“Back to the Sea” is a contemplative, introspective song about recognizing oneself through another and understanding the shared essence of all beings. Through imagery of city lights, drifting waves, and night skies, it reflects on how connections act as mirrors, revealing fragments of our own identity and the truths we carry. Lines like “Finding fragments of me in your reality” and “Your soul feels like a faded memory” emphasize self-discovery, while the recurring imagery of the sea suggests the larger truth: we are all one, and in time, we fade into each other, becoming part of the same eternal flow. The song carries a dreamy, reflective, and meditative tone, inviting listeners to contemplate connection, unity, and the quiet beauty of shared existence.
