Less Than Jake – Abandon Ship Lyrics

Ska

Give me some religion, pass the wine
Cause this time I can't hold it in like I always did.
Give me some more T.V., make it loud, make believe.
I'm in desperate need for some company.

Attention this is not a test
Help me get this moving target of my chest
From my closest friends.

Save me from this hopelessness
And talk some sense into this head.
Help stop this endless S.O.S.

Treading water with weights around my neck.
A shipwreck of reckless accidents.
Overboard and I'm about to quit.
Head first, high dive in this deep end.
Abandon ship cause it's sinking way too quick.

Give me some forgiveness, and I'll try
Cause this time if I pull the pin I'll get blown to bits.
Give me some more music, I'll sit and read the lyrics
Like a bible, a gospel, I'll sing along.

Attention this is not a test
Swim to shore before unconsciousness.
My hands feel like they're made of bricks.

Save me from my recklessness
And talk some sense into this head.
Help stop this endless S.O.S.

Treading water with weights around my neck.
A shipwreck of reckless accidents.
Overboard and I'm about to quit.
Head first, high dive in this deep end.
Abandon ship cause it's sinking way too quick.

I can't listen to all the reasons
I just need one more thing to believe in,
The one thing that will keep me breathing.
I'll kiss the dirt when I hit dry land.

Treading water with weights around my neck.
A shipwreck of reckless accidents.
Overboard and I'm about to quit.
Head first, high dive in this deep end.
Abandon ship cause it's sinking way too quick.

    I think this song is about needing a reason to keep going on after life has just put you down time after time."Give me some religion""Give me some more tv, make it loud, make believeI'm in desperate need for some company""Give me some forgiveness and I'll try""Give me some more music I'll sit and read the lyrics like a bible, a gospel, a sing-a-long"^One of my favorite lines ever. It's so resoundingly true.^"I just need one more thing to believe inThe one thing that will keep me breathing"When you hit rock bottom, you ask yourself "why bother?", but you know you have to keep trying, so you have to look for some reason to keep you going and pushing on.I hope you can find your reason when you get there.
