The Sea
Boo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was about this time, about this time, that the sun reached his navel
The sun reached his navel, yeah
It was about this time, that the sun reached his navel
This was the monkey talking now, monkey talking now
Been on this ship for so long
Decided to join to the crew and teach 'em what to do
Teach 'em what to do
The monkey said to the cat, another hour and the sun will roast his hat
Yeah, just another hour and the sun will roast his hat, yeah
Just another hour and the sun will roast his hat
Captain's gonna go crazy, bouncing around like a baby
Been at sea so long, crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong

Now the captain turned to the monkey and cat
And said, let me put you straight about that
Crazy is the place you wanna be, when you're all at sea
Yeah, crazy is the place you wanna be, when you're all at sea, now

The monkey said to the cat, another hour and the sun will roast his hat
Yeah, just another hour and the sun will roast his hat, yeah
Just another hour and the sun will roast his hat
Captain's gonna go crazy, bouncing around like a baby
Been at sea so long, crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong

Captain's going go crazy, bouncing around like a baby
Been at sea so long, crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong

Crazy gonna come, come on, come on, strong
Crazy gonna come, come on strong




Crazy gonna come, come on strong
Crazy, oh, crazy. All at sea. All at sea

Overall Meaning

The song "The Sea" by Boo features a conversation between the monkey and the cat on a ship, where they discuss the effects of the sun's heat on the captain. The monkey warns the cat that the sun will soon roast the captain's hat due to its intensity, which will eventually cause the captain to lose his sanity. The captain, however, tells them that going crazy in the sea is the right thing to do as being lost at sea without any hope of survival can drive anyone to madness. Ultimately, the song is a fascinating portrayal of the effects of isolation, boredom, and extreme weather conditions on the minds of sailors.


The lyrics are not only representative of the impact of physical environment and the extreme conditions of a long sea voyage, but they also explore the effect of these conditions on the minds of people. The captain's response suggests that it's essential to acknowledge the symptoms of madness and go through them to achieve a level of clarity.


"The Sea" is an interesting take on the subject matter, informed by an insightful understanding of how people feel overwhelmed by their life's circumstances, as well as the benefits of approaching these feelings head-on, regardless of their impact.
