Shipwrecked
Caroline Glaser Lyrics

The boat starts rocking as the sea goes blue to grey
The boat begins to sway violently as the clear blue sea turns into a dull grey color

The whole crew sinking, I'm flying away
As the crew sinks, the singer finds themself escaping or soaring away from the situation

I'll pray to the Heavens and The Pearly Gates
The singer will make a plea to heaven or any higher being to intervene and help in the situation

To save this dark from a dying day
The plea is to save this moment or period of darkness from ending in a tragic or fatal manner

Oh, don't make me follow you down
The artist pleads against an action that might cause them to spiral into despair or failure

I'd pick up the pieces you've thrown
The singer acknowledges that they have been affected by someone's actions negatively but tries to salvage the situation anyway

We're a bond that can't break, a ship that won't sink
The relationship between the singer and another person is strong and cannot fall apart - like a strong, unsinkable ship

My body goes weak when I think of that night
The artist experiences a physical reaction when they reflect back on a particular night

Your heads in your hands
The other person is struggling or troubled and feeling dejected

Mind on the light
The other person is preoccupied with hope or a brighter future despite their present situation

I'd carry that weight 'til the day that I die
The singer is willing to bear the burden of the person's troubles for the rest of their life

So I say this five times before I close my eyes
The artist repeats a statement five times, possibly symbolizing their determination or commitment to that idea

Don't make me speak through the sky
The singer is afraid to communicate or express themselves through an ethereal or obscure means

You're my blood, you're my light, you're my guide
The other person is extremely important to the singer, acting like family, a source of illumination or clarity, and a guide or counselor

I don't know what I'd make of that life
The singer is uncertain of what their life would look like without the other person or if something were to change drastically

I'd follow you down
Despite the artist's hesitations or fears, they express their devotion or loyalty and would follow the other person anywhere
