I honestly feel like it depends on how you interpret it. For example the chorus is pretty self explanatory. It explains that he's been fishing for over 27 years, I'm guessing owns a company and/or sells fish to stores. Fishing/boating brings peace to the character. Either his grandpa was a farmer, but he didn't like it, or his grandpa tried to get him into farming w/ him but he "couldn't stand the soil". For the heaven and hell part, I feel like it shifts towards homeless and very rich people. One having nothing, living on the streets, basically a hell, and one having everything they could ask for, a heaven most people ask for. The bread rise part is self explanatory as well. Plowing the ocean swell basically means fishing. This is the part me, myself am iffy about. The "errol's got a sweet Monterey, rigged for salmon and crab." But if I had to guess, it would mean he has caught better quality fish, and the character doesn't, meaning he's not making anymore money. Maybe I am reading too much into this. But even I don't know that part. For the golden lab part, basically meaning he never had a proper family, except for his grandpa and/or yellow lab. For the looking back to 95 part, maybe he's thinking/looking back to/of memories. "Dragging lines for albacore till the market went sour" meaning that they caught fish for the market, they they didn't want it/paid the character less money than before for the fish. They haven't been able to give fish to the store for 40 days/didn't want to, but when the character did, they got "less than a pound" So In conclusion, it basically just talks about marketing., or probably not, maybe I'm reading too much into the lyrics. |
