Amazing | Reviewer: Aj | 9/13/07

This is my favorite Brand new song and its because how deep it is. It makes you really think and most music these days doesnt do that. I would have to go back to Nirvana and smells like teen spirit to have a song with such meaning and have it be as deep. Me and my gf broke up after 3 and a half years and this song just fits it all together.

Amazing | Reviewer: AJ | 9/13/07

This has recently become my favorite song after I really focused on the lyrics and the meaning. Honestly you dont find songs that are this deep anymore, I havent seen a song this well written since Nirvana Smells like teen spirit. Me and my gf just broke up after almost 4 years and this song fits us perfectly and it gets me through the day. Also when he says "I spoke the words (after the storm) but never gave a thought to what they all could mean." I think he means that he broke up with the girl and he didnt expect that he would be the one missing her.

i'd like someone's input on this | Reviewer: -Jason H. | 9/6/07

"they call them rogues; they travel fast and alone-"
-i think what he may be talking about here is a rogue, a thief, as in a pirate or 'sea rogues' as they are sometimes called, that stole his loves affections. a fast thief that darted in and attacked the relationship as it began during a time of trial: four months at sea, four months of calm seas-meaning the beginning of the relationship, which was tranquil, peaceful-to be pounded in the shallows-an argument, a hard ship that they were going through, during which the thief stole her heart. <- ? tell me if someone agrees with my theory.

-altogether i think this song is about love, or a person he loved that led to a trial in which they broke apart, and before he could ask for forgiveness, or they could make amends, she was gone. separated by a 'funeral' her death...

this song is beautiful, and i love it. it really moves me. and i think these are the best lyrics i've ever seen put into music.

This is what i got from this song... | Reviewer: Mark F | 7/31/07

I DO believe this song is about a lover or a friendship.

The first verse seems to give a description of how dangerous a relationship can be and he compares it to sailing on the sea.

"What they call love is a risk, to always get hit out of nowhere
By some wave and end up on your own."

This quote seems to clue the listerener about this metephore between love and a ship.

"Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship, sends your words past your lips,
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you, come off-course while you sleep,
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef."

This verse has to do with a comparison of how the actions and words you share in a relationship can be compared to the direction the boat is sailed. If you lie or aren't true it'll strand you in a relationship of nothing or just crash or end.

Then the next verse is about his undying hope....

"To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and the rain."

Through all the hard times(sleet and rain) he can still have hope to reach that glorious out come he's looking toward(the light house, or feeling at home)

but in the end it just wont work...

"But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west."

Then this verse i'll add my thoughts in between [ ]'S

"(This is the end.)
This story's old, (this is the end) but it goes on and on until we disappear.[they keep having this problem of falling apart but they'll still love eachother until finally it just ends]
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me (this is the calm) taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath.[i'm not sure but it seems like he's saying like let me know it'll be ok]
(We are the resin)
i am the one (we are the resin) who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea.[something so beautiful as love can die as well]
(After the storm.)
I spoke the words (after the storm) but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.[never knew what he was really saying when he said i love you]
(Rest here with thee,)
i know that this (rest in the deep) is what you want.[deep down he knows it whats she wants even if it's what "her head is telling her and not her heart"]
(Washed up on the beach.)
A funeral keeps both of us apart.[if this lvoe dies we can finally be apart and at rest]
You know (washed up on the beach.) that you are not alone.[i'm still always there for you]
I need you like water in my lungs."[but i just can't live with you, hence the metephore of sailing he's gunna drowned if he keeps her in his life]

I`m the answer after the sunk | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/24/07

when i first listened the song i thought it was just a good soundtrack for "The Perfect Storm". Having listened it more times i felt it was really so deep and so great. It still have this Brand New obssesive relationship theme around but at the same time it can be told in a different and mature way: the lost of a friend or a loved one in the ocean and the sadness thoughts about life and death. A great anticipe for "Jesus Christ"

I'll never fully understand this song. | Reviewer: A Rogue Wave | 7/21/07

Since reviewer "Matt" has said that the song is about a friend of Jesse's who died, the song makes more sense to me. the whole section:
"Your tongue is a rudder
....
dashed to bits on the reef."

is about how what you say will either save you or will shipwreck you and cause you to perish. "Your tongue is a rudder it steers the whole ship." he has said what will make him and his crew crash and at the same time, he has no one to save him. However, he has chosen this fate.
Later in the song he admits "I spoke the words (after the storm) but never gave a thought to what they all could mean." So he didn't think about what he was saying until after it was too late. So maybe... he never got to tell his friend what he wanted and so he feels he's failed, he's now shipwrecked and helpless, and can no longer tell his friend what he really wanted to say.
this song is not about a lover, but it is about the death of someone who he clearly loved.
The song is about regrets, and not being able to change what's been done or said; it's about wanting to be with someone who's unreachable, except through death.
"And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts,
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west."
He had so much more to do, but did not get to. Maybe he is relating to when you die and have not set everything the way you wanted to before you left. Or someone you loved died, but you had much more to say. you said something without even thinking, and they died, you can't go back and tell them--you're shipwrecked with no chance of being saved.

"i know that this (rest here with thee) is what you want.
(Washed up on the beach.)
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know (washed up on the beach.) that you are not alone.
i need you like water in my lungs.
(this is the end.)"

This is what his friend wants: for him to die too, so they can be together. a funeral keeps them apart: his friend's funeral. the friend is not alone, because he is drowning. "I need you like water in my lungs" He wants to die to be with his friend; therefore he needs the water to die; therefore, he needs this friend so badly that he is willing to die if it means seeing them again.

this song is so deep, it really touches me.
i'm sure my interpretation doesn't make sense half the time, but i figured i'd share it with people who love the song like i do.

Watery Lungs! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/07

My biological understanding is that you do actually need moisture (water) in the lining of your lungs for them to function effectively, i.e. gaseous exchange so i guess without moisture in your lungs it would be dangerous to your health (inefficient gaseous exchange consequences etc). Therefore maybe this girl (if its about love) or his friend (if its about a friend who died) is what keeps/kept him alive???

Just a thought anyway!! :)

water in my lungs | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/14/07

ok first he is saying let me taste the salt you breathe while you were underneath... and he also says that i know that you are not alone... and i need you like water in my lungs is saying he is going to drown himself too... oh and he says a funeral keeps both of us apart and that is his funeral because he is not dead yet...

fiction | Reviewer: fool | 6/30/07

This guy is a tool.
