Navigating Frozen Depths: The Fliplighters' Arctic Odyssey
Lyrics
(Are you turning out?)
The question asks if a change is occurring.
When I'm fetching my sea legs
Referencing getting accustomed to a new situation or environment.
Wood legs, Alaskan waves
Describing an experience in Alaska involving wooden structures and the waves of the sea.
Yeah, you can turn and watch
Suggests someone observing a change or transition.
(Are we kicking now?)
Asking if something is now starting or becoming active.
When I'm standing so still
Feeling motionless or stationary.
You think I just froze away
Perception of being frozen or motionless despite external appearances.
Smashing ice in my blood red face
Metaphorical description of facing harsh conditions, possibly emotionally.
High school was gnarly
Reflecting on a challenging or difficult period in high school.
But I think we would've fell right off
Speculating about potential failure if certain circumstances had been different.
(One man two sharks)
Imagery involving danger or threat represented by sharks and an individual.
My eyes are salty
Describing tears or a feeling of sadness.
My skin got up and shreds away
Suggesting vulnerability, feeling exposed, or emotionally torn.
Pint of blood to mark my place
Symbolic reference to leaving a mark or a significant sacrifice.
I won't say I wasn't warned
Acknowledging a prior warning or foreknowledge of a situation.
The ice is left for me
Indicating something difficult or challenging left for the speaker to deal with.
Six thousand teeth deep
Imagery of danger or threat represented by numerous teeth.
A lunge and falling through the air
Describing a sudden fall or descent.
That's a two for one deal
Suggesting an unexpected or advantageous situation, possibly implying a risky bargain.
Might be time for a change of pace
Considering a change or shift in circumstances.
