Down the Dolce Vita
Surviving the Dolce Vita: A Tale of Heroes and Hope
Lyrics
'Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!
Addressing someone named Mac, expressing anticipation of meeting at Dolce Vita.
'Get back, we don't have time
Urgent command to retreat, emphasizing lack of time.
'cause I hear we're sending off the heroes
Referring to the departure of heroes, possibly for a war or mission.
When the year goes, they're out of the bay,
Heroes will return when the year ends, out of the bay.
Trying to find a way
Attempting to find a way to survive the challenges.
To make it alive'
Reiterating the struggle for survival.
'So long' said poor men to their families,
Poor men bid farewell to their families, advising strength in their absence.
Be strong 'til we get back home.
Encouragement to stay strong until the return home.
And if not, take care of all the children
If not back, the instruction to take care of the children in the meantime.
Until then just hope and pray
Expressing hope and prayer for a safe return.
To make it alive'
Reiterating the theme of hoping to survive the challenges.
'You guys are crazy'
A remark on the perceived craziness of the situation.
They shout and then we leave the harbor.
Shouting as they depart from the harbor, acknowledging uncertainty.
In doubt, they're acting weird
People on the ship are behaving strangely in doubt or fear.
And the sea is whipping up a welcome
The sea is unwelcoming, creating challenges for the journey.
If hell come we're all easy prey,
If hell comes, everyone is vulnerable and easy prey.
Trying to find a way
Continuing efforts to find a way to survive the difficulties.
To make it alive'
Reiterating the struggle for survival amid challenges.
'You guys are crazy'
Repeating the comment on the perceived craziness.
The captain's hand shook for the guys to get in place
The captain signals for everyone to be in position.
He said, 'Let's look behind your face.'
The captain urges the crew to reveal their true selves.
With each corner covered, they were all around
All areas are covered, awaiting a signal at midnight.
Waiting for the midnight bell to sound
Waiting for a specific time, possibly for a planned action.
'Out of sight," cried Aeron through his glasses
Aeron warns to stay hidden, using glasses for observation.
'Don't fight' said Gorham's smioulder
Gorham advises against fighting, opting for a subtle approach.
I was scared of being easy prey,
Expressing fear of being vulnerable and easy prey.
Trying to find a way
Continuing efforts to find a way to survive the challenges.
To make it alive'
Reiterating the theme of hoping to survive the challenges.
