Lost Continent Lyrics

Lyric discussion by kalckel 

Cover art for Lost Continent lyrics by Thrice

Yes, it's obviously alluding to Atlantis, not global warming or even American politics.

Dustin's never been a political writer. His songs are about the conditon of the human soul, and all human souls.

Like Atlantis, we have become greedy and too comfortable in our lives. We have turned out eyes from the important things and have fallen too many times from our souls.

And, if we don't, as he writes, "turn around," then the sea will swallow us--we will fall, drown, be destroyed by our own doing or perhaps by God or the world's doing.

Kalckel, you say Dustin has never been a political writer, but then what is your interpretation of Broken Lungs or The Sky Is Falling? Because those are definitely very political songs
