The use and the balance of contradictions are an important trademark of Seabound. The songs range from cold, synthetic, sometimes harsh sounds to catchy, sometimes fragile melodies, merging day and night.
The lyrics deal with obsession, devotion, doubts, anger and fear. Yet there is always an underlying craving for fulfillment in the songs, a quest for love. Seabound combine vulnerability with anger, fantasies of power with fear. An ubiquitous theme of their songs is the challenge of confronting your deepest and most personal desires.
Their music is personal and honest, but blended with a lot of fantasy. They offer very personal insights into the psyche and they would like to take you on a strange emotional journey.
They also sing about the sea and boat-related things.

Seabound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be so stupid to believe
In what they say
Rest assured of that
They'll get you out of the way
Don't be so stupid to believe
In what you hear
They know no fear
How many sinners do you know like this?
Out of their minds
How many cowards do you know like this?
Out of their minds
No will to move
They'll get you
Out of the way
How many sinners do you know like this?
They'll get you
Out of the way
Rest assured of that
They'll get you out of the way
The lyrics to Seabound's song Coward speak about the danger of being too trusting and vulnerable in a world where people will do whatever it takes to get ahead. The chorus asks how many sinners and cowards the listener knows, implying that those two labels describe the same people-- those who are too afraid to take action or stand up for themselves. The repeated refrain that "they'll get you out of the way" reinforces this idea of being taken advantage of or pushed aside by those who are more cunning or ruthless.
The verses caution against believing everything that is heard, suggesting that there are those who will lie and manipulate to achieve their goals. The phrase "rest assured of that" could be seen as a sarcastic comment on the truthfulness of these individuals. The repetition of the line "out of their minds" also emphasizes the idea that these people may not be thinking clearly or acting rationally.
Overall, the song is a warning against naivety and a call to be more assertive and aware in order to protect oneself from those who would seek to exploit or harm.
