Right Away, Great Captain! – Sacred Heart (A Sailor's Drunken Eulogy) Lyrics 16 years ago
i love this song. i feel like it means what it says it is "a sailor's drunken eulogy", or his drunken tribute of undying love to his cheating wife. he still loves her, even after what she did, he keeps on falling back to her. he compares her to a ghost, never leaving his thoughts.

he calls his love for her dirty, it is, he shouldn't love her after what she did to him, but he cant help it he just does. her heart is sacred to him, it is holy, he still holds her on a pedestal even after what she has done. this song is him realizing he shouldnt love her and confessing his love for her at the same time.

i don't now what two things he speaks of complicating in the first verse, or what he means by her being the LAST reason he was waking up...maybe he didnt realize that he kept her in the back of his mind, that he kept on loving her, and living for her, to get her back..just a guess. i also don't know what he means by cutting a whole in his throat just for her...maybe by loving her he was giving up a piece of himself, he was giving up his ability to say what he want to say, perhaps he didnt say how he truly felt betrayed bc he loves her so...idk tho,
any other thoughts?
