the whale - aaralyn lyrics

the sea is my home
the waves are the bones
and the tides are coming to take me
pull me under, so that i can once again
be a part of leviathan

set sail for who knows where
the wind is still my brother
the sun is my father
the stars: my sisters
the ocean: my steadfast mother
i will travel as far as i can
’til the earth is entwined with the heavens
i’ll live with no fear
my mind will be clеar
even though i’m all sixes and sevеns

i’m chasing an ominous beast
whose body is whiter than snow
set a course, headed north by north*east
if the breeze rests, my crew will all row
this isn’t obsession, it’s honesty
the beast is everywhere and nowhere
the storm looks at me ominously

but it’s out there. i can feel it
i must go there
but it’s out there. i can feel it
i must go there
i have a terrible secret
i’m in fact not hunting whales
in davey jone’s locker
abstractions and artistic concepts
have tainted this subject proper
whales are not a swimming beast, to me
instead, they are two things:
on the one hand, they are a blank canvas;
on the other, methods of thinking
they are potentials, infinite and real
unreachable, honest expression
artistic in nature, impossible to represent
for all art is simply refraction

great men, to those we have trusted
to tell what expressions are better
arbitrary and immoral practice
expression cannot be measured
we hunt the whiteness, not the beast
and i know, i must die
my attempt to represent honestly
will always result in an artistic lie
