Drunken Boat
Voyage of Desires: Navigating the Depths in Kendra Smith's Drunken Boat
Lyrics
Down to the sea in a drunken boat
Embarking on a sea journey in an intoxicated state.
No one can get to her tearing up the words she wrote
Isolating herself by destroying the messages she penned.
Down impassable rivers
Navigating through challenging and impassable rivers.
What does she care for a crew
Showing indifference towards having a crew on the boat.
Light as a cork she is dancing
Moving buoyantly, like a cork, dancing on the sea waves.
On the waves of the deep sunk dead
Gracefully moving over the submerged remains in the deep sea.
Moonlit lantern idiot eyes
Her eyes, illuminated by the moon, reflect an enigmatic foolishness.
Delirious rhythms that catch her at dawn
Experiencing delirious rhythms that captivate her at dawn.
Black perfumes that drag her and drug her
Being influenced and pulled by dark fragrances that intoxicate her.
Under the bottomless spiralling sky
Sailing under an endless, spiraling sky.
Nighttime breathes in ominous fortune
Nighttime brings a sense of foreboding fortune.
She thinks of the calm before stroming
Reflecting on the calm before a storm and recalling maternal warnings.
And hears Ma's silent warning
Recalling a silent warning from her mother.
Down to the sea in a drunken boat
Repeating the theme of setting out to sea while intoxicated.
No one can get to her tearing up the words she wrote
Reiterating the idea that no one can reach her as she destroys her words.
On a drunken boat she is sailing
Continuing the description of her journey on the drunken boat.
Down to the sea she's singing
Singing as she sails towards the sea.
Nothing is quite as it seems
Emphasizing the deceptive nature of appearances.
And no man on earth can be hid from her dreaming
Stating that no man can escape her dreams.
