獨立樂團Mating Ritual在2017年的作品 "Swim"

令人聯想到在昏黃色調下一望無際的大海...

主唱的聲音有一種滄桑感

正好配上歌詞敘述的，不斷向前的掙扎與途中的疲累乾渴

"The ocean looked like one giant grave

 You know I've always seen it that way

 But now I feel it's our time to see if I can swim"

"She said go, wherever you like

 You got time, you got time

 To pick the places that you'll fall

 To pick the people that you want"

"But she said no, the bottle's dry

 And that won't save you, that won't save you

 But you got time, yeah, you got time

 'Cause you got time, yeah, you got time, 

 Before we burn..."

據說歌詞原義是與酒精上癮有關

但作為一個海洋人，有另一番意象與體會...

點評至此

以下為完整歌詞

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember when we were young

When the smoke would cover the sun

And we would both lose our jobs

At least for a week

The ocean looked like one giant grave

You know I've always seen it that way

Bot now I feel it's our time to see if I can swim

*

She said go, wherever you like

You got time, you got time

To pick the places that you'll fall

To pick the people that you want

**

But she said no, the bottle's dry

And that won't save you, that won't save you

But you got time, yeah, you got time

'Cause you got time, yeah, you got time

Before we burn...

I remember talking the same

Getting over every day

Watching everyone else drink

'Cause I can't stand the taste

The sky was getting darker each day

The hours backed for miles each way

And I felt that it was her time to learn to swim
