How I Became The Sea is the first bonus track on Owl City’s third studio album, All Things Bright and Beautiful. It tells of a deep, fantastical experience that the singer has had, wherein he has become one with the sea. The lyrics take the listener through an experience of the sea’s hurricanes, shi...
[Verse 1]
June was the lobster shell
I dug by hand
A haven that hid me well
Beneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed in
But I stayed dry
The great breakers broke again
As I nodded off inside
[Chorus]
And then
When the Empress ran aground
And my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea
[Verse 2]
I wrenched the engines off
And drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft
As they swiftly drowned
And I brought the ocean side
To its rusty knees
As I felt the even tide
Deep in my shallow dreams
[Chorus]
And then
When the Empress ran aground
And my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
When the sky fell in
(When the sky fell in)
(When the sky fell in)
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea)
That's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea)
That's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea)[x2]
[Outro]
(When the sky fell in)
(When the hurricanes came for me)
(I could finally crash again)
(And that's how I became the sea)
(How I became the sea)
