Jungles And Tides

In 'Jungles And Tides,' Charly Coombes & The New Breed craft a vivid narrative of emotional turbulence and unwavering devotion. The song opens with a sense of restlessness, as the protagonist is kept awake by something that is both breaking and bringing them down. This duality sets the stage for a journey through dreams and challenges, likened to a 'break in the satellite,' suggesting a disruption in their usual path or connection.

The lyrics then transition to a more hopeful tone, describing a 'fading temperature' that falls to a level of 'sustainable breathing-air.' This metaphor could symbolize finding a balance or a moment of clarity amidst chaos. The protagonist's journey continues through 'hundreds of miles of arrogant smiles,' indicating that despite facing superficial or insincere interactions, their determination remains unshaken. The repeated declaration that 'she's my everything' and 'she's not ordinary' underscores the depth of their affection and the uniqueness of their beloved.

As the song progresses, the imagery of 'hours and hours' spent talking through the night highlights the importance of communication and connection in their relationship. The act of 'breathing the air' together signifies a shared experience and a newfound sense of life. The final lines, 'over hundreds of miles of jungles and tides, I'll be outside your door,' encapsulate the essence of the song: a relentless pursuit of love, no matter the obstacles. The jungles and tides serve as metaphors for the unpredictable and often challenging nature of life, yet the protagonist's commitment to reaching their beloved remains steadfast.
