Goats On A Boat Lyrics
Whatever happened to the integrity found within a family?
I return your glare, and my bones are chilled with some sort of sickening recipe of fear and anger.
Day by day, time after time again, you distort chronology, you foster of terror.
Bury your diamonds, destroy your rubies.
We are searching for security in tradegy.
Look around and notice the black (tapestries) drowning (our walls of) simplicity.
We are the constant decay.
Each note will disintegrate.
Perched upon our towers, motionless and miserable.
Here's to a comfortable casket.
How deceiving is the cemetery of motivation.
I wish to write a conclusion

I agree with law187. This is the opening to a tragedy. I find this song to be a picture of society today. Many families have fallen apart. Divorce is an everyday occurence. The integrity and love we have lost sickens those who hold these things dear. Then some advice. "Bury your diamonds, Destroy your Rubies" What is materialism? "the philosophical theory that regards matter and its motions as constituting the universe, and all phenomena, including those of mind, as due to material agencies. " Precious goods have replaced the place that god held in our lives. We now worship the almighty diamond instead of the almighty lover, creator, and savior. Society is disintegrating, we are miserable. That is true. When i found jesus, my life changed. When i held my material possessions above all, i was unhappy, depressed, and could never have enough of anything.
"I wish to write a conclusion" I see this pertaining to the entire CD. If this cd was written to make these things apparent and make people think, this would be a wonderful conclusion. The opening of man kinds eyes.
idk the meaning sounds sick 3:20 is a really sick part of the song i rekon reallu heavy and shit and got sick ass keys in the back :P
favorite so far.
love it.
This album is so much better than dear love: a beautiful discord. His vocals have gotten a lot better.
Yea his lyrics got a lot better but even the recording sounds better. This song is amazing! Also has the craziest breakdown ive heard haha.. Its rad.
Vocals*** my bad
good lord it's so epic at 1:46 when the bass kicks in... makes me want to just punch the living daylights out of something.... and also at 3:19 with the organ.
great opener to a great cd, i guess the song titles like parodying the movie snakes on a plane, not sure what the songs actually about, in the beggining kind of sounds almost like referring to abusive parents?
i dunno if theres in connection, but in like ancient greek times "tragedy" was associated with "the song of the goat", the song seems to be about a tragedy, along wit the title, seems possible
