This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Sailor´s coming home again
From over the ocean
He´s been away so long
He´s forgotten his name
Left it in a heart somewhere
No one to remind him
Sold it to a stranger
She took it away
There comes a time
When you understand
Falling in love
Is part of the plan
And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I´ll sail those same oceans again
So when I tilt my hat
To the breeze of the evening
Succumb to the flowers
Who say they´ll marry me
Then my lover walk away
Hang us like a painting
So there´s no more changes
No more
Tales of the sea
You got to get out
I understand
Losing yourself
Wasn´t part of the plan
And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I´ll sail those same oceans again
Sailor´s coming home again
From over the ocean
He´s been away so long
He´s forgotten his name
Left it in a bar somewhere
One drunken evening
If you talk to strangers baby
You might not come home
There comes a time
When you understand
Falling apart
Isn´t part of the plan
This song is for Jack Thompson
From over the ocean
He´s been away so long
He´s forgotten his name
Left it in a heart somewhere
No one to remind him
Sold it to a stranger
She took it away
There comes a time
When you understand
Falling in love
Is part of the plan
And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I´ll sail those same oceans again
So when I tilt my hat
To the breeze of the evening
Succumb to the flowers
Who say they´ll marry me
Then my lover walk away
Hang us like a painting
So there´s no more changes
No more
Tales of the sea
You got to get out
I understand
Losing yourself
Wasn´t part of the plan
And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I´ll sail those same oceans again
Sailor´s coming home again
From over the ocean
He´s been away so long
He´s forgotten his name
Left it in a bar somewhere
One drunken evening
If you talk to strangers baby
You might not come home
There comes a time
When you understand
Falling apart
Isn´t part of the plan
This song is for Jack Thompson
