Q&A
Tell Shipwreck I'm Sorry Lyrics
They're draining all the pools
They're flooding down the streets
The drains are clogged with autumn leaves
I swore that I would stop
When summertime was through
But liquor's not the enemy
So pull down the porch shades
Don't want to let the neighbors see
They've got their own secrets to keep
They're complaning like fools
They're brooding in defeat
The veins are clogged
And they ought to bleed
Breaker, breaker, come in, come in
Standing water everywhere
We need direction, a location
A north star to navigate us
Breaker, breaker, come in, come in
Transmission's breaking up
It's breaking up
Their flooding fills the basement
I'm hiding in the bathroom
Someone's pounding on the door
I plead into the mirror
He wants nothing more to do with me
He's tired of the apologies
I know it isn't raining
I can't recall the cause of this
We sustain the damages
The neighbors have the sandbags
Surrounded in sobriety
But as for me, I'm stumbling
So who's going to save you, shipwreck?
Who's going to save you, shipwreck?
Who's going to save you?
Who's going to save you?
Shipwreck
So who's going to save you?
Breaker, breaker, come in, come in
Transmission's breaking up
Breaking up
Breaker, breaker, come in, come in
Transmission's breaking up
Breaking up
They're flooding down the streets
The drains are clogged with autumn leaves
I swore that I would stop
When summertime was through
But liquor's not the enemy
So pull down the porch shades
Don't want to let the neighbors see
They've got their own secrets to keep
They're complaning like fools
They're brooding in defeat
The veins are clogged
And they ought to bleed
Standing water everywhere
We need direction, a location
A north star to navigate us
Breaker, breaker, come in, come in
Transmission's breaking up
It's breaking up
I'm hiding in the bathroom
Someone's pounding on the door
I plead into the mirror
He wants nothing more to do with me
He's tired of the apologies
I know it isn't raining
I can't recall the cause of this
We sustain the damages
The neighbors have the sandbags
Surrounded in sobriety
But as for me, I'm stumbling
Who's going to save you, shipwreck?
Who's going to save you?
Who's going to save you?
Shipwreck
So who's going to save you?
Transmission's breaking up
Breaking up
Breaker, breaker, come in, come in
Transmission's breaking up
Breaking up

This song reminds me a lot of "The Lament Of Pretty Baby"..
the way he describes the weather it sounds like right now.. the end of summer. im going to go cry because i like the way you ditty bop.
to me it sounds like he's saying 'but liquors not the enemy' instead of 'But look who's not the enemy.'
yeah im pretty sure the lyrics are a bit off up there. i am absolutely convinced this song (as are many in the Kasher catalogue) is about alcohol and self deprecation and obviously the relationship.
lyric corrections i think: "i plead into the mirror." and of course the, "Liquor's not the enemy"
the "breaker breaker" chorus:
breaker breaker come in come in standing water everywhere we need direction a location a north star to navigate us breaker breaker come in come in transmission's breaking up it's breaking up
what album is this off of, anyone know?
I believe it's off a split/compilation, well I know it's one of those, it's not off an actual album. anyway.
this is absolutely my favourite song by Kasher, lyrically at least. It's just beautiful. If these lyrics could be a painting I'd have it on my wall.
what a beautiful song. the chorus adds a lonely and far-away touch to the scene.
these lyrics reminds me of what a drunk i am. i'm scared but alcohol inspires me. sadly.
I love this song. Whenever I listen to it it feels like I've been stabbed in my heart (in a good way).
