Mutiny
come wind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a salior serving the sea
When all of my crew drew swords in mutiny
I looked to my captain and said "Which way should I run?"
He said "Son, this is the life we chose. I'm captain under the sun."
(What am I doing here?)
You were the ocean
Pulling the tides
All of my crew washed up by my side
And all I could, all I could find was you
All I could find was you
All I could, all I could find was you
All I could find was you
What am I doing here, again?
What do you want from me this time?
Time - ooh
Tell me again why I should try
I was a failure and
You were the prize
You turned the tide
When you chose to die
All you could, all you could see was me
All you could see was me
All you could, all you could see was me
All you could see was me
What am I doing here, again?
And what do have from me this time?
Time - ooh
Tell me again why I should try
You are mine
You're all I could ever want
You're all I could need
You are mine
You're all I could ever want
You're all I could need
You are mine
You're all I could ever want
You're all I could need
You are mine
You're all I could ever want
You're all I could need
Singing you are mine
All I could ever want
All I could need
You are mine
All I could ever want
All I could need
You are mine




You're all I could ever want
You're all I could need

Overall Meaning

The song "Mutiny" by Come Wind tells a story of a sailor serving the sea who experiences mutiny among his crew. He turns to his captain for guidance, but is met with the response that this is the life they chose and that he is the captain under the sun. In this context, the sun may symbolize authority and power, as the captain takes responsibility for the mutiny and gives the sailor a sense of direction.


The sailor then sings about the ocean, which represents a force beyond his control, pulling the tides and washing up his crewmates by his side. Despite the chaos of the mutiny, the sailor finds solace in the ocean and in his connection to it. The sailor struggles with the idea of trying again and making a success of his life, as he has failed in the past. However, he is comforted by the fact that someone he deeply cares for, possibly a lover or friend, has chosen to die for him and sees only him.


Overall, "Mutiny" is a song about resilience and finding comfort in unexpected places. The sailor finds guidance from his captain, solace in the ocean, and love or friendship from someone who sees only him, despite his past failures.


Line by Line Meaning

I was a sailor serving the sea
I used to be a sailor working in the sea


When all of my crew drew swords in mutiny
My entire crew rebelled against the authority and drew swords


I looked to my captain and said "Which way should I run?"
I was uncertain and asked my captain for guidance


He said "Son, this is the life we chose. I'm captain under the sun."
The captain reminded me that being a sailor is a choice and he is in charge


(What am I doing here?)
I am questioning my position in this situation


You were the ocean, pulling the tides
You were the force of the waves, controlling their movement


All of my crew washed up by my side
My crew landed on the shore beside me


And all I could, all I could find was you
The only thing I could find was the ocean


All I could find was you
Again, the only thing I could find was the ocean


What am I doing here, again?
Once more, I am questioning why I am in this situation


What do you want from me this time?
I am asking what is expected of me


Time - ooh
A musical break


Tell me again why I should try
I am asking for motivation to keep going


I was a failure and you were the prize
I felt unsuccessful and you, the ocean, were the reward


You turned the tide when you chose to die
Your death changed the course of the waves and their movement


All you could, all you could see was me
The only thing you could notice was my presence


All you could see was me
Again, the only thing you could see was me


What am I doing here, again?
Once more, I am questioning why I am in this situation


And what do you have from me this time?
I am wondering what is expected of me now


Time - ooh
A musical break


You are mine
I declare ownership over you, the ocean


You're all I could ever want
You provide everything I desire


You're all I could need
You fulfill all my necessities


Singing you are mine
I repeat my declaration of ownership


All I could ever want
Once more, you provide everything I desire


All I could need
Again, you fulfill all my necessities


You are mine
A final repetition of my ownership declaration


You're all I could ever want
A final repetition of how you meet all my wants


You're all I could need
A final repetition of how you fulfill all my needs
