Cover art for When I Met Death lyrics by Right Away, Great Captain!

I agree with samich, I think it's "the Son that has one thousand sons" maybe in reference to Jesus being the son of god and all of his followers being his children (Sons). This makes the whole part make more sense : " prepare to meet the king, The son that has one thousand sons, deciding if ones me." So I get from that prepare to go and meet Jesus so that he can decide if he's ok to tome to heaven and is still ok to be one of his sons.

I also got "a Tidal reunion" I could be wrong but it makes more sense, him being away at sea then coming back.

Also (and again I could be wrong) but: "all the seams that you've undone" Seems to fit better.

As for the meaning it's a very easy to understand song so I won't get into that. Just perfect and clever lyrics.

Ah yes, that makes more sense about the Tidal Reunion.

And I forgot to mention the seams part. The fact that they must be sewn... haha

A friend and I have listened to that TI-83 part over and over, and we get either something like 'idea' or matia or 'a tia'. But the 83 part still holds. Still have no idea there.

Hopefully someone who ordered the deluxe vinyl package can straighten this up sometime soon. haha
