Orphans Of The Storm
Flyte Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Orphans of the storm
Watch them sail between the waves
Orphans of the storm
Say a prayer to wish the rain away
Mother's milk and angel hair
Holy books and bones
The sirens on the shore
Calling them home

Breakfast on the lawn
In the sweet September sway
Helpless and fornlorn
Since the pills and powders passed their way
Lost themselves, forever seeking
Searching pole to pole
While the needle and the thread
Stitches them whole

Empty shells,
Only the shallow know themselves
Deeper and deeper, day by day
To keep the weary world at bay
No prescription for the pain
Only a sky of blue and grey
No one to save them,
Sailing their sinking ships up and away

We lost ourselves forever seeking
Searching pole to pole
While the neelde and the thread
Stitches us whole

Empty shells,
Only the shallow know themselves
Deeper and deeper, day by day
To keep the weary world at bay
Raise your mast and fly away
Into a sky of blue and grey
No one to save us
Sailing our sinking ships
Up and away

Sailing our sinking ships
Up

Overall Meaning

and away

The song 'Orphans of the Storm' by Flyte is a beautiful track that talks about the struggles of individuals who feel lost in the world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of people, who are like orphans, going through life, navigating the ups and downs of it all, alone. They are depicted as being helpless and vulnerable, with no one to guide them through the rough seas of life, which is symbolized by waves in the song.

The lyrics further illustrate the hopeless state of these individuals as they try to find their way amidst the chaos of the world. However, despite the pain and struggle, there is still a glimmer of hope. A hope for a better tomorrow, for clear skies, and for peace. Flyte encourages listeners to find hope and strength to continue sailing their ships, even though everything around them seems to be sinking.

In summary, 'Orphans of the Storm' is a poignant song that delves deep into the human condition. It encourages listeners to find hope and light amid the darkness of the world, no matter how challenging and overwhelming the journey may be.
