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 ↴
Slam another door
Third class substitutes, you
Are not welcome any more
If I leave this world today
I do it for protection
For shelter
You will understand
You will understand
Eventually
The lyrics to Seabound's "Separation" come from a place of wanting to cut ties with someone completely. The singer is so fed up with this person that they want to slam the door shut and never see them again. The mention of "third-class substitutes" implies that this person is not up to par with the singer's standards, and has been deemed not worthy to be a part of their life any longer.
Additionally, the lyrics touch on the notion of leaving this world, however, not in a suicidal sense but as a way of protecting the person this song is referring to. The singer seems to acknowledge that they may be a danger to this person in some way and the only way to protect them is to remove themselves from the equation. While it may be a hard decision for the singer to make, they believe that this is what's best for everyone involved.
Overall, the lyrics speak to a deep sense of frustration with someone who has not met the singer's expectations and the desire to move on from that person completely. It also touches on the idea of self-sacrifice as a way of protecting someone from potential harm.
