Lost at Sea (demo)
from Lost at Sea EP by Magnificent Defeat
about
I never want to tell people what a song is or what it means, because I think that is up for the listener to decide. I know what this song means for me, and I don't want to spoil it with words.
lyrics
Ghosts hide in walls. In the filthy hidden thoughts.
How foolish, to think they'd simply float way. / Like a ship in a bottle out in the open I'm lost at sea. These sails are set, wondering how to catch wind. I'm lost at sea. / "All hands on deck," at the captain's call. But no one came and it won't be the last time. The last time / Ghosts made the glass. This enclosure's holding fast. Both port and starboard, can't break free. I'm trapped / I fly the flag of a stagnant movement and as long as I'm at the helm it will stay this way. /Oh no, no I'm lost at sea, and until I break this glass so I'll be. And it won't be the last time. / I fly the flag as one who has lost his way. I couldn't break this glass if I tried. Until I fly the flag of the one who came and died. Captain of captains, set me free. Take back your ship, so undeserving. And I'll fly the flag I've so long forgotten. This is the resolution, this is our revolution. / So fly your flag like this is the last time sailing the open ocean.
