Dive
Shipwreck A.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a plane tonight and I'm really scared
Alone in bed staring at my ceiling fan
While I think of you, wishing it was a dream instead
Take a deep dive to my heart, yeah
Walk a couple miles in the dark, yeah
Paint my pain, I'm Picasso with the art, yeah
Said you wanna talk, I don't really wanna talk, yeah
With images of you in my head like you're tatted on my eyelids
Can't deny it
That I'm in love with you but I'm doing my best to hide it
Cause I'm not the same man that I am when alone
No service in my head, I can't answer the phone
There's just some things that I can't let you know
Never give you a chance to get to close
But hold me close, never let me go
And if you go just kill me slow
Morning arrives and you have to get
On a plane tonight and I'm really scared
(I'm really scared)
Alone in bed staring at my ceiling fan
While I think of you, wishing it was a dream instead
(A dream instead)
Take a deep dive to my heart
Tell me what you see so far
And you don't gotta go that far
If you really wanna see these scars
Broken in pieces I didn't want you to see this, no
Broken and bleeding and I don't think you can treat this (nooooo)
Tell me that you love me but in my mind you don't love me at all
Tell me that you want me but in my mind you don't want me at all
Take a deep dive to my heart and you finally arrived at the door
Open it up to find out my heart's not beating anymore
The lyrics of Shipwreck A.D.'s song Dive are about unrequited love and the fear of rejection. The singer is lying in bed alone and scared, thinking about the person he loves and wishing it was all just a dream. He asks the person to take a deep dive into his heart and see the pain and scars he has from previous experiences, but he also admits that he doesn't want to talk about it. He's in love, but he can't let the other person get too close, because he's afraid of getting hurt again. He says that he's not the same man he is when he's alone, and there are some things he can't let the other person know about him. He finishes by saying that if the other person leaves, to kill him slowly.
The song is an expression of the fear of rejection that many people have. The singer is in love with someone, but he's afraid to let them know how he feels because he doesn't want to get hurt. He wants the other person to understand him, but at the same time, he's not willing to reveal everything about himself. This is a common experience for many people in relationships, and the song captures the emotions and feelings that come with it.

@Cris Actually, it's worth pointing out that a lot of people develop colloquialisms and "inside" proverbs about things like that... It's usually not something so widely known unless it's a pretty big and high profile situation, but analogies will be made for months after an unseemly event or bit of irony...
Some make the cut to enter the language of proverbs, and some don't, for whatever reasons. A "Pyrrhic Victory" is a technical win on the battlefield that's destroyed everything that was fought for and at the expense of most of the lives of the victorious army... It's so named for a Roman General who vowed to win a battle at any cost, and followed right through to cost more than anything the victory could've been worth...
"Orwellian" refers to George Orwell, and is a political sentiment toward leadership or governance that seemingly relates to "Animal Farm" most often, but some of his other works generally...
Anything "Lovecraftian" refers to H.P. Lovecraft, or one of the derivative publications or media references over the years, as if it mimics the writing style as such...
Some of these things are insulting, like calling someone a "Niimrod", and some aren't so much, or (depending on perspective) can even be congratulatory... Italians don't even have a monopoly about whole phrases, though in conventional language, it usually gets pared down over time to just a simple term of reference, and meaning is either assumed "popular knowledge" or can be ascertained by context... Some of the origins are just a bit more obscure, depending on the origins and how far they've traveled or mutated is all...
We might (if it makes the cut) just say, "He Andrea Dorea'ed himself, didn't he." give or take a few decades... Languages are living, growing, and changing things... It's kind of cool, even fascinating how terms get traded around even without a whole lot of contextual knowledge and can change a LOT... I think the way distant and ancient vocabularies (like Latin) can have SO MUCH influence on English and most of Europe's terminologies... Even while so many claim it "dead"... ;o)

Um, have you seen the titanic?
It rots away.
What is saved? What is preserved?
Private collections hate?
Perhaps the museums should conserve themselves if these rotting treasures should be saved.
It's not a pirate operation. It's sharing relics no one else can even get to.
It's easy to be judgemental these days.

I liked the tone of your narration, objective, reasoned and factual. Subscribed.
Egotism and avarice are strong motivators in some people, and this certainly appears to have been the case with divers trying to loot the gravesite of the victims of the disaster.
No plates, dishes and cups are worth dying for, and irresponsible of how much a diver might want to brag about their epic dives and the loot they recovered, it isn't worth dying to achieve.
Every dive should be carried out with the same care and attentiveness as one's first, because it doesn't matter how experienced you may believe yourself to be, each entry into the water is a whole new world of possibilities for things to challenge your survival.
These divers did the Pilot's equivalent of scud running, and like so many, they killed themselves.
Each man had the rest of their lives to revisit the wreck, but they forced themselves into a tunnel of time that they dived deeper into.
The dishes aren't going anyplace fast, there's thousands of them in the wreck, there's no hurry, other thsn the divers self imposed.
Had they actually checked their equipment and then had it checked by others, just for verification, and created and adhered to a dive plan that allowed them sufficient time to decompress and to reach the surface nice and healthy, they'd still be alive.
There are no new ways to die whilst diving, so divers simply repeat the known ones repeatedly.
In time, more divers may die going to this wreck than were killed in the actual disaster that sank it ...

I was one of the 3 Captains aboard the Seeker on the trip when Vince Napoliello was lost. Capt. Dan and John were diving when Vince surfaced near the "Sea Inn". Aboard the Seeker we were unsure if the diver was one of ours or theirs. Due to everyone on the Sea Inn performing life saving efforts, I contacted the Coast Guard and requested a helicopter evacuation which took about 75 minutes to arrive. Shortly after we discovered he was our passenger. A dark day . . . it was also the 3rd diver fatality for us that year. The following year 2 more divers died . . . one was a Seeker crew member. Thanks for the video. Having been part the Seeker operation, the information in the video was correct.

Amazing. Sorry for your losses.
Matthew Byrd
And, you and your team allowed divers to dive alone?!
Gary Szabo
@Matthew Byrd Obviously you're not a Northeast wreck diver where solo diving is common despite the depths and risks . . . It is what it is. We were just a charter operation . . . just the bus driver. It was up to each individual on how you chose to dive. If you're a recreational diver or a diver at all, you may find this hard to digest, but this type of technical diving operated differently in many ways.
Rick Peterson
@Gary Szabo Im not a diver in any way lol ! But i respect your pov ! Obviously it's a terrible experience to lose clients/divers/ etc ! Especially divers who've you've had as guests on your vessel, and surely have some level of familiarity, so its not a good feeling im sure ! Thanks for commenting about these experiences and what it was like ! To close , imo, whenever we do things that risk our lives , or are possibly deadly , WE MUST ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS!! Sorry for the losses and may all the families and friends find comfort in at least knowing they died doing what they loved!

@Gary Szabo Sorry man. That's rough. I remember that year, I was training for divemaster cert. Seeker got some negative media but that waned. Never got tech certified. I stuck to spear fishing and non tech wrecks like San Diego and Lizzie D. Got too spooked from the summer '98 deaths and others. I do understand that it is safe using correct training guidelines.

As an ex diver and instructor at the British Army Diving School it amazes me that divers go solo or do not use a buddy system when diving this deep. The Deep really doesn't care how much experience or knowledge you have it can kill regardless. First thing we learned as recruit divers was that it is dangerous. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess producing fatal overconfidence in ones abilities to be able to overcome the hostile environment. Thankfully, none of the rescue attempts ended in further tragic fatalities.

I solo have gone diving. But I wouldn't do it on a tech dive. That's just silly! (at my age now, I wouldn't anymore). When I solo dived, I had two scissors that can cut through mono filament and two knives. Two independent air supplies. (pony or doubles that can be isolates). And I never did it in a current and only from shore on shallow dives requiring no deco and no safety stop needed in an emergency. I also would never go near any nets (there were a lot on the bottom). One guy went on a solo dive to remove a heavy rope net off a small sunken boat at 30 feet. He got so entangled that he finally abandoned his gear. They found him with one strand of rope from the net stuck on his fin 7 feet from the surface. So he almost made it but got stopped by the one piece of rope with no scuba. What a horrible way to go.

Curious, at such depths, why don't they just leave a few emergency oxygen tanks at the wreck, maybe a couple at Gimble's cut hole?

I read a book of Robert Kurson "Shadow Divers" about people who discovered a German submarine on the US coast and he said the divers on the AD dived alone because the depth at the time would give the divers nitrogen narcosis. So much so that when a diver got into trouble he would go into panic mode and attack any other diver trying to help. The buddy system would be useless.
