This song is so strong to me. It's so deep and meaningful even though if you look at the lyrics it doesn't seem to be that way. The lead singer is almost screaming out. It's obvious he's looking for something he can't find. He's trying to find happiness but he doesn't know where to look. It's a very desperate song.
"Slish-slosh, life boat, float me away" --He wants to escape the problems he's having in his life.
"I've found escape is a state of mind" --This brings us to a recurring theme throughout Cloud Cult's music...the idea that you create your own future and your own life. Whatever you believe in is the truth, you only have to change the way you think, and you'll end up changing your life. We create our own happiness. In this song he's expressing the difficulty of finding that happiness sometimes.
I believe it has to do with overcoming his son's death, as a lot of his songs deal with that...fighting through that grief and agony and trying to continue through life despite that tragedy.
