Ships
Wallners Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All around us there are shadows of love
And I think about your plans, our travels
And the times we have tried
I′ve been searching, I've been feeling alone
And I wonder why we said, what we said
And what you had in mind
Ships are sailing
Sailing seven seas
Looking for the love that
Once was real but left

In our hometown they′ve been talking 'bout us
Telling stories of a merciful man and how he did disappear
Fear suggested having a hand in the game
Saying we should not believе in everything we hеar
Ships are sailing
Sailing on my dreams
(They're) gonna carry me
Somewhere I do believe
They′ll find you
Sailors leaving, traveling to be free
Listening to the whispers
Of the gods of sea
They guide you
Ships are sailing
And the god of sea
When the sky turned black
Spoke in riddles to me
He cursed me
Sailors leaving
Now you count to three
And you′re doomed to find
Your own prisons key
Inside you
Feelin' low, and sailin′ high
One might say
Below there's just dark water
Sailors say down there lies all that holds ya
Ships are sailing
Sailing on my dreams
Gonna carry me
Somewhere I do believe
They′ll find you
Sailors leaving, traveling to be free
Listening to the whispers
Of the gods of sea
They guide you
Ships are sailing
And the god of sea
When the sky turned black
Spoke in riddles to me
He cursed me
Sailors leaving
Now you count to three
And you're doomed to find




Your own prisons key
Inside you

Overall Meaning

The song "Ships" by Wallners is a deep and introspective song that explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The opening lines of the song set the tone as the singer describes the shadows of love that surround us, creating a sense of longing and nostalgia. The lyrics go on to reflect on past plans and travels, as well as the times when the singer has felt alone and wondered about the motives and intentions of others. There is a sense of searching and questioning throughout the song, as if the singer is grappling with deep existential questions.


The chorus of the song is a haunting refrain that speaks of ships sailing on the seas, searching for a love that once was real but has now been lost. This imagery is powerful and evocative, conjuring up images of vast oceans and endless journeys. The idea of ships sailing across the seas is also symbolic of the search for something elusive and intangible, something that can never really be captured or owned. The sailors in the song are looking for freedom and the whisperings of the gods of the sea guide them on their journey.


The second verse of the song takes a darker turn, as the lyrics describe the rumors and stories that circulate in the singer's hometown. There is talk of a merciful man who has disappeared, and fear suggests that foul play may be involved. The song suggests that we should not believe everything we hear, and that sometimes the truth is shrouded in mystery and deception. The chorus is repeated once again, emphasizing the sense of longing and searching that is at the heart of the song. The final lines of the song speak of counting to three and finding one's own prison's key, suggesting that the answers we seek are often within ourselves.

Lyrics:

All around us there are shadows of love
and I think about your plans, our travels and the times we have tried
I’ve been searching, I’ve been feeling alone
and I wonder why we said, what we said and what you had in mind

Ships are sailing
sailing seven seas
looking for the love that
once was real but left

In our hometown they’ve been talking 'bout us
telling stories of a merciful man and how he did disappear
fear suggested having a hand in the game
saying we should not believe in everything we hear

Ships are sailing
sailing on my dreams
(they’re) gonna carry me
somewhere I do believe
they’ll find you

Sailors leaving, traveling to be free
listening to the whispers
of the gods of sea
they guide you

Ships are sailing
and the god of sea
when the sky turned black
spoke in riddles to me
he cursed me

Sailors leaving
now you count to three
and you’re doomed to find
your own prisons key
inside you

Feelin’ low, and sailin’ high
one might say
below there’s just dark water
sailors say down there lies all that holds ya

Ships are sailing
sailing on my dreams
gonna carry me
somewhere I do believe
they’ll find you

Sailors leaving, traveling to be free
listening to the whispers
of the gods of sea
they guide you

Ships are sailing
and the god of sea
when the sky turned black
spoke in riddles to me
he cursed me

Sailors leaving
now you count to three
and you’re doomed to find
your own prisons key
inside you

@mirkomontaldo

found on Deezer, into 'Flow'. They sounds similar to Beach House, Still Corners, NIkonn, Cigarettes After Sex and band like these ones. To me they area amazing. Love their sound.

@milocer

Der Song ist eine geniale Stimmklangkombination zwischen "Lana del Rey" UND "Amy Winehouse"..... Wow!!!! BITTE mehr davon. Das ist gaaaanz großes Kino. Eine Bitte an Universal Music, Anna MUSS einen der nächsten James Bond Songs singen, es brächte Euch Millionen an Euros und der Band den Ruhm, die sie verdient. Und es ist ein Wunder!!! Dass noch nicht Quentin Tarantino auf sie aufmerksam wurde!!!!

@jonzilkow7272

No frills, just talent and great music.
