Blue

I KIND of agree with Trasazon... Except I think he might be talking to some one... I think he's basically saying "Will you help me forget just how much I've wasted my life?", and then continuing with "We're both headed towards uncertainty, and ultimately death, so we might as well suffer together until we die...".

If you listen very carefully, in the chorus the second time that he "supposedly" says 'ship', it sounds a lot like sht in stead of ship. I'm almost positive that's what he says. "Let's go down with the ship Let's slip into oblivion Let's go down with the SHT Let's slip into, let's slip into The blue"

Don't know what it means per se. Maybe just expressing his angst?

well firestourm,i agree with what you say ..and the lyrics has a better meaning that way!

Jesus Christ, this is my favorite song of all time. It's really gotten inside of me.

Yeah, he says "ship" first time and "shit" the next. I've always heard it that way.

Great song - beautiful - reminds me a little of John Lennon. I think it's about giving up and letting go.

Yup, your pretty much right Trashazon. Jon is basically expressing how he regrets not living life to full potential (for whatever reason it may be.) In effect, he seems to be very depressed hence the line "Hope is falling away from me." The ship sinking is a comparison to someone giving up on life because of these life long regrets. Awesome song.

I haven't looked at the official lyrics in literally over a decade. Since then, I'm quite convinced that the lyrics to this song are actually quite different from what they appear to be on paper. This is honestly how I hear it now:

Will you turn my mind away from Everything that I have ever done Warmth is far away from me Warmth is far away from me

Let's go down with the ship Let's slip into oblivion Let's go down with the shit Let's slip into Let's slip into The blue

Will you turn my mind away from Everything that I have ever done? Warmth is far away from me Warmth is far away from me

Let's go down with the ship Let's slip into oblivion Let's go down with the shit Let's slip into Let's slip into The blue
