienes suficiente tiempo
Y no necesitas boleto
Y no pagas ninguna tarifa
No, no necesitas boleto
No pagas ninguna tarifa
Porque ese era el río
Y este es el mar!

Ese era el rio
Este es el mar!
Ese era el rio
Este es el mar!
Ese era el río, río, río, río, río, río, río
Y este es el mar!

Mar

Hmm, mar, si!

¡Mira el mar!
