Discover the story of the song > Seven Seas – echo and the bunnymen

The protagonist is singing about feeling sorry and trying to distract himself from his tears by painting the world blue. He hears cavemen singing good news and feels glad when he imagines himself swimming among the seven seas, even though he longs for something fresher. He wonders about the sense in stealing without the grace to appreciate it and ends by expressing his happiness at the thought of kissing a tortoise shell while swimming in the seven seas.
