Select language to translate this lyric
High up on a cliff I sit and watch the waves
Listen to the sound of the sea
It makes me happy and calms me down
All this feels at home for me
Iâve been sitting here all my life
And I never want to leave this place
Though just sitting around here seems senseless
I feel connected to the ocean with all its waves
Thinking about a greater sense in life
The sea keeps drawing my attention
Maybe Iâve already found it
Right in front of my eyes
Why should all this not be good for me?
All of a sudden a grinding sound breaks the silence
The rock Iâm sitting on begins to shake
And though the cliff is about to collapse I donât move
A captain always goes down with his ship
And in these few seconds between living and dying
I review my previous life
Could I have lived like all the other people I know
Or is the ocean what Iâm living for?
Thinking about a greater sense in life
The sea keeps drawing my attention
Maybe Iâve already found it
Right in front of my eyes
Why should all this not be good for me?
Suddenly the rock breaks off
Falls into the sea
I close my eyes and plunge into
The sea I love so much
Swallowing the cold salt water
Iâm about to faint
As the water fills my lungs I can feel deathâs embrace
But I realize I donât regret giving my life to my beloved sea
