about

A metaphor song - A fireship was a wooden ship filled with combustibles, deliberately set on fire and steered or allowed to drift into an enemy fleet in order to destroy ships or to create panic and make the enemy break formation...So now you know...

lyrics

Fireships
Burning down my sails
Burning out my insides
You sent me right down here

To die
From a rush of bad water
A rush of bad feeling
You sent me right down here

But even here I want you, sailing overhead
But even here I watch you, sailing on your way

Fireships
I'm breaking under pressure
Drowning under water
You sent me right down here
