Simplified Meaning:

This quote suggests that we have spent time in a beautiful or mysterious place but have become so comfortable there that we might not notice or care about the dangers it holds. Imagine lounging by the beach all day, enjoying the sun and the sound of the waves. It's relaxing and pleasant, and you lose track of time. However, if you stay too long without paying attention, the tide might come in, and you could be at risk of being caught by the water. Similarly, in life, we sometimes get caught up in pleasant situations and ignore warning signs or upcoming problems. It's important to enjoy the good moments but also to stay aware and prepared for any potential issues.
