Castaways
The Backyardigans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways
We're stuck where we are with no house, no car
Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways
We were out at sea on a sailing ship
The rain began to rain and the wind began to whip
We felt the ship tip, it was going down
So we launched our lifeboat so we wouldn't drown
Castaways, we are castaways
Ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways
On an island at sea
Just me
Me
And me!
Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways
The Backyardigans's song "Castaways" tells the story of a group of individuals who have been shipwrecked on an island. The opening lines of the song, "Castaways, we are castaways, Ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways," set the scene for the rest of the song. The lyrics paint a picture of a group of people who are stuck in a difficult situation with no immediate way to save themselves.
The second verse of "Castaways" goes on to describe how the group ended up in their predicament. They were out at sea on a sailing ship when the storm hit. The ship began to tip, and they quickly launched their lifeboat to avoid drowning. Eventually, the group washes ashore and finds themselves stranded on a deserted island.
The refrain of "Castaways" repeats the word "ahoy" several times, which is a term used to hail another ship or person at sea. The use of this word is likely intended to make the listener feel as though they are part of the adventure, and to help them imagine what it would be like to be stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere.
Overall, "Castaways" is a fun, upbeat song that tells an interesting story. The catchy melody and repetitive refrain make it easy to sing along and the lyrics help to create a vivid mental image of the situation that the characters are in.

Castaways, we are castaways
We are stranded on an island, without civilization or any communication
Ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways
Calling out for help to no avail, we are stuck here with limited resources
We're stuck where we are with no house, no car
We are stranded without basic necessities, such as shelter and transportation
Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways
Still stranded and hopeless, we are trying to find a way to escape this island
We were out at sea on a sailing ship
We were on a journey, traveling across the sea
The rain began to rain and the wind began to whip
A violent storm hit, endangering our lives and ship
We felt the ship tip, it was going down
We realized the ship was sinking and we had to think quick
So we launched our lifeboat so we wouldn't drown
We had no choice but to leave the sinking ship to save ourselves
On an island at sea
We washed up on an isolated island with no way to leave
Just me
We are completely alone and isolated here
Me
Only ourselves to rely on for survival
And me!
We have no one else but ourselves to face this harsh reality

Lyrics:
Passed away
You have passed away
Good luck there
Good luck
You have passed away
We'll watch where we are
Hope you're well so far
Passed away
Good luck
You have passed away
You are resting free, ohh floating swift
The tears began to rain, and the mood began to dip
The soil the coffin hit, dirt pouring down
So we remembered your smile, so we wouldn't drown
Passed away
You have passed away
Good luck there
Good luck
You have passed away
In this life we'll stay
Till our final day
Passed away
Good luck
You have passed away...
