Lost And Found
Senses Fail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An ocean and my boat's too small
The waves are crashing in
And I can't save this sinking ship
I sent out signal flares
But no one out there seems to care
Now the voice inside my head
This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve
And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)
Twenty days at sea
My skin is blistered from the heat
I can beg and I can plead
What I get is never what I need
This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve
And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)
And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve
And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)
And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)
In "Lost and Found," Senses Fail creates a metaphor between being lost at sea and being lost in life. The singer is on a small boat that is struggling in a vast, overwhelming ocean. The boat can represent the singer's life, and the ocean can represent all of life's challenges and obstacles. The singer is struggling to keep the boat afloat, and is quickly realizing that they are not strong enough to do so alone. The use of the phrase "getting what I deserve" is particularly insightful, as it suggests that the singer has been responsible for their own predicament.
The singer sends out "signal flares," which can be interpreted as cries for help or attempts to reach out to others for support. Unfortunately, nobody seems to hear or care. The singer is left alone with their own thoughts and struggles. This isolation is also reinforced by the line "the voice inside my head is the only thing that I have left," indicating that the singer has turned inward and is grappling with their own thoughts and emotions.
The repetition of the lines "And now I'm lost at sea, I'm drowning in what I won't be, I'm haunted by the sound (sweet sound of my last breath)" emphasizes the singer's despair and hopelessness. The sweet sound of their last breath suggests that the singer has given up and is resigned to their fate.
Overall, Senses Fail's "Lost and Found" is a powerful song that deals with themes of isolation, despair, and struggling to navigate life's challenges. It encourages listeners to recognize when they need help and to seek support when they feel overwhelmed.
