Promise
Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broke my promise, baby
Sailed that ship in the yard
Well, it's hard
Snuck her in through the back
What's your name?
Where's the cash?
Well, that's that
Sailed that ship in the yard
Well, it's hard
Snuck her in through the back
What's your name?
Where's the cash?
Well, that's that
The lyrics to Alex's song 'Promise' seem to be about a person who is reflecting on a promise that they have broken. The line "Broke my promise, baby" suggests that they have disappointed somebody, most likely a significant other. The line "Sailed that ship in the yard" could be symbolic of the promise, in that it was something grand that was promised but ultimately not delivered.
The next line "Well, it's hard" indicates that the person may be struggling with the guilt or consequence of not keeping their promise. The line "Snuck her in through the back" may suggest that the person did something sneaky or dishonest in order to make up for their broken promise. The following lines "What's your name? Where's the cash? Well, that's that" could be interpreted in a number of ways, but could suggest that the person is trying to bribe or pay off somebody in order to make things right.
Line by Line Meaning
Broke my promise, baby
I failed to keep my word to you, my dear
Sailed that ship in the yard
I acted recklessly and caused trouble
Well, it's hard
I acknowledge that this situation is difficult
Snuck her in through the back
I secretively brought someone into our home
What's your name?
I do not know who this person is
Where's the cash?
I am questioning the whereabouts of money
Well, that's that
The situation has come to an end and cannot be changed

@scottm3860
Unsure if she's quite at home in the world or utterly lost -- I'll watch it again and see if it's just the way I perceive it. I love the shot of the boots on the escalator. Great music!
