Tall Tales, Telltales Lyrics

The song is an allegory. Its not about a shipwreck so much as your life being a wreck. Perseverance during times of trouble.

"its a good life if you dont weaken" I think this line is an interesting contrast to The Great Decay on the same EP. Emotion is rarely consistent.
