Stand Ashore
George Ellias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And bring in the goods.
Give us all eyes
That see what they should.
People band together
And for storm in weather beware.
All the raging thunder will come
And the meaning of right
Will be well understood
When that old seed of evil
Gets washed up good.
Follow down the line,
There is no need
For a break in order
Everyone will get their time
Then bottom the anchor
Unset the sail!
People stand ashore!
And watch evil get washed some more!
And the meaning of right
Will be well understood
When that old seed of evil
Gets washed up good.
And the meaning of right
Will be well understood
When that old seed of evil
Gets washed up good.

The lyrics of George Ellias's song "Stand Ashore" convey the idea of standing up against evil and injustice. The first two lines of the song, "Bring in the riches, And bring in the goods," can be interpreted as a call to gather wealth and resources in preparation for the struggle against evil. However, the most striking line in this song is "And the meaning of right will be well understood when that old seed of evil gets washed up good". This implies that good will triumph over evil and that justice will ultimately prevail.
The song invokes the image of weathering a storm, with "people band(ing) together" and facing "all the raging thunder" that will "come crashing in the air". This can be interpreted as an encouragement not to give up in the face of adversity and to fight for what is right. The chorus of the song "People stand ashore! And watch evil get washed some more!" can be seen as a triumphant moment where those who stand for what is right are able to witness the downfall of evil. Overall, the song is an exhortation to stay the course and to continue the fight for justice.
