Parade
Hy-Five Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the penitents used to live
There's a crack in the hull
Where the Penitents used to live
And we can make it right if we row all night
Give all that we can give
There's a crack in the hull
There's a leak in the hold
Where the infantry used to sleep
There's a leak in the hold
Where the Infantry used to sleep
And we can make it right if we roll all night
Baby dust off your knees
There's a leak in the hold
Where the infantry used to be
Little monsters (on the table)
Crazies here to play
Little monsters in the boat parade
There's a hole in the hat
Where the captain kept his dreams
There's a hole in the hat
Where the Captain kept his dreams
And we can make it right
If we sail all night
Better pray for a breeze
There's a hole in the hat
Where the captain used to be
The lyrics in Hy-Five's song "PARADE" depict a deteriorating situation on a ship or boat where various elements that once symbolized hope or order are now broken. The repeated lines about cracks in the hull where the penitents used to live and a leak in the hold where the infantry used to sleep suggest a loss of stability and a disintegration of the system that once governed the ship. The use of the terms "penitents" and "infantry" implies that these were once disciplined and organized groups who are now no longer present in their designated spaces.
The chorus emphasizes the possibility of restoring things to their former state if the crew exerts an extraordinary effort. Whether it is through rowing all night or rolling all night, begging for a breeze or dusting off their knees, the characters in the song seem willing to do whatever it takes to fix the ship. However, it is also suggested that merely working hard may not be enough, as the leak in the hold appears to be where the infantry used to be.
The final verse introduces the idea of a hole in the captain's hat, where he had kept his dreams. This could symbolize a loss of leadership or vision, further contributing to the ship's deteriorating condition. Despite the challenges and broken aspects, the song still carries a sense of determination and a belief that with sustained effort and perhaps a stroke of luck, they may be able to salvage the situation.
