High Water Mark
Navigating Desperation: High Water Mark's Poignant Message
Lyrics
I wonder if they'll ever find we're out here
I am contemplating whether they will ever discover our presence in this situation.
The colors stretch as far as I can see
The colors in the surroundings extend as far as my vision allows.
And I'm feeling like the lot of us will die here
I feel that many of us might not survive this ordeal.
But at least I know it's not all up to me
Despite the challenges, I find solace in knowing that the responsibility does not solely rest on my shoulders.
The hull is taking on all sorts of pressure
The ship's structure is experiencing various forms of stress.
And at any moment it's all about to breach
There's an imminent danger of the hull breaching at any moment.
So get your women and your children all out of here
Evacuate women and children before the air supply becomes insufficient.
Before there's no air left for them to breathe
A sense of urgency to ensure survival by securing breathable air for loved ones.
I'll find a way to keep you safe
I commit to finding a way to protect you from harm.
From everything that we have made
Emphasizing the responsibility for the consequences of our collective actions.
For today we'll hide away
We will temporarily retreat from the challenges of today.
I'll keep the light on til we're safe
I'll maintain hope by keeping a source of illumination until we are secure.
Captain, I've been thinking of our time here
Reflecting on the importance of oxygen in our current predicament.
How oxygen is all we really need
The ship's deck has become a burial ground, and death may approach sooner than expected.
The deck is now our graveyard and we all fear
Encouraging others to gather loved ones and belongings due to the impediment caused by fire.
That death is coming sooner than we believe
If there were divine guidance, it would suggest that humanity belongs on Earth.
So gather up your families and your belongings
The fire makes it hard for us to see
Visibility is compromised due to the presence of fire, adding to the urgency.
And if God herself had word in all that's happening
If a higher power could communicate, it would advise that Earth is the rightful home for humans.
She'd say "Earth is where the human race should be"
I'll find a way to keep you safe
Commitment to finding a solution to ensure safety.
From everything that we have made
Acknowledgment of the consequences of human actions and the need for protection.
For today we'll hide away
A temporary withdrawal from the challenges of the present.
I'll keep the light on til we're safe
Retaining hope by maintaining illumination until security is established.
Flying high at night
Describing an experience of flying at night and discovering a blinding light.
We found the light
The light causes discomfort to the eyes.
It burned our eyes
Flying high at night
-We found the light
-It burned our eyes
-I'll keep you safe
Reiteration of the commitment to ensure the safety of others.
Whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh oh
-Whoa-oh oh
-I'll keep you safe
-Whoa-oh oh
-Whoa-oh oh
-Whoa-oh oh
-I'll keep you safe
Reiteration of the commitment to ensure the safety of others.
