Cover art for The Boat Dreams From The Hill lyrics by Jawbreaker

I always think of this song as a metaphor for a dream deferred. The boat (dream) is broken down and the dreamer always tries to patch it up but never actually accomplishes anything (taking it to sea). The process repeats itself as in the chorus. Honestly, this is one of the best songs ever written.

Absolutely.
