Neptune
Terrible Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Above seas
Black as the storm, ill tempered and too hard to please
Am I lost
Or naive
The pain is so sharp
Sharp as a lover can be
Oh
Neptune, your promise so sharp
Your blood is the sea
Feet are cold
Stomach keen
Not in the hand
Nothing you left out for me
Wind'll howl
Ship'll lean
Last to the grave
Lovers and leavers I'll be
Oh
They're coming for me
Neptune, your promise so sharp
Your blood is the sea
They're coming for me
Neptune, your promise so sharp
Your blood is the sea
Oh
They're coming for me
Neptune, your promise so sharp
Your blood is the sea
They're coming for me
Neptune, your promise so sharp
Your blood is the sea
The lyrics in Terrible Sons's song Neptune are poetic and intriguing, capturing the essence of the sea and the fear that can come with it. The first verse mentions shaping a cloud above the sea, which could signify the power of nature and its ability to create and destroy. The metaphor of the cloud being black and ill-tempered portrays the sea as a force to be reckoned with, one that can be tumultuous and dangerous.
The second verse delves into the emotions of the singer, questioning whether they are lost or naive in their pursuits. The pain they feel is sharp like a lover can be, which implies that they might be experiencing heartbreak or loss. The line "They're coming for me" is repeated throughout the song, creating a sense of impending doom and a feeling of being hunted or chased.
Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is referenced in the chorus, with the promise of Neptune being sharp and his blood being the sea. This creates a mythical and mystical tone, elevating the power of the sea to something beyond the physical.
Overall, the lyrics in Neptune are evocative and poetic, painting a vivid picture of the sea and the emotions that come with it. The repetition of certain phrases adds to the feeling of being trapped, and the use of metaphor and mythology creates a sense of something beyond human understanding.

Creating a cloud of thoughts and emotions
Above seas
Above the vastness of the ocean
Black as the storm, ill tempered and too hard to please
The thoughts and emotions are as dark and hard to satisfy as a storm
Am I lost
Feeling unsure of oneself
Or naive
Or maybe too innocent

Feeling extreme emotional pain
Sharp as a lover can be
As painful as being hurt by a lover
Oh
Expressing a strong feeling
They're coming for me

Addressing the god of the sea and his powerful, sharp promise

Your domain is the vast, powerful, and destructive sea
Feet are cold
Feeling numb and detached
Stomach keen
Feeling anxious and nervous
Not in the hand
Not having control of the situation
Nothing you left out for me
Feeling empty and abandoned
Wind'll howl
The external environment is harsh
Ship'll lean
The rough sea will make the ship unsteady
Last to the grave
These thoughts and emotions will stay with me until death
Lovers and leavers I'll be
Assuming the role of both the loving and the leaving party in relationships
They're coming for me
The dark emotions and thoughts are haunting me
Neptune, your promise so sharp
Addressing the god of the sea and his powerful, sharp promise

Your domain is the vast, powerful, and destructive sea

Your blood is the sea
Your domain is the vast, powerful, and destructive sea

me with you
Neptune
Shape a cloud
Above seas
Black is the storm
Ill-tempered and too hard to please
Am I lost?
Or naive
The pain is so sharp
Sharp as a lover can be
Oh, They’re coming for me
Neptune your prong is so sharp
It bloodies the sea
Feet are cold
Stomach keen
Naught in the hand and
Nothing you left out for me
Wind, I howl
Ship, I lean
Last of the great
Lovers and leavers I’ll be
Oh, They’re coming for me
Neptune your prong is so sharp
It bloodies the sea
(I love your music!)
