Where The Dead Ships Dwell Lyrics
Big picture slowly fades
Walls are closing in
And there I was, cursing the ground
Unable to understand
I won't let the world break me
So I need to change direction
Nothing special and far from perfect
Light the way for me
I won't say I'm sorry
I got what I deserved
Feel I was running an endless mile
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
Walking where the dead ships dwell
These are shores I left behind
Streets are getting smaller
And I had to leave
Feel I was running an endless mile
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
All I hear is noise
Heart of false hope
Guess, I took it for granted
I know i went too far
I won't say I'm sorry
I got what I deserved
I got what I deserved
Feel I was running an endless mile
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
Feel I was running an endless mile
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
Walls are closing in
And there I was, cursing the ground
Unable to understand
So I need to change direction
Nothing special and far from perfect
Light the way for me
I got what I deserved
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
These are shores I left behind
Streets are getting smaller
And I had to leave
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
Heart of false hope
Guess, I took it for granted
I know i went too far
I won't say I'm sorry
I got what I deserved
I got what I deserved
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind
Last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
And change for a peace of mind

Hm. I think the Clayman (=D) is talking about how painful it is for him to look back on the ways in which he has adapted over time. Perhaps the dead ships are a metaphor for the mindsets he has used throughout his life to move through time in this ever-changing world. Maybe he now feels he changed too much, and cannot remember how he used to be during certain times, and it pains him to not be able to return to them.
Seems like at the beginning he was forced into some form of major change in his life, but later he reflectes back.
