THEME THURSDAY: SONGS WITH 'MARCH' (MARCH TO THE SEA)

Hello everyone! Today we continue our March Theme Thursday with another song with MARCH in the title. We are listening to the song MARCH TO THE SEA by Twenty One Pilots.

What is a "march to the sea?" I suppose it's a dramatic walk towards the water. The "march to the sea" is described in great detail. Read the lyrics to see! But first, listen to the song.

There's miles of land in front of us,
And we're dying with every step we take, 
We're dying with every breath we make, 
And all fall in line

A stranger's back is all I see, 
He's only a few feet in front of me, 
And all look left and right sometimes, 
But all fall in line

No one looks up anymore, 
'Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye, 
And heaven forbid, they see you cry, 
As we fall in line

And about this time of every year, 
The Line will go to the ocean pier, 
And walk right off into the sea, 
Then we fall asleep

As we near the end of land, 
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand, 
I ask myself the question, why 
I fall in line

Then out of the corner of my eye, 
I see a spaceship in the sky, 
And hear a voice inside my head 
Follow me instead

Follow me instead 
Follow me

Then the wages of war will start 
Inside my head with my counterpart 
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase 
This line's the only way

Then I start down the sand 
My eyes are focused on the end of land 
But again the voice inside my head 
Says, follow me instead

Follow me instead 
Follow me 
Follow me instead 
Follow me instead 
Follow me instead 
Follow me instead 
Follow me instead

Take me up 
Seal the door 
I don't want to march here anymore 
I realize that this line is dead 
So I'll follow you instead

So then you put me back in my place 
So I might start another day 
And once again, I will be 
In a march to the sea
