Admiral
Admiralty of Love: Pledges, Sacrifices, and Unwavering Devotion Explored
Lyrics
Girlfriend for you I have fallen
Expressing romantic feelings, admitting to falling in love.
Just a little way in
Describing the depth or extent of the emotional connection.
I'm just a little bit sore
Acknowledging a slight emotional pain or discomfort.
Girlfriend, for you I have spoken out
Affirming the act of speaking up or advocating for the partner.
I've taken a hefty clout
Having endured a significant blow or setback for the partner.
To the jawbone for my sins
Referring to facing consequences or hardships for personal mistakes.
For my sins
Reiterating accountability for one's own mistakes or wrongdoings.
Girlfriend, it's you I'll scuttle ships for
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths for the partner.
Make my first mate walk the plank for
Indicating a readiness to sacrifice or take risks for the relationship.
Admire the all or nothing
Valuing extremes, suggesting a preference for intensity in love.
I'm admiral of nothing at all
Declaring a position of authority but admitting it's symbolic, not substantial.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the emptiness or lack of real power in the declared role.
Girlfriend, you might not like me much
Acknowledging potential displeasure when certain topics are mentioned.
When I mention such and such
Referring to specific issues or events that may cause discomfort.
To this old so and so
Addressing someone indirectly, possibly a third party involved.
But you know I
Leaving a statement incomplete, possibly suggesting hesitation or caution.
Girlfriend, you've carved a hairline scratch
Describing a minor but noticeable impact on emotions or feelings.
Into this granite heart
Portraying a tough, unyielding emotional state that has been affected.
And it's here I falter
Expressing a moment of hesitation or uncertainty in emotions.
Girlfriend, its you I'll scuttle the fleet for
Reiterating the willingness to make significant sacrifices for the partner.
Make my first mate walk the plank for
Continuing the theme of readiness to take risks and make sacrifices.
Admire the all or nothing
Valuing extremes in admiration, echoing line 10's sentiment.
I'm admiral of nothing at all
Repeating the idea of holding a symbolic position of authority with no substance.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the emptiness or lack of real power in the declared role (repeated).
I'm admiral of nothing at all
Repeating the acknowledgment of lacking real authority or power.
Admire the all or nothing
Reiterating the value placed on extremes in admiration (repeated).
