Ulysses Lyrics

Cover art for Ulysses lyrics by Josh Garrels

"So tie me to the mast of this old ship and point me home Before I lose the one I love, before my chance is gone."

I've just started listening to this album, and am at the point where I can't really remember which song is which yet. I was listening to this song, left my iPod mid-song, came back later, and was like "oh, I think that this is one of the songs I like less. Maybe I should skip the rest." But I didn't skip it. And as soon as I pressed play, those lines started, and it was so beautiful. I love it.

Using what you fellows had mentioned earlier about the clear Odyssey story reference to these lines, I feel like there also might be a double metaphor to the cross as well. Binding Jesus to the cross (mast) was a very desperate measure in order to not lose the ones He loved. This is simply my interpretation, not sure if Josh meant for this.
