Originally, playing covers of Norma Jean songs and having gone through many different band members, most of them attending Dante Alighieri Catholic Secondary, including lead vocalist, Angelo Aita and keyboardist, Sebastian Cassisi-Nunez and their first bassist Francesco Pallota, they eventually toured and opened for many post-hardcore bands such as Silverstein. They quickly became popular on the Internet through MySpace, and were noticed even more after their appearance on the Much Music program Disband. The band was originally conceived as "Abandon Ship" but found the name already in use by an Oregon-based band and Scottish novelty band "A Band on Ship". In early 2006 the band changed their name to "Abandon All Ships", retaining the imperative mood of the original name but allowing them to market themselves distinctively. They broke up in 2014 and reformed in 2016 with a single entitled Loafting.

Band lineup includes 6 members:

Angelo Aita – unclean vocals (2006–2014, 2016-Present)

Miracle
Abandon All Ships Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love was meant to be durable
But now my broken heart's incurable
To her I feel so invincible
I need a miracle

Walk away and know you're never alone
Your lips speak the words to my heart are unknown
You think you own me step down from your throne

Is this how it ends? Your true colours have shown

I search for the good in your lies
How can I compromise
The feelings I keep down inside

And I don't know why
I feel so alive
I made up my mind
It's time
This is goodbye

Love was meant to be durable

And I don't know why
I feel so alive
This is goodbye

Love was meant to be durable
But now my broken hearts incurable

To her I feel so invincible
I need a miracle
