Turn This Boat Around
Navigating Life's Storms: Matt and Kim's 'Turn This Boat Around' Meaning
Lyrics
Please direct my call
Asking for guidance or assistance
Like strings and cans through halls
Describing communication attempts (metaphorically)
I made some out of lead
Creating makeshift communication devices
And I tried them out from bed
Testing the makeshift devices
Couldn't make it through the walls
Failure to communicate through barriers
Turn this boat around
Desire to change direction
We're starting to go down
Sense of impending trouble or failure
But it begins to rain
Difficult circumstances arise
You forgot how dark it stains
Forgetting the consequences of negative actions
Thought it was a drought
Misinterpretation of a situation
La la la, leave it all behind
Letting go of the past
La la la, see the fight
Accepting challenges or conflicts
La la la, make the best of it
Making the most of a situation
La la la, and goodnight
Wishing goodnight or farewell
Left turn look both ways
Exercising caution or vigilance
Take breaks on cloudy days
Taking breaks during difficult times
With miles and miles of roads
Having various paths ahead
How'd you know which ones have holes?
Difficulty in recognizing potential problems
I'm glad we didn't stay
Relief or satisfaction in avoiding something
La la la, leave it all behind
Letting go of the past
La la la, see the fight
Confronting challenges or conflicts
La la la, until the end
Perseverance until the end
La la la, and goodnight
Wishing goodnight or farewell
