Expressing a contrast with traditional religious beliefs, opting for a unique path.

I'm gonna sing the pirate's gospel

Committing to singing the "pirate's gospel," suggesting a distinct and rebellious approach to life.

I'm gonna sow these feet for dancin'

I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open (oh oh oh, mmm)

Being vigilant and aware, possibly to embrace life's experiences fully.

We're slapping fireflies

Into our fair flesh

Until the fingernails

Will take us home (oh oh oh, mmm)
