Like a Ship in the Sea
The Talking Bugs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now and here never be alone again
See what your thoughts
Draw on the blue line

There's a time
To leave all behind all
Put them in your broken box
With no regrets no more

And I fall like a star like never before

And I fall like a star like never before

I'm just like a ship in the Sea

Down down down
Down in the morning
I will try to forgive things
If I have time to do

Down down down
Down in the morning
I can see through wall
Keep this in your broken mind

And I fall like a star like never before
And I fall like a star like never before
I'm just like a ship in the Sea

Down
You are here
The sun is falling
'Cause I'm to a fault
And cause I'm broken again
And sometimes you are falling
Like a ship in the sea
For myself and my head
Something better again

And I fall like a star while you are nothing

And I fall like a star while you are nothing

Sometimes I'm wonderful

Sometimes I'm not your seal

Sometimes I'm like a ship in the sea

Overall Meaning

The Talking Bugs's song "Like a Ship in the Sea" is a melancholic ballad that explores themes of loneliness, regret, and forgiveness. The opening lines - "Now and here never be alone again, See what your thoughts Draw on the blue line" - suggest a moment of clarity and self-reflection in which the singer is able to confront their own internal struggles. The subsequent lines, "There's a time To leave all behind all Put them in your broken box With no regrets no more" suggest that the singer is ready to let go of their past and move forward, unburdened by regrets.

The chorus of the song, "And I fall like a star like never before, I'm just like a ship in the sea," is a metaphor for the singer's feelings of isolation and vulnerability. The image of falling like a star suggests a sense of uncontrolled descent and a lack of agency, while the image of a ship in the sea highlights the singer's sense of being adrift and at the mercy of bigger forces. The second verse, "Down down down Down in the morning I will try to forgive things If I have time to do," suggests a desire to move beyond these feelings of isolation and anger by seeking forgiveness.

Overall, "Like a Ship in the Sea" is a contemplative and emotionally resonant song that speaks to the experience of feeling lost and alone, but also holds out hope for a better future.
