This is the accent of the half hearted land
Does it all make sense now
And if the ship was built in bottled sand
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Of a bivouac tenure
The tropic of cancer answered
Drink the quicksand
A mirror was splintered on the deck floor
Does it all make sense now
A stowaway that lived beneath this hull
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Or bivouac tenure
This tropic of cancer answered;
Drink the quicksand
It's gills will swim faster after a branch
From the shore
Breathe the taste of salt water
Dry heave up and overboard
Ponce De Leon wrinkles
Let's make it young again
Boat drinks for captains
Row our boat away stowaway
It all makes sense now
If our map was torn navigate, navigate
If your compass broke navigate, navigate
Does it all make sense now
And if the ship was built in bottled sand
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Of a bivouac tenure
The tropic of cancer answered
Drink the quicksand
A mirror was splintered on the deck floor
Does it all make sense now
A stowaway that lived beneath this hull
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Or bivouac tenure
This tropic of cancer answered;
Drink the quicksand
It's gills will swim faster after a branch
From the shore
Breathe the taste of salt water
Dry heave up and overboard
Ponce De Leon wrinkles
Let's make it young again
Boat drinks for captains
Row our boat away stowaway
It all makes sense now
If our map was torn navigate, navigate
If your compass broke navigate, navigate

i'm not quite sure what this entire song means....but near then end i get the feeling thats its about just living your life as it comes, instead of trying to control everything.
"if our map is torn, navigate navigate. if your compass broke, navigate, navigate."
i think the song is just saying that life won't always have a direction manual...and sometimes you just have to "navigate"
yeah, you hit the nail on the head, at least in terms of what the song means to me. the last two lines say it all, more than the rest of the song. when life gets rough, sometimes you're not going to have a map or a compass to show you a clear path to get you to where you want to go, and sometimes you just have to give it your best shot and navigate your own way through it all.<br /> <br /> i've been thinking of incorporating the "if your compass broke, navigate" line into a tattoo for a while now. maybe i should stop pussyfooting and do it.
