This island has become
An ocean and my boat's too small
The waves are crashing in
And I can't save this sinking ship

I sent out signal flares
But no one out there seems to care
Now the voice inside my head
Is the only thing that I have left

This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve

And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)

Twenty days at sea
My skin is blistered from the heat
I can beg and I can plead
What I get is never what I need

This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve

And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)

And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)

I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down

This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve

And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)

And now I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in what I won't be
I'm haunted by the sound
(Sweet sound of my last breath)

    Song Meaning:This song means in general or to me, my interpretation:

    His relationship (either friendship or bf gf relationship) isn't the same as it was. The persons friends have become better friends than him with that person that he cares or cared about a ton. He realizes that there's nothing left that he can do, he's tried everything, and his favorite person doesn't consider them there favorite person or treat him the same. He feels like he's been replaced. He's tried and tried time again to do anything for that person but they just push him away, and he doesn't under stand why, but he finally accepts what is going on.

    He tried to tell that person what they were doing to him but they didn't care, they didn't know that they were doing it. He tried to let his other friends know so that maybe he could hang out with one of them, maybe they would feel sorry for him, but he got shoved out of the way and nobody cared. His thoughts are the only things that are on his side, that understand how he's been mistreated, that are his friend.

    He'll admit he's getting what he deserves because when he became that special persons friend he took the place of someone else. He now realizes he's going through exactly what they went through, he's getting pack back.

    And now he's lost because he doesn't know what to do or why that happened to him because he did everything he possibly could for that special person. He's drowning in what he won't be, he's drowning in his replacements comments. He's drowning in his spot as that persons favorite, while someone else is replacing him. He's haunted by the sound of his last breath. He's haunted by his last try to be that special persons favorite, he's haunted by his failure.

    He has been living as the fallback to that special person to a while now and he's hurt by all the pain that person has caused him. He begs and pleads, he still tries to do everything for that person but in the end he still sees that he is just a fallback to that special person. With everything he does to try to win that special person back he never gets what he wants.

    Now he realizes that he's already lost and there's nothing he could ever do about it. He wasn't going to give up, but when you have already lost you can't give up. He is always so determined he is so upset with what he lost, that's why it took him so long to accept it. What makes him even madder is that person doesn't even see that they've done anything wrong. You can't punish a person if they don't think they're doing anything wrong.

    He has realized after all this pain he has been caused that he's lost, and he needs to move on.




    I've experienced this and this song really speaks towards me.

    General Comment:my problems have become too large to fix

    I sent signs that my problems were too large for me to fix, but nobody listened

    left alone, I have only to act on my emotions alone

    whatever I tried to fix my situation didn't work

    This is what it's like to end, alone.

    General Comment:This song honestly isn't too tough to analyze.

    It's about someone whose been searching and trying to find something to make him happy, something to live for. He has nothing and feels alone, perhaps more so now than he ever had been.

    By the part about his last breath, it sounds like the person decided to take their own life, or at least attempt it.

    Quite a sad song, but so amazing.

    General Comment:"I sent out signal flares, but no one out there seems to care"

    Probably one of my favorite lines because it relates back to the "20 days at sea" line. But he's saying that he gave people a chance to come to his aid and help him out, but nobody responded or took the chance to do so.

    Powerful shit. great song.

    General Comment:From listening to this song, this is what is means to me..

    [i sent out signal flares, but know one out there seems to care. now the voice inside my head is the only thing that i have left]
    -- he sent out maybe some sort of signs of how he was feeling but knowone really payed any attention or cared.
    now hes all alone.
    [this is the part where ill admit. im getting what i deserve]

    -- maybe he feels like hes done something wrong or he has doe something wrong to feel the way he feels.. all alone.



    [now im lost at sea. im drowning in what i wont be. im haunted by the sound. sweet sounds of my last breath]

    --now hes lost in this life. hes feeling suicidal. he drowning in his blood. and takes his last breath.

    [ 20 days at sea, my skin is blistered from the heat. i can beg and i can plead. what i get is never what i need.]

    -- he stopped takin anti-depressants. which one of the sidafects is blisters.
    and he can prey and beg. but preying never works for him.

    [im going down, im going down]

    --hes feels he goin to hell for comitting suicide.


    i hope my interprtations helped.

    this is one of my favorite songs and bands!

    General Comment:I think this song is all about how his life is a prison. He's become so detetched from everything that was onmce important to him and he cannot handle it. and I also think that what greenasanthony said is incorperated as well.

    General Comment:im going to disagree with everyone.... I believe and i could be wrong, is about being lost to god. The album is entitled "still searching" and most of the songs in the album inquire about the lead singer still searching for god, and existence of a god. This song he's just singing bout how, that he's lost and everyday that he's not found its getting farther away from spiritual aknowledgement. I kind of got my conclusion of this, b/c of that part "this is the part i admit, im getting what i deserve." kind of like he's being banished by god, and the line "im going down" could be refering to him going to hell.

    General Comment:I think in the part "Twenty days at sea, my skin is blistered from the heat" it means that he hasn't used anti-drepressants in the past 20 days and his skin is blistered. Because when you discontinue the use of anti-depressants you get side effects, and one of the is blistered skin.
