Sailor Lyrics
the sea pounds so hard against this old ship
where he had only one wish
home is so far from his memory
the ships old wet deck is all his family
two days worth of storm had broken the ships tired mast and captain
the sea pounds so hard against this old ship
where he'd had only one wish
God is gone now is all that he knew
they saw that last wave come and he knew that he was through
where he had only one wish
home is so far from his memory
the ships old wet deck is all his family
two days worth of storm had broken the ships tired mast and captain
where he'd had only one wish
God is gone now is all that he knew
they saw that last wave come and he knew that he was through

The absolutely amazing thing about this song is that the guitars are simulating the sounds waves make as they go up and down and finally crash against something. It's like the setting is being painted by the words and the music. The tension of this song picks up to give the listener the impression of the storm is getting worse and the ship is slowly losing the fight. Absolutely brilliant song.
very well put, phenomenal song. one of my favorite bands ever.
very well put, phenomenal song. one of my favorite bands ever.
In my opinion...
This song is a metaphor about someone who died, literally or figuratively, of sadness and depression.
Great song, full of emotions.
