| Right Away, Great Captain! – Cause I'm So Scared of Dying Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
I don't know if you've heard the rest of cd, but I think you may be way off. So in the prior song I gather that he's in a very dark mood thinking on his family, he's angry that he is being replaced by his brother. He's lighting matches contemplating sending his family up in flames and accidentally sets the boat on fire. His captain runs in and saves him but dies in the process. This song is for the captain. I believe it's pretty self explanatory once you understand the story.
If you listen to I'm not ready to forgive you, it's about coming back and seeing his family but seeing his brother standing with his wife. |

The way Colin pauses on "Save your" I always view that as he is saying "Savior self". While the real lyrics are more imperative, the singer is almost pleading with himself to be saved. The latter seems that he is resigned to his fate, he knows it's within him to escape and he will always long for another life. The fact that the only real reason he is stuck in this town working off debt owed is his sense of duty to his father. |

| Jonathan Coulton – Creepy Doll Lyrics

I think this song should be taken at face value. Not all songs have some deep spiritual meaning... It's about a creepy doll...
that always follows you. |
