| Maritime – German Engineering Lyrics | 19 years ago |

The first verse is very distant. Kind of reminds me of that Pink Floyd lyric, "Strangers passing in the street / By chance two separate glances meet / and I see you and what I see is me." The second verse is much more personal; it is a conversation between the narrator of this song and someone named Jeremy. They are discussing being over-dramatic about their lives and mocking themselves about it; "Isn't it so unlike us" to be such drama queens, one says to the other. I wonder if Jeremy isn't Jeremy Enigk, a contemporary of the Promise Ring (Davey of Maritime's former band). If it all comes together somehow, I am venturing that the song is more or less about the way we might fade in and out of intimacy with people over the course of our long relationships to them. |
