Titanic
Snowpony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the Titanic was wrecked.
And it's all hands on deck,
Sinking to a deeper depth.
Crossing name off on my list
And I say luck has no place here.
Heading to a watery grave
Maybe if you behave yourself you'll have nothing to say.
Maybe if I behave myself then I'll be saved (saved, saved).
All hands on deck,
Sinking to a deeper debt.
And it's all hands on deck,
As the Titanic was wrecked.
All hands on deck,
Sinking deeper in debt.
Crossing names off on my list
And I say luck has nothing to do with it.
A drug raises the strain that bares my name,
And I know my luck stops here.
I'm stained by the fear of losing it,
I'm stained by the fear of losing.
I'm stained by the fear of losing,
It's time to sink or swim.
Sometimes, I wake in a dream
And I believe everything's okay.
Sometimes I wake up in reality,
I'm caught between the rent due and getting paid.
All hands on deck,
As the Titanic was wrecked.
All hands on deck,
Sinking deeper in debt.
Titanic.
Snowpony's "Titanic" is a somber song that depicts the tragic sinking of the Titanic from a different perspective. Instead of focusing on the passengers and crew on board, the lyrics explore the aftermath of the disaster. The song begins with the repeated phrase "All hands on deck," which is typically a call to action for the crew in emergency situations. However, in this case, it's a mournful reminder of the crew's fate as the ship sank to a deeper depth. The ominous tone is augmented by the reference to crossing off names on a list, emphasizing the grim reality that some people did not survive and were never paid.
The chorus repeating "sinking to a deeper debt" highlights the financial and emotional toll that the Titanic sinking took on those directly or indirectly involved. The lyrics suggest that luck has no place in this tragedy, further emphasizing the senselessness of it all. The second verse includes a reference to a drug that raises the strain, possibly alluding to the pressures of modern life that pushes individuals to their limits. This reality is perhaps encapsulated in the line "I'm stained by the fear of losing it," a powerful representation of the fear and instability that dominates the human psyche.
Overall, "Titanic" is a poignant song that explores the aftermath of a historical tragedy from a different perspective. Its sad tone and powerful lyrics provide insight into the emotions and pain caused by such a tragic event.
