| The Lawrence Arms – Boatless Booze Cruise (Part 1) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
the first verse I think its about being down in life, it could be after a relationship, or after losing someone close very recent (relative, friend, lover) the narrator is on a booze soaked night reminiscing on how life is now changed but it has not yet sunk in since the even just happened (changing so fast that it stays the same) life is starting to spin out of control (sit back and watch the ship sink) the narrator keeps trying to drink away the feeling (the hull and the bow and the smokestacks disappear as we watch it go down) he's comparing his life the sinking of a boat. the second verse is when he's at his worse, he's almost at the point where he no longer wants to go on with life he's a {tad overdue) to be put out of his misery, his only wish is to see the light at the end of the tunnel (dreamed that I slept and actually dreamed) the narrator realizes that he has people who he counts on, friends that will be his rock. he shows up looking for help hoping that this person/people have not forgot or given up on him and he passes out on their floor to sleep off the drunken night and realize that life will go on. the main theme of this song, to me, is about the power of close friendship and the bonds that exist with you best friends will help you through anything |

| i think that's a good analogy. i think hes talking about when he was young and in the punk rock scene everything was revolt and rebel. now that he has got older and seen that life is a little more complicated hes seeing things as a wiser more mature person but there is still that rebel inside him that wants to see change. 1905 not 1917, is a reference to the Russian revolutions. he wants us to be older but still have the passion and fight that we did as younger people | |
