Titanic
Abel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw the ice break on the bow and rip our hopes to pieces
It wasn't till the final hour we sank to our knees and cried out

Oh can You save us now?
What will we become when the water hits our lungs?
Can You save us now?
What will we become?
I saw the water, black and cold, and I heard the Lord and he said,
"I put the air inside your lungs, I keep your cold heart beating"

Oh can You save us now?
What will we become when the water hits our lungs?
Can You save us now?
What will we become?

So don't believe a single word
Cause we are praised more than we deserve

Oh can You save us now?
What will we become when the water hits our lungs?
Can You save us now?
What will we become?

Oh can You save us now?
What will we become when the water hits our lungs?




Can You save us now?
What will we become?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Abel's song Titanic depict a dramatic scene of a ship sinking, and the desperate cries for salvation from those on board. The first verse describes the devastating moment when the ice breaks the ship and destroys their hopes. It wasn't until the very end, the final hour, that they finally realize the gravity of their situation and fall to their knees, weeping for salvation. The chorus emphasizes this plea for help, asking if they can be saved from their impending doom, and what fate awaits them if they cannot be saved.


In the second verse, the singer describes the water as "black and cold", painting an even darker picture of their fate. But then he recalls hearing the Lord's voice, who reminds him that it is He who gave them life and breath, and can still keep their hearts beating. The final verse, however, takes a more cynical tone, warning against believing in false promises and inflated praise, and again returning to the chorus's repeated plea for salvation.


Overall, the lyrics of Titanic evoke a sense of fear and desperation, but also remind listeners of the power of faith in the face of tragedy.

True eastern heavy metal/thrash 👍. Need this one on the vinyl format by Opus.

@romanpenkala2259

Túto skvelú kazetu sme počúvali na začiatku 90-tých rokov na intráku. O to väčšie bolo sklamanie z ich koncertu v Blave, kde im predkapelu robil Money Factor.
