Cover art for Memories on a Deck, Pt. 2 lyrics by Right Away, Great Captain!

i agree with those who said its 'don't you bleed out an apology, you'll always be a liar to me."

its about him being out to sea, and missing his 'loved' ones, who turned on him. his brother sleeping with his wife. that sort of thing. being betrayed while he's out sailing.

the first verse is about someone turning on him, whether it be his wife, or another woman who was just a friend.

i can see a shit faced brother that i covered for what must have been the last 10 years

  • he defended his brother for years, and he still betrayed him. in the worst way, by sleeping with his wife.

i can see a heart sized hole inside the bottle where I'm pondering a mid night swim

  • he's turned to drinking, trying to fill the hole that was left when he was betrayed by said brother and wife.

i could tell you i was dying but you wouldn't know for 3 more years

  • he's out sailing away from home, so even if he was dying and sent someone to tell his wife/brother, they wouldn't know for another 3 years. and he'd probably already be dead.
