Condemned Vessel
Condemned Vessel: Navigating Betrayal Amidst Tempestuous Seas
Lyrics
Nobody missed the condemned vessel
Nobody noticed or cared about the condemned vessel.
As it drifted off to sea
The vessel drifted away into the sea.
And I could practically see your face
The speaker imagines seeing the face of someone disappearing from their life.
As you disappeared from me
The person swore it was a coincidence.
You swore it was coincidence
The speaker was lost in a confusing situation.
I was lost in such a way
The coordinates (latitude and longitude) led everyone astray.
The latitude and longitude
---
Has lead us all astray
-Perhaps a hallucination
Maybe a hallucination that only the speaker sees.
No one else can see
No one else can perceive the mark of the person's intention.
The mark of your intention
The intention led them out to sea.
Sent us out to sea
The brig (ship's jail) was heading to the port.
The brig was bound to the port
The flag was raised, but the ship fell into the depths.
The flag was raised to sail
---
Fell into the depths
-Within this murky veil
-Between Scylla and Charibdis
Caught between two dangerous situations.
We are bolted to the sea
We are stuck at sea.
Lost in mortal struggle
Lost in a mortal struggle amidst debris.
Adrift in mass debris
---
You spit upon my name as
The person disrespects the speaker as they sink to the ocean floor.
I sink to the ocean floor
---
My bashed and broken spirit
The spirit is damaged but won't haunt the person anymore.
Will not haunt you anymore
---
This act of amputation
An act of cutting ties has affected the speaker's life.
Has cut into my life
---
The image of your treachery
The image of betrayal is imprinted on the speaker's eyes.
Implanted on my eyes
---
The look upon your face
-As you fired all guns wide
The person looks a certain way while causing destruction.
Devoured by the wreckage
Devoured by the wreckage amid a lifeless tide.
Against the lifeless tide
---
There's nothing that'll stop us now
There's nothing that can prevent the speaker now.
Not even the perfect storm
Even the worst circumstances won't stop the speaker.
The typhoons and the hurricanes
Extreme weather conditions are strangely attractive.
Provide a grim allure
---
Aspirations of my demise
The person's desire for the speaker's downfall fuels their rage.
Has fueled vindictive rage
---
All the while your tainted thoughts
The person's corrupt thoughts imprison them.
Have put you in a cage
---
This self assassination
The person's self-destructive actions affect their own life.
Has cut into your life
---
And though your heart is taken
Despite being taken, the person's heart still follows the tide.
It still flows with the tide
---
Waves that break along the shore tell all of what you know
Waves breaking along the shore reveal the person's secrets.
Remora on your conscience wherever you may go
The person carries the burden of guilt wherever they go.
