Sail
Jack Trammell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I made it in my mind because
Blame it on my ADD baby
This is how an angel dies
Blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my ADD baby
Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail
Maybe I should kill myself (myself)
Blame it on my ADD baby
Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my ADD baby
Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Sail, sail
Sail, sail
Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail
The lyrics to "Sail" by Jack Trammell appear to detail a sense of helplessness and frustration due to the individual's perception that their attention deficit disorder (ADD) is influencing their behavior and causing them to fail. The repeated refrain of "this is how I show my love" suggests that the individual's impulsive or inattentive behavior may be driving others away, leading them to feel isolated and self-blaming. The line "this is how an angel dies" further emphasizes the sense of mortality and fragility that the individual may be feeling.
The second half of the verse shifts from self-blame to externalizing the problem, with the individual blaming their "sick pride" and ADD for their struggles. The chorus, which consists solely of the word "sail" repeated several times, could be interpreted as a plea for escape or release from the individual's struggles. The following verse continues with similar themes of self-doubt and the feeling of being out of control, with the line "maybe I should kill myself" suggesting the individual may be experiencing suicidal ideations.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sail" convey a sense of desperation, isolation, and frustration, reflecting the struggles that some individuals may experience as a result of their ADD or other mental health concerns.

The specially selected group of fighters marched toward the heavily fortified enemy base, knowing that, even with their flamethrowers, they were outnumbered and outgunned.
They didn't care.
The General fired the first flame on the guards standing on the wall at the front who so graciously let the party with no chance at winning approach. As those defenders died, the rest of the platoon let the flames pour out of their weapons, engulfing the fortress and its occupants in a wave of fire.
The main gate was burnt down by the influx of fire, and the force stormed in. Taking out enemy after enemy, they slowly claimed the base, causing the incompetent retreating army to sail on their flames.
