Sharks
Navigating Depths: A Tale of Sharks, Moon, and Firmament
Lyrics
Sharks don't attack the Irish,
Sharks don't target the Irish; there's a focus on Australians.
It's mostly Australians.
Australians are the primary subjects of shark attacks.
There's nothing accomplished
No significant achievements result from the actions of these struggling individuals.
By these splashing citizens.
No positive outcomes from the efforts of these citizens who are in distress.
From the Moon down to the surface
From the Moon to the depths of the Mariana's Trench.
Of the Mariana's Trench
Refers to the vast range of experiences, possibly emphasizing extremes.
I won't send you in a cab when
The speaker prefers to personally accompany instead of sending someone in a cab.
I can take you there myself then steal a look
Suggests a desire to be close and attentive to the other person.
Over your shoulder at
The speaker is curious about the distant lights in the other person's life.
The distant lights of your firmament.
Reflects on observing the broader aspects of the other person's existence.
When the sharks finished the Irish
Continues the metaphorical narrative about sharks, now involving the Irish and people from Berlin.
And those people from Berlin.
Highlights a broader set of people affected by the metaphorical sharks.
We left our look of the landed
The observer remains vigilant and ready for a rescue mission.
With one of rescue's imminent
Imminent rescue for those in need.
From the Moon down to the surface
Repeats the earlier imagery of the Moon and the Mariana's Trench.
Of the Mariana's Trench
Reiterates the speaker's preference for personal involvement rather than delegation.
I won't send you in a cab when
Similar to Line #7, emphasizing personal commitment.
I can take you there myself then steal a look
Reaffirms the speaker's desire to accompany and observe.
Over your shoulder at
Reiterates the curiosity about the distant lights in the other person's life.
The chandeliers of your firmament.
Shifts focus to the chandeliers, possibly symbolizing the grandeur of the other person's world.
It's your firmament, baby.
Emphasizes that the observed world is the other person's realm or domain.
