Song DescriptionI really felt detached from my faith and used the image of a lone, sinking ship on the ocean to describe my feelings. The ship finds a harbor to hide within. The sailor finds a weight around his neck (ancient mariner allusion), but is saved from the weight by someone he didn't even believe existed. Then he asks, "can I be saved again?" ...as if he was once a believer, but grew faithless. There at the point of lost faith, the one he didn't believe in appears.
Story Behind the SongAt the bottom of the ocean, in a long submarine, with water rising inside and air becoming poor, I imagined myself--trying to sum up the good and the bad that makes up my story and wondering if I was saved from my sins as a boy, could I be saved again.
