Ship
Apocalyptic Odyssey: Dean Omori's Ship Reveals a World in Chaos
Lyrics
There's ten billion people living on this ship
Indicating a crowded world, emphasizing the ship as a metaphor for Earth with a large population.
There's blood on the deck beneath biblical skies
Describing a violent or tumultuous situation on the ship, symbolized by blood under a sky reminiscent of biblical imagery.
The captain and crew will sail us off the edge of the world
Suggesting a journey to an unknown or perilous destination, possibly without consent from the passengers.
Without a mutiny we're all gonna die
Implying a potential catastrophe unless the passengers rebel against the captain and crew.
Without a mutiny we're all gonna die
Reiterating the urgency of a mutiny to avoid impending doom.
The rats are leaving and the bankers they own the lifeboats
Highlighting a sense of abandonment by those in power, with the wealthy securing safety while others are left vulnerable.
The food here will kill ya they ringing the mortician's bell
Pointing to dangerous conditions on the ship, including unhealthy food and a foreshadowing of death.
The captain said the water ain't rising up on his boat
Contradicting the captain's assurance that the ship is not in danger despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
Didn't you see it coming we're going to hell
Expressing frustration at the lack of foresight regarding the ship's perilous situation.
Didn't you see it coming we're going to hell
Reiterating the disbelief or lack of awareness about the impending disaster.
The prisons are full the hospital filled with tears
Highlighting societal issues such as overcrowded prisons and overwhelmed hospitals.
We're mating with each other pornography has replaced love
Commenting on the degradation of relationships, with pornography replacing genuine love.
Our evolution is in the progress of war
Suggesting that humanity's progress is marred by the ongoing presence of war.
Send out the raven instead of the dove
Using the raven as a symbol of doom instead of the traditional dove of peace.
Send out the raven instead of the dove
Reinforcing the pessimistic outlook on the state of the world and its future.
The water filled with bodies the sky filled with doom
Painting a grim picture of the environment, with water and sky filled with death and destruction.
There's no room for tomorrow down here in the hold
Indicating a lack of hope or space for the future in the lower parts of the ship.
The ship is sinking but I heard nobody knew
Contradicting the captain's earlier statement, confirming the ship's sinking without general awareness.
Sure looks like we discovered the end of the world
Expressing a realization that the world may be coming to an end.
Sure looks like we discovered the end of the world
Reiterating the perception that humanity has reached a catastrophic endpoint.
