Play Crack The Sky Lyrics Artist(Band):Brand New
It was a quarter past four, in the morning When the storm broke our second anchor line. Four months at sea. Four months of calm seas {only} To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point. They call 'em rogues. They travel fast and alone. One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong. What they call love is a risk, 'Cause you will always get hit Out of nowhere by some wave And end up on your own. The hole in the hull defied the crew’s attempts, To bail us out. And flooded the engines and radio, And half buried bow. Your tongue is a rudder. It steers the whole ship. Sends your words past your lips Or keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will strand you. Come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea Or dashed to bits on the reef. The vessel groans The ocean pressures its frame. To the port I see the lighthouse Through the sleet and the rain. And I wish for one more day to give my Love and repay debts. But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west. They say that the captain stays fast with the ship, Through still and storm, But this ain't the Dakota, And the water's so cold, {We} won't have to fight for long. (This is the end.) This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear, (This is the calm.) Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath, (We are the risen.) I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea, (After the storm.) I spoke the words but never gave a thought of what they all could mean, (Rest in the sea.) I know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart. (Washed up on the beach.) You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs. [x2] This is the end. ...You never do see any other way... If you find some error in Play Crack The Sky Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to J. Pepper for submitting the lyrics. Review about Play Crack The Sky to me... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/7/2008 It is definately a metaphor for love lost. Everything was fine until that fateful night. The circumstances were beyond their control...they were forced to separate...torn apart. She's was then gone and therefore "dead" and he want's to die and rejoin her in a better place. But at the same time...he knows she only wants him to be happy and live. And for the end of the song he wants nothing more to rejoin her...but he only feels her pain and knows that he must go on anyway. This is definately one of the best songs ever written. un-needed | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/8/2008 it seems like the ending of this song is about a girl that he loves but she doesnt need him and broke his heart and left him cold (maybe after he said something he didn't mean) and in a way she then became "dead" to him. and he re-itterates that this is what she wants (anyway)...and a funeral will for sure keep them apart... and just as he is something she doesn't need... she is not alone... because since now he is drowning there is water coming in his lungs (which he really doesnt need) so now "she is not alone" did you know | Reviewer: Stephen | 3/5/2008 about MONTAUK POINT (PROJECT) it's suppose to be related with project Philadelphia, maybe you know,the missing ship and all. about the song,i just love it, but only today i made the connection about Montauk Point, the boat and the rest of the lyrics. it's much deeper than you might think.but that's already 'deja entendu',isn't it? just remember to smile,once in a while,ok? :) pcts | Reviewer: Aiden | 2/3/2008 i think that despite wat jesse said about the origins of the song, the words can be interpreted in a couple of ways. and the ship wreck love story fits pretty well. each to his own. one of my favourite songs ever. im analysing it for english. lol Remarkable song | Reviewer: CG606 | 1/20/2008 This song is able to instantly put aside my thoughts and lets me visually unwind. I compare the visual stimulants in this song with Red Sky by Thrice. The meanings are different, of course, but the effectiveness of the words are similar. This song is truly a perfect song... nothing could be done to make it better... except maybe hearing it performed live. I like the literal meaning of the song and the way Jesse's voice sets a mood. It is a sad song that makes me happy... explain that. Correction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/2008 First off this song is by far one of the best lyrically written song ever. Second off yes Seventy Times Seven is a biblical reference, maybe some of you guys should listen to when they speak at live shows. And Thirdly this song is a metphorical ship wreck story for love. Just think about it, and it should click pretty quickly. I mean, read the lyrics then think about it. ha, just throwin this out there | Reviewer: yup | 12/29/2007 jesse said live that this song is about a camp that he had went to. the leader made the kids do dangerous, life threatening things. one day the kids came up with this plan to get back at the leader. the plan worked, and the leader broke his leg and could not move. jesse said that the others left the leader behind, and he was the only one that stayed to help. he said he put him in a boat and rowed him a few miles down a river to help. play crack the sky | Reviewer: dfmmusic | 12/13/2007 dont really care if brand new and taking back sunday have had an argument, all i care about is that the world should keep on liking brand new because takin back sunday are just pure crap. BRAND NEW ROCK and this is just one of there greatest songs ever! but i do agree with the person that said this song is double meaning as it is a comparison to love/heartbrake and tragedy rock on!!!!!!!!!!!! wow... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/5/2007 okay um. c daddy... that was definitely limousine... not Jesus Christ. and seventy times seven IS a biblical reference. Jesus said in a parable that if someone apologizes to you then you should forgive them "seventy times seven" times. correct me if i'm wrong. but i don't think so. but about THIS song. great song :) my favorite, from any band. i cried when jesse played it live in detroit. Biblical reponse. | Reviewer: Glenn B | 12/5/2007 hey dude, thought you may be interested. 70 times 7 is the biblical amount jesus said you should forgive people. so the song isnt but the title fits quite well with jesse being screwed over and having to forgive his friend for what he did.
