Seeker: Use of Symbolism

Hello everyone! As a seeker I tried to think of something that I am passionate about and find symbolism in its form. One of my favorite songs and band is “Into the Ocean” by Blue October. To enlighten you a little about the song, the initial meaning might seem as if it’s about a boy drowning. The song progressively reveals that the boy was actually morning the loss of a loved one (pay attention to the last line of the song). In the lyrics, one will be able to identify how symbolism is utilized. Some people who hear the song might believe that the words said have literal meaning, however, if you have the term “symbolism” in mind, you would realize how much this tool is actually used. Please let me know if you guys are able to identify symbolism in this song 🙂.
