Finally
Skapa Flow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Skapa Flow's song "Finally" depict a character named Mary who works as a roommaid and provides customer service in a hotel. She is described as wearing white gloves and smiling even when she has had too much beer. The song then shifts to a reflection on Mary's loneliness and struggle to conform to societal expectations of following fashion, being smart, and simulating passion. The lyrics highlight the dichotomy between the world of beauty and pain that we navigate, likening our existence to fishes swimming in the rain. The repeated line "finally not all hopes will last, finally we future our past" suggests that despite the temporary nature of hope, we have the power to shape our own futures and learn from our past experiences.

My grandfather was a Chief Petty Officer in the Imperial German Navy during WWI and was part of the crew who scuttled his ship at Scapa Flow. One of his last duties was to remove the Imperial German Navy flag from the jackstaff at the stern of the ship prior to leaving the ship. We still have that flag and I feel honored to have such a piece of history. My grandfather was put into an internment camp and upon his release and repatriation to Germany was awarded an Iron Cross for his actions.

Interesting footnote, when NASA was wanting to go to the moon, they used steel from some of these sunken ships. The reason was The steel was of high quality and as it was manufactured before the first atomic bomb explosion it was not contaminated with radioactive elements. This was necessary due to the sensitivity of some instruments being manufactured

Yes, the High Seas fleet is the world's primary source of low-background steel.
