Sail North
Sail North: Revelry in the Cold Embrace of Silence
Lyrics
Turn it up, gimme volume or blood
Requesting high volume or excitement, possibly at the cost of intensity or conflict
Make that bass sound pound through the walls
Emphasizing the desire for intense bass to resonate forcefully
This is what we do where there´s nothing to do
Describing engagement in activities in a place where there's typically not much to do
In the country of rain and snow
Referencing a location characterized by precipitation (rain) and cold weather (snow)
Crank it up gimme volume and blood, c’mon baby shake that ass
Urging for increased volume and excitement, encouraging movement and dance
Hit it all again ’cause we never grow old
Expressing a desire to relive experiences and maintain a youthful spirit
This is what we do up in the cold
Reinforcing the continuation of certain activities despite cold conditions
This is what we do where we come from
Identifying the habitual actions in their place of origin
How we do it where we call home
Describing the manner in which things are done in their hometown
Take a ride on the hellway to high
Metaphorically referring to a challenging or intense path towards a higher state
Where the moon shines bright and tears don’t dry
Portraying a place of brightness and emotional vulnerability
Pay a visit to where silence is gold
Describing a place where silence is valued and conversation is limited to necessity
Here no one ever speaks unless spoken to
Illustrating a culture where speaking only upon being prompted is the norm
Sail north—Scandinavian bound
Expressing a journey towards Scandinavian regions
Sail north—to where only weekends count
Highlighting the significance of weekends in this journey
Rev it up hun, give it some gas and push the pedal right down through the floor
Encouraging acceleration and pushing limits, especially when things slow down
This is what we do when the weekend get slow, this is how we roll
Describing action during slow weekends, showcasing a particular way of living
Rev it up, give it gas—gotta make that engine roar
Encouraging the use of power and intensity to make an impact
Hit it again ´cause it never gets old
Expressing the desire for repetition of experiences without losing their allure
This is how we roll up in the north
Defining the lifestyle or behavior typical of the northern regions
This is what we do it where we come from
Stating the typical actions in their place of origin
How we do it where we call home
Describing the customary practices in their hometown
Take a ride on the hellway to high
Metaphorically indicating a challenging or intense path towards elevation or ecstasy
Where the moon shines bright and tears don’t dry
Depicting a place of brightness and emotional openness
Pay a visit to where silence is gold
Describing a location where silence is treasured and speaking is minimal
Here no one ever speaks unless spoken to
Illustrating a societal norm of speaking only when addressed directly
Sail north—Scandinavian bound
Expressing a journey toward Scandinavian territories
Sail north—to where only weekends count
Emphasizing the importance of weekends in this particular destination
