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.

Smoke
Seabound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Addicted to your habits
We are distressed when
Youâ??re not around
Keep the fire burning
Keep the smoke coming
(Smoke)
Our days are wasted
If we don't receive your comfort
You cast a spell
You silence every sound
Brothers become enemies
Prepared for any felony
Craving for felicity
Ready for atrocity
You strike a match and you smile
And all I can do
Is smile together with you
You lace the wine with a single tear
You are the force I used to fear
The smell of gas is spreading
Yet all I can do
Is keep on smoking with you
Your eyes sparkle, you're sincere
You are the force I used to fear
Lost in reverie
I dream of sights I will never see
We are enchanted
By your need of protection
Soft and fragile
Sensitive ground
Keep the fire burning
Keep the smoke coming
(Smoke)
We are bewitched
By your deep understanding
And we will defend
The security we found
(You silence every sound)
Brothers become enemies
Ready for atrocity
You strike a match and you smile
And all I can do
Is smile together with you
You lace the wine with a single tear
You are the force I used to fear
The smell of gas is spreading
Yet all I can do
Is keep on burning for you
Your eyes sparkle, you're sincere
You are the force I used to fear
Lost in reverie
I dream of sights I will never see
I dream of words I will never hear
You are the force I used to fear
The lyrics to Seabound's song "Smoke" appear to be about addiction, specifically addiction to a person or relationship.
