Sunken Ship
Moon Hooch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for someone to swim by me
sometimes I think that I'm that broken bone
causing the pain that you hide
sometimes I wanna be a grain of sand
under your feet by the ocean
why can't I hold onto that endless love
that I feel when I'm with you
Sometimes It feels like yesterday's
going to waste
going to waste
it's hard to tell you I'm okay
Sometimes It feels like everyday's
going to waste
going to waste
it's hard to find the words to say
Sometimes I feel like I'm a Sunken Ship
Waiting for someone to swim by me
sometimes I think that I'm that broken bone
causing the pain that you hide
Sometimes It feels like yesterday's
going to waste
going to waste
it's hard to tell you I'm okay
Sometimes It feels like everyday's
going to waste
going to waste
it's hard to find the words to say
In the song "Sunken Ship" by Moon Hooch, the lyrics convey a feeling of loneliness and inadequacy. The singer describes feeling like a sunken ship waiting for someone to save them, representing the belief that they are not enough on their own. They also express the thought that they may be causing pain to others, highlighting their own self-doubt and lack of self-worth. The chorus repeats the idea that time is slipping away and it's difficult to express how they truly feel.
The singer then shifts to a desire to be a grain of sand under someone's feet by the ocean, a nod to the idea of being content with a small role in someone's life. They question why they can't hold onto the endless love they feel when they are with someone, suggesting that their insecurity is holding them back. Ultimately, the song represents the struggle of feeling like one's own presence isn't enough and the fear of wasting time and opportunities.

Sounds like a modern Morphine, with especially with the vocals. Cure for Pain is a pretty good album of theirs. Enjoying the tunes, Moon Hooch!
