Sinking Boat
Escaping a Sinking Fate
Lyrics
Jumping out
Escaping quickly
Of a sinking boat
Leaving a situation that is failing or in trouble
Swimming away
Swimming away from the sinking boat
And watching it burn
Observing the boat being destroyed by fire
Looking back
Reflecting on the past
Back to the start
Returning mentally to the beginning
We were breathing fine
Recalling a time when everything was fine
The boat used to be
Referring to the boat's previous strength and resilience
Unbreakable
Indicating the boat was previously not easily damaged
I can feel the sparks
Feeling the initial signs of destruction
Of this burning place
Sensing imminent danger or catastrophe
I am drowning now
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by the situation
I can't see the light
Being unable to find hope or a way out
I'm in the dark
Being lost in a state of confusion or despair
In the dark
Emphasizing being in a state of darkness
I'm too far
Feeling distant or unreachable
I've been drifting away
Slowly moving away from the initial situation
I'll be saved by the waves
Expecting salvation from a different source
But I lost my shelter
Having lost protection or safety
There's a long long way
Describing a long journey ahead
Before I see the ground
Anticipating a substantial time before reaching stability
There's no going back
Realizing the impossibility of returning to the past
It's about to explode
Suggesting an imminent and intense disaster
I won't get burnt
Confident about avoiding one type of harm
But I will drown
Accepting another form of peril
I won't get burnt
Reiterating avoidance of a specific danger
But I will drown
Repeating the acceptance of a different threat
I can feel the sparks
Re-experiencing the initial signs of destruction
Of this burning place
Reiterating the sense of impending catastrophe
I am drowning now
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation and helplessness
I can't see the light
Re-emphasizing the inability to find a way out
I'm in the dark
Reiterating the sense of being lost and hopeless
In the dark
Repeating the feeling of being in darkness
I can feel the sparks
Re-experiencing the initial signs of destruction
Of this burning place
Reiterating the sense of impending catastrophe
I am drowning now
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation and helplessness
I can't see the light
Re-emphasizing the inability to find a way out
I'm in the dark
Reiterating the sense of being lost and hopeless
In the dark
Repeating the feeling of being in darkness
