Captain
Maggie Walters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the lines are frozen
Turn the world into an ocean

You
You will be my captain

The system has been broken
All the doors are flying open

You
You
You will be my only reason
You will be my getting even

You will be my engine
Be my guilt and my religion
You

Your estimated velocity
I don't care I just wanna run away with you
Your rocket ship technology




I don't care I just wanna run
Run away with you

Overall Meaning

In the song "Captain" by Maggie Walters, the lyrics bring across a powerful message of hope and faith in a time when the world seems to be falling apart. The opening lines of the song "All the lines are frozen, turn the world into an ocean" depict a world that is at a standstill, where everything seems to have come to a halt. The following line "You, you will be my captain" introduces the idea of finding someone to guide us through these difficult times.


As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the world as we know it has been broken and the doors are flying open, bringing a new opportunity for hope and resilience. The repetition of "you" in the following lines, "You will be my only reason, you will be my getting even, you will be my engine, be my guilt and my religion" emphasizes the importance of finding someone to rely on during these challenging moments.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of wanting to escape with this person, regardless of anything else. It speaks to an almost childlike desire to simply run away with someone we trust and who supports us. The final lines of the song "Your rocket ship technology, I don't care I just wanna run, run away with you" suggest that what is important is not the means of escape but rather the person we are escaping with.
