High tide, summer in the city,
The kids are looking pretty,
But isn't it a pity,
That the sunshine is followed by thunder,
And thoughts of going under,
And is it any wonder,
When is calling out to me.

I seem to spend my whole life running,
From people who would be,
The death of you and me,
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds,
Sucking up my soul.

High tide, life is getting faster,
No one has the answer,
I try to face the day now in a new way,
'Cause every man's a puzzle.

Let's run away together you and me,
Forever we'd be free,
Free to spend our whole lives running,
From people who would be,
The death of you and me,
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds,
Sucking up my soul.

Let's run away to sea,
Forever we'd be free,
Free to spend our whole lives running,
From people who would be,
The death of you and me,
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds coming.

I'm watching my TV,
Or is it watching me?
I see another new day dawning,
It's rising over me, with my mortality,
And I can feel the storm clouds,
Sucking up my soul.

    General Comment:The first verse in the last part is wrong, should be:

    High tide, summer in the city,
    The kids are looking pretty,
    But isn't it a pity,
    That the sunshine is followed by thunder,
    And thoughts of going under,
    And is it any wonder,
    Why the sea is calling out to me.

    General Comment:I'm constantly stalking for similarities between Noel's stuff and Liam's stuff. There are a lot of lyrics from both referring to the sea. I wonder if it's a common thing or if one got influenced by the other. The sea is very poetic in many ways I guess
    Like here Noel wants to "run away to sea" where "forever we'd be free" whereas Liam wants to go "out to sea" cause "it's the only place I honestly can get myself some peace of mind" and, of course, "all I wanna do is live by the sea" cos "it's good to be free." :) Then again, "if you're lost at sea well I hope that you drown." And they did play live by the sea, yes...?

    My Interpretation:I think this song is about being consumed by your hatred or fear of someone/thing. Working so hard to protect your family or relationship that you don't enjoy the time you get with them, always feelling jittery, and that storm clouds are always waiting for him once the good times are over. Also growing insecure, as though the TV is watching them.

    General Comment:The second verse is wrong.

    High tide, life is getting faster,
    No one has the answer,
    I try to face the day down in a new way,
    The bottom of the bottle,
    Is every man's apostle

    General Comment:Yeah love this, the video's good, he seems a lot more peaceful. It was shot in America if I'm right, I like the idea that he's somewhere else, a break from the norm, something new, different.

    I'm watching my TV or is it watching me?

    I too can feel the storm clouds, so am loving this song.

    General Comment:I think the song kinda speaks for itself. I don't feel like getting cryptic. Instead, I feel like just listening to the best single, my opinion, of 2011. Noel does such a great job here. Lyrically and musically great. I can't wait for the album to be released.
