Survive
Island Survival: Choices for Life in Sushi Soucy's 'Survive'
Lyrics
You're on a Delta flight to Barbados, cause you've been needing a vacation
You're on a Delta flight to Barbados, needing a vacation
They offer you champagne, and how can you say no to a little early celebration
Offered champagne on the flight, prompting early celebration
Then you hear a concerning sound coming from the engine
Hearing concerning sounds from the engine
The tension builds as you quickly begin your doomed ascent to the ground, and now you're stranded on an island
Tension builds during a doomed ascent, now stranded on an island
So what would you take to survive
Questioning what to take to survive
If there was just one thing that I could bring, what would you decide
If only one thing could be brought, what would be chosen
Um, eeny, meeny, miney, Adil, what would you decide to bring
Considering options, mentioning "Adil"
Me
Simple response: "Me"
I mean, alright, I guess
Accepting the response with a mild acknowledgment
I guess my go-to answer is matches, because you're gonna need a fire
Suggesting matches as essential for creating fire
But what if you run out
Raising the concern of running out of matches
Well, that's what the catch is
Highlighting the catch: needing an unlimited supply
You'd need unlimited supply, or you're gonna die on the twentieth night, and the fire's dying with you
Emphasizing the importance of a hatchet for survival
So instead, I would slaughter my meals and strike rock on the steel of my hatchet
Choosing to slaughter meals and use a hatchet for fire
So who needs a stupid match kit
Dismissing the need for a match kit
That's what I'd take to survive
Deciding that a hatchet is the one thing to bring
If there was just one thing that I could bring, that's what I'd decide
If only one thing could be brought, a hatchet is the choice
So the fire's burning bright and there's not a man inside, and you're wondering if you can even make it through the night
With a bright fire and no one around, survival is uncertain
And the goal for which you strive is to simply stay alive
The goal is simply to stay alive
So what would it take to survive
Reiterating the question: What does it take to survive?
Marley, what would you decide to bring
Asking someone named "Marley" what they would bring
Oh, uh, well, I, um, weapons are great, but what about water
Marley suggests weapons, but the focus shifts to water
That should be your number one concern
Emphasizing water as a top priority
Yes, you're surrounded, but you'd need a filter, or you could let a fire burn and boil the salt to the bottom of the pot
Explaining the need for a filter and the option of boiling seawater
Wait, no, that's not how that works
Realizing a mistake in the water boiling process
You can't make seawater drinkable by boiling it
Disagreeing on making seawater drinkable by boiling
Yes, you can
Asserting that boiling seawater makes it drinkable
No, you can't
Continuing the disagreement on water purification
Also, where would you even find a bowl to boil the water in
Questioning the availability of a bowl for boiling water
A bowl
Suggesting the need for a bowl
You mean a pot
Correcting the term to "pot" for boiling water
You can boil water in a bowl
Arguing that water can be boiled in a bowl
Besides, it doesn't matter
Dismissing the importance, stating it doesn't matter
You wouldn't have a pot either
Pointing out the absence of a pot or a bowl
Guys, oh my god, stop fighting
Urging to stop fighting and reach a consensus
We're trying to reach a consensus here, remember
Reminding everyone of the goal: reaching a consensus
If there was just one thing that you could bring, what would you decide
If only one thing could be brought, what would you decide?
That's what I take to survive
Choosing a hatchet as the one thing to bring for survival
If there was just one thing that I could bring, that's what I'd decide
If only one thing could be brought, a hatchet is the decision
So the fire's burning bright and there's not a man's side
Repeating the scenario of a bright fire and no one around
And you're wondering if you can even make it through the night
Questioning the possibility of making it through the night
And the goal for which you strive is to simply stay alive
The goal is to simply stay alive
So what would it take to survive
Reiterating the question: What does it take to survive?
