I don't want to let you go
But it hurts my hands to hold the rope
I won't be such an easy mark
You're no better then they say
And all the candles on the cake
All set fire to the gate
Turn the cannons towards the boat
Men were drowning in the moat
It was the end of all rowers oars
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
All I want's some earth and seed
But only grow the things I need
But first I must find my way back
And you go lay down on the track
At first I had an even keel
But now I'm not sure what is real.
It's taken me this long to learn
That every dead is ate by worms
And once they're gone they don't return
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I'm falling asleep to forget you
How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and boney, exposed for a phoney
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait til later
I don't think that you've got to pretend
I see God in birds and Satan in long words
But I know what you need in a friend
So now when I leave you, I hope I won't see you
How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and boney, exposed for a phoney
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait til later
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Well, I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I'm falling asleep to forget you

In my opinion, this song is about being betrayed by someone you thought you can trust. am I wrong?
@h2big I think either about betrayal of trust or perhaps letting go of a friendship/relationship with someone who is constantly hopeless or self-destructive.

The first screamed part I believe is "You're no better than this sailor!"
It was the end of all the rowers' HOPE.
This is mostly correct I think.
I don't want to let you go But it hurts my hands to hold the rope I won't be such an easy mark You're no better than this, sailor!

The "I see God in birds and Satan in long words" line could refer to the fact that he sees God as evident through natural, complex things like birds but sees Satan when studying sciences or philosophies.
I think you could be right! I like that interpretation
I think you could be right! I like that interpretation
I like to think of that line as showing how people mistakenly see God in the trivial, like people seeing "angels" in clouds and finding Satan in "long words" or education, things that people don't generally like or understand. It's more of a condemnation, to me.

Then again, that's just my take on it.

"At dawn the fire snuck into your bedroom Now I'm falling asleep to forget you"
This is remarkably similar to the lyrical themes in 'Bed'
"My head is lit I don't ever wanna go to bed Your hair is on fire"
I'm starting to think this is a concept album, the same themes of fire, forests, and sleep are constantly recurring, listen to Noro in particular, seems to link all the songs together aswell as coming full cirlce to the hymn at the start of Vices
All I'll say is: assisted suicide
wat
Why are you still here?
