Several meanings in the sound of the waves.

"The sound of the bells is still tolling my sleeplessness" is a simile of a personification. It is similar to "the sound of bells in the middle of the night", in which the sound of the bells expressed the poet's loneliness and sadness in the original poem, and the same emotion in the lyrics.

"Dusty days will never be a cloud of smoke"

"How can we repeat yesterday's story today?

"Can this old ticket board your passenger ship" is a metaphor within a metaphor, i.e., there is no ontology or metaphor in the lyrics, which still revolves around the original "passenger ship" in the poem. The "passenger ship" in the poem is used to refer to the feelings that the main character in the lyrics has paid for, and "your passenger ship" refers to whether these feelings can still be responded to from time to time in your emotional world.

Personification - the sound of such a bell ringing in the ears of the sleepless seems to be intentional

Metaphor - the past is fading away, as if it were nothing

Contrast - the time has passed, is the human being still able to respond to it in your emotional world? -whether human feelings remain the same after the passage of time

Borrowing -whether feelings will exist beyond the wear and tear of time
