Karma Lyrics
Crashing to the surface
My convictions lay bare before the tempest
As chaos explodes around me
I find myself in the jaws of destruction
Tested, by the force of the tempest
Pushed, to the point of no return
Losing ground
Let the steel of my resolve
Be not bested by the sum of my fears
Clarity unfolds
A moment's calm in the eye of the storm
Relentless, I surge onwards
Surfacing
No regrets, no second chance
Nothing will hold me back
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick heart home
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick heart home
Carry me home
Tension clings to me
Resistance coils inside
Forcing me down, I fear nothing
Into Poseidon's arms
Forcing me down, I fear nothing
I must hold on
This is a strength born in misery
A focus cut of this insanity
I fight my way from the gates of hell
I hold on
This is a strength born in misery
A focus cut of this insanity
I fight my way from the gates of hell
I hold on
I hold on
A body, locked in the vice grip of conflict
A mind, sharpened on the shards of disappointment
And from the depths of hell I rise
From gilded cage, my spirit flies
Memories of another life call me home
Surfacing
Surfacing
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick heart home
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick, seasick heart home
My convictions lay bare before the tempest
As chaos explodes around me
I find myself in the jaws of destruction
Tested, by the force of the tempest
Pushed, to the point of no return
Losing ground
Let the steel of my resolve
Be not bested by the sum of my fears
Clarity unfolds
A moment's calm in the eye of the storm
Relentless, I surge onwards
Surfacing
No regrets, no second chance
Nothing will hold me back
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick heart home
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick heart home
Carry me home
Tension clings to me
Resistance coils inside
Forcing me down, I fear nothing
Into Poseidon's arms
Forcing me down, I fear nothing
I must hold on
This is a strength born in misery
A focus cut of this insanity
I fight my way from the gates of hell
I hold on
This is a strength born in misery
A focus cut of this insanity
I fight my way from the gates of hell
I hold on
I hold on
A body, locked in the vice grip of conflict
A mind, sharpened on the shards of disappointment
And from the depths of hell I rise
From gilded cage, my spirit flies
Memories of another life call me home
Surfacing
Surfacing
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick heart home
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart
Seasick, seasick heart home

In this song, he is returning. He's been to hell and back and now it's time for revenge. Once and for all. "No regrets. No second chance. Nothing will hold me back."
Btw, the song is titled "Karma", meaning what comes around goes around.
A song about escaping the cycle of life and death by overcoming karma. Despite the tension, chaos, conflict and fears of life on earth, the person in the song is holding strong in their resolve to overcome and escape the path to hell so that their seasick heart (referencing sickness of the continual life and death cycle) will be freed upon death and not take on another life.
EPIC album,best song on the album. in this part:"I fight my way from the fates of hell." it is :"I fight my way from the gates of hell." it's gates,not fates.
Cheers! I typed these out from the booklet, and after doing so many songs, it gets very tedious and I probably made a few mistakes here and there lol

This album is absolutely next-level good. I don't know my more people don't listen to them, at least in the states. They are the best metal band in the world. They are the full package. The dish out incredible melodies, vocals, and straight-up brutality when they want to.

As for this song, I thought for the longest time (Before lyrics were posted on the net) that it was "Shipwrecked BOATS carry my..." but apparently I am wrong and the lyrics are correct. As to the meaning itself, it's another Parkway Drive song the invokes emotion through lyrics about the sea....

As to the meaning itself, it's another Parkway Drive song the invokes emotion through lyrics about the sea. My best guess as to why they so often make references to the ocean is because they are from Australia, which is relatively small and obviously surrounded by the ocean (like all continents).
They use awesome nautical references for everyday life. I think it's about the ocean representing society/life and the dangers it involves, and we're just swimming in the storm as people. He resists Poseidon, the gates of hell,obviously meaning death. I think the line that sums this song up is "shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart", meaning he's sick of what happens throughout society but the people (the bones, "shipwrecked" because they're at a standstill with their minds) that cause these problems never learn. Dangers and temptations in life are dragging his heart to the bottom of the sea. Sick stuff. That's just my take on it.
I think its about him saying that nothing will stop him from doing what he loves. People can put him down, "Forcing me down," but he does not let this deter him. They push him way far down because they do not agree with him, could be people criticizing him based on choices or just bullying, but he is not afraid. He takes it as a test, uses his anger to fuel his reason for perusing what he loves. He has endured so much negative criticism that it has made him stronger. With a struggle he has made it apparent that nothing will stop him from doing whatever it is he is doing. "This is a strength born in misery... I fight my way from the gates of Hell." Sick song, kinda can relate!
this song uses fuckin sick imagery of him falling off a surfboard to describe his struggles with society
Like most Parkway Drive songs, it conveys epic imagery and makes you want to lose your mind it's so tremendous. Whenever I hear this, I imagine an ancient pirate war ship with a skeleton crew battling through a dark green tumultuous sea. It just amps you up so much, and that bass wobble during the chorus is so wonderful...goosebump material.
This entire album is just so incredible. You listen to these songs and you want to take on the world. Great workout music too. PARKWAY DRIVE I LOOOOOVE YOOOOU!!!!!!
