@[greysquirrel:29751] Exactly. I don't think it's a direct comment on Christianity or creationism vs. evolution, or capitalism, but rather the basic premise that mankind has theoretically evolved and is supposed to be at a "higher level", and yet we are still fixated with violence, war and the wanton destruction of the planet. The "Lords of War" are the rich and powerful who are in control. And for the rest of us in the First World, there simply are no alternatives to "trading our hard-earned time for pay". |

| Jellyfish – I Wanna Stay Home Lyrics

I think this is someone isolating himself after a relationship has ended. "if you need someone and there's no one there"...and then suggests not calling on him, but going out somewhere. There is no connection between the narrator and that person referred to in the first verse.
Weight on his shoulders, fading memories as he gets older. He's pining for a lost love and regretting the end of a relationship. That's how I read it, anyway. |

@[mobius:22376] 1 Jellyfish was an awesome band that didn't stick around too long. I love this song, and I think you're right. The narrator didn't die at sea, he just was away at sea due to his career and so missed seeing his children grow up. It's such a simple, powerful song. |
