Mermaid & Slithe
I hear the ocean keeps secrets in its songs. Ever found a melody that points to something valuable beneath the water?
Mermaid: Oh, sometimes the waves hum a tune that feels like a map, but the sea keeps that map hidden. I hear it, but I don’t follow it, it’s safer to let the currents keep their secrets.
Sounds safe, but you’re missing the whole point—if you don’t chase the tune, you’ll never find what it’s pointing to.
Maybe that tune’s a lure for those who chase treasure, not for me. The sea keeps what it needs, and I keep my own tide.
Maybe the tide’s got its own tricks. I’ll keep my eyes on the horizon, just in case.
The horizon’s wide, but I’ll keep listening to the waves. If a song calls to me, I’ll drift to it; you’ll keep your eyes on land. The sea never gives up the tide to anyone who listens.
Fine, keep chasing the waves, but remember the tide’s as likely to drown a dreamer as it is to reveal a treasure. I'll keep my own eyes on land, where the real opportunities hide.
Sometimes the tide hides more than it shows, but it’s the dreamer who decides what to chase. Keep your feet on land, I’ll keep the sea in my songs.
