Lost & Found
Tall Ships Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say you'll never think of me
I was gone without a trace, lost at sea
I am simply moving on
Breaking down my chemical bonds

And I'll return everything I've borrowed
Back into the ground from which I was reborn
So say you'll never think of me

As gone without a trace, lost at sea

This is the way it's meant to be
You can't stick around forever
So please forget me

And I'll return everything I've borrowed
Back into the ground from which I was reborn
I'll fall apart, filter down into the soil
To be reused again

All that's lost is found in the end

All that's lost is found in the end

And I'll return everything I've borrowed
Back into the ground from which I was reborn

Don't fall apart, a passing is no reason for sorrow
It's just the fusing of beginning again

The idea of chemical bonds breaking down implies not only a change in the singer but also in relationships, caused by the natural progression of life.

Line by Line Meaning

Say you'll never think of me
Please forget about me

I was gone without a trace, lost at sea
I disappeared suddenly and no one knows where I went

I am simply moving on
I am leaving this situation behind

Breaking down my chemical bonds
I am changing at a molecular level

And I'll return everything I've borrowed
I will give back anything that is not mine

Back into the ground from which I was reborn
I will return to where I came from

So say you'll never think of me
Please forget about me completely

As gone without a trace, lost at sea
As if I disappeared and was never found

This is the way it's meant to be
This is how fate intended it to be

You can't stick around forever
You can't stay in the same place forever

So please forget me
Please do not remember me
