i agree with tarumba on the meaning of this song. how liberating it is. although at the same time, the idea of being a "pirate" isn't exactly a noble sense of life. it's entirely possible that this song could be a satire of the idea of living in the world here and now, that secular humanists and people like that are just living on stolen time (from god(s)). For some reason that's what pirate as an adjective would mean to me. I don't think this is the case though because of the themes of other songs, and the very first line. It is obviously futile to "row" to heaven.
