Hello Seahorse!

The song 'Hello Seahorse!' by the band of the same name delves into the complexities of communication and the unspoken connections between individuals. The repeated lines 'I won’t say anything, if you don’t say anything' suggest a mutual understanding or a pact of silence, where both parties agree to keep certain thoughts or feelings unexpressed. This silence is contrasted with the possibility of talking, as indicated by the repeated 'talk talk talk talk talk,' hinting at the tension between what is said and what remains unsaid.

The imagery in the lyrics, such as 'we’ll have some tea, and stare at the bee,' evokes a sense of quiet intimacy and shared moments. The bee, which appears while the other person is asleep, symbolizes something small yet significant that has entered their lives unnoticed. The line 'I can’t believe I swallowed the city' is a powerful metaphor for feeling overwhelmed by the complexities and demands of urban life, suggesting a desire to escape or find solace in simpler, quieter moments.

The song also touches on themes of change and distance, as seen in the lines 'Now I’m moving away, oh you can come & visit me whenever you need.' This indicates a physical separation but also an open invitation to maintain the connection, symbolized by 'the biggest key.' The repeated reassurance 'don’t you make a fuss about it' suggests a desire to keep things uncomplicated and free from drama, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a calm and understanding relationship despite the changes.
