Lyrics
They crawled through the backstreets
Individuals traversed through less frequented streets.
Searching for the rapture
They sought a state of intense pleasure or enthusiasm.
In the dirtiest of corners
In the most squalid and undesirable corners.
New memories to capture
Attempting to create new memories.
They were pissing on each other
Engaging in unconventional and perhaps reckless behavior.
And calling it romantic
Describing unconventional acts as romantic.
But once the sheets dried out it was only semantics
Once the initial excitement faded, it was just a matter of words.
So please be kind to The Golden Hind
Plea to show compassion to something named "The Golden Hind."
And say oh-oh-oh-oh
Expressing a melodic refrain, possibly representing a plea or statement.
It's not our fault that we're deaf, dumb and blind
Claiming innocence or lack of responsibility due to sensory limitations.
We say oh-oh-oh-oh
Repetition of the melodic refrain.
They cursed the madness
Condemning a state of insanity from all directions.
From all four cold directions
Expressing sincerity in acknowledging the severity of the situation.
Honest to badness
Referring to the mass burial of lost desires or aspirations.
A mass grave of lost erections
Highlighting the harsh reality of unfulfilled sexual encounters.
Roots of ever-lasting love
Implies that the roots of enduring love are established in childhood.
Are coded in childhood
The chances of success were hindered by psychological baggage.
Didn't stand a chance with all that neurotic deadwood

So please be kinder to The Golden Hind
Repeating the melodic refrain.
And say oh-oh-oh-oh
Asking for understanding while feeling constrained in an urban environment.
Stuck in the city and out of our minds
Expressing a sense of being overwhelmed or losing sanity in the city.
We say oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Extended repetition of the melodic refrain.
I've been running for forever
Personal experience of continuous movement without resolution.
Over mountains, over dunes
Physical descriptions of the challenging terrain faced during the journey.
From the corporation fumes
Reference to pollution from corporate entities during the journey.
It's not the running that's the problem
Attributing the problem to the choice of path rather than the act of running.
It's the poor choice of terrain
Repetition emphasizing the recurring nature of poor choices.
Again and again and again
