Polynesia Lyrics
We're on the sea
We're in a ship and we are sailing by All of the fish and all the octopi We look them right into their octopi eyes. I'm on the sea I got a mermaid looking right at me. I said, "Hey baby, why don't you come up top? You can flip flop while we cruise the Florida Keys." Remember when we said, "you're gonna see us on a red ship sailing"? We'll think of you on your solid ground. We hope you'll think of us out here sailing around. Sailing around. Sailing around. Sailing. Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia, Oceania, oh New Caledonia. We dropped the hook on the Capricorn. Remember when we said, "you're gonna see us with a sailor's tan"? We'll think of you and your stark white hands Building your model ships wishing you were sailing around. Sailing around. Sailing around. Sailing. Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia, Oceania, oh New Caledonia. We dropped the hook on the Capricorn. |

The overall message is the success that can be achieved when you take that leap of faith and venture out of your comfort zone. However, parts of the song clearly portray a definitive contrast between the narrator and the hypothetical people still stuck on the land. It is therefore plausible that the artist is making a comparison between themselves, who have stuck their neck out, and people who have preferred to remain safe and sound within their own domain, but miss out on many experiences. Of course it could just a comparison between an infinite number of groups or individuals, but I still think it's a comparison nevertheless.
Oh, and my favourite part of the song is the capricorn :P
