Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats Lyrics
Respect
Is never given enough today
I'm tired of looking the other way
Respect
An appetite that we can't sustain
We're on a mission to kiss our days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
Respect
A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
Respect
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can't escape from the past on holiday
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high
Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Respect
Catastrophic events don't change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
Respect
But don't you worry cause you'll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away
So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Don't be afraid of the view from economy class
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who's gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast sunk into the past
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast, we can never come back
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Cannibal rats
Is never given enough today
I'm tired of looking the other way
An appetite that we can't sustain
We're on a mission to kiss our days away
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can't escape from the past on holiday
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Catastrophic events don't change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
But don't you worry cause you'll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
It's just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast sunk into the past
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast, we can never come back
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think, and forgive me if I'm wrong, that certain lines throughout the song imply an apocalyptic event. And some other lines kind of sound like someone coming from a life of poverty or working class talking to another individual of a higher class, such as royalty or a more privileged life, who is denying the fact that the world's situation is taking away some of their luxury and social status, as in an apocalypse, none of these things matter. Also, the name of the song can be interpreted as being in n a situation where you're in an area where mass death or disease struck, and you can't leave. I also find the song has a certain feel of urgency, or danger, or crisis of some form, which strengthens my theory of apocalypse. I could be wrong, though, as this is just a theory. I am curious to hear some other opinions and theories as well.
