Rowboat
Navigating Life's Storms: Rowboat by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton
Lyrics
I?ve been told I?m livin? a lie
I have been informed that I am living a falsehood.
I?ve been told all my life
Throughout my life, people have told me various things.
I?ve been told I?m livin? a lie
I have been told once again that I am living a lie.
I?ve been told all my life
Similar to before, I have been told things throughout my life.
I haven?t got more than one dress
I only possess one dress.
Mostly I wear it out walking to work
Mostly, I wear this dress when I walk to work.
Who else am I?
I question my identity, asking who else I am.
Getting it wrong almost every time
I frequently make mistakes, getting things wrong almost every time.
Where else, where else am I?
I contemplate where else I can be, both physically and metaphorically.
Living alone in my head
I exist in isolation within my own thoughts.
Rowboat left in the rain
A rowboat is left exposed to the rain.
Drifting out on the lake
This rowboat is drifting on the lake.
Where could my one love be?
I ponder the whereabouts of my one true love.
Oh, rowboat left in the rain
A rowboat is abandoned in the rain.
Drifting by on the lake
It drifts by on the lake, potentially symbolizing the passage of time.
Rescue my one love from the grief
I plead for the rescue of my one true love from grief.
