This song tries to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by life’s currents and drowning in the „high tide“ of past regrets
lyrics
Another year washed
Onto the shore
Watched the old life
Finally crash down
Another doubt rushed
Over my head
Drowning in a memory’s
High tide
Whatever I did
It wasn’t my choice
Can’t find a foothold on
This shifting ground
Just a body floating
With the stream
Whatever I did
It was your choice
[Chorus]
Waves of doubt
Pulling me under
Can’t fight the current
Watching my past dissolve
My life is just
A metronome
The same mistakes,
The same retreat
Living by the rhythm
Of the tides
Found the old regret
That I left in the sand
Whatever I did
It was their choice
Whatever I did
It was their choice
[Chorus]
At last the water hit,
That final wave
Came crashing down
To kill the lie
Whatever I did
It was my choice
[Alternate Chorus]
No more waves of doubt,
Pulling me under
Watching my new life
Unfold before me
