SWALLOW THE SUN

- The Ship Lyrics

It came with the nightfall
The dark that swallowed the stars
One by one it painted them black
And brought horror to our hearts

It came down in the shape of rain
A wall of black waters
Spreading the end to the earth below
And I ran and left them all

Away from those dying voices
I escape the eye of the doom
The triumph of fear and ending lives
And I left them all and ran
Until I reached the shore

The waves greeted me with majestic mourn
To the sea I shed my last hope
And the ocean carried me away

The sound of ending world was fading
Until I only heard my heart in despair
Closed my eyes and fell into a sleep
Relieving dream of the distant sun

"Awake" whispered the sea
And my tearful eyes were open
The crystal night sky shone like water
The roof of eternity, ballet of million stars

But as I turned my eyes down to the horizon
The stars were fading one by one...

What is the meaning behind The Ship lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Swallow the Sun's The Ship tells the story of a person who escapes from a terrible situation, represented by the dark and rainy night, and discovers comfort and optimism in the infinity of the ocean, only to encounter the return of despondency as the stars vanish. The ship lyrics mainly accentuate despair, angst, solitude, nature, and reflection. Besides, the song underlines the roles of despair and hopelessness, escape and survival, loss and abandonment, and renewal and awakening. The lyrics consist of horror, fear, and despair themes that are more powerful and mature. The representation of a disaster and the main character's emotional crisis imply a rating that is above that of the general public. The words and pictures used, while not graphic, still manage to create a feeling of fear and urgency that may not be appropriate for very young children to experience without supervision.
