Lyrics

We are on a sinking ship

We acknowledge that we are in a precarious and challenging situation.

We are on a sinking ship

Reiteration of the acknowledgment that the situation is critical.


You say we are one

Despite our unity, there are problems.

You say we'll having fun

Despite challenges, we maintain a positive outlook and anticipate enjoyment.


You say we are all in the same boat

We are all facing the same difficulties together.

You say that this thing will float

Confidence in the collective's ability to overcome the challenges.


You say you had your doubts

Admitting to occasional doubts and the desire to escape the situation.

Sometimes you wanted to get out

Expressing moments of uncertainty and the inclination to leave.


Instead you said give this a little more time

Choosing to give the situation more time instead of immediate action.

And everything's gonna be fine

Believing that with time, things will improve and become stable.


We are on a sinking ship

Reiteration of the precarious nature of the situation.

We are on a sinking

Sinking

Highlighting the sinking theme.

Sinking ship

Further emphasizing the sinking nature of the situation.


And if your people are the best

Raising questions about the credibility of those in charge, given the need for protective measures.

Tell me why are you wearing a vest

Questioning the authenticity of leadership or authority figures.

This investigation into disinformation keeps putting everyone to the test

Referring to an investigation into misinformation, creating challenges for everyone.


So now we are getting drunk

Turning to vices like drinking to cope with the sinking reality.

What was sinking now is sunk

Highlighting the irreversible nature of the situation, now beyond rescue.

And everything we were just trying to save is now vanishing under the wave

Describing the loss of what was once valuable, now disappearing.


We are on a sinking ship

Reaffirming the critical condition of the situation.

We are on a sinking

Repetition to emphasize the sinking theme.

Continued emphasis on the sinking nature of the predicament.

Sinking, sinking

Further underscoring the sinking aspect of the predicament.

Reaffirming the critical nature of the situation.

Sinking, sinking

Repetition for emphasis on the sinking theme.

(We are on) sinking, sinking a sinking ship

Final repetition emphasizing the sinking nature of the ship.
