Jump Ship
Take me underwater
Down where I can see
What it is they’re hiding in the dark and deep blue sea
Ripples on the surface
Information war
Sweeping from the ocean to the shore
Ohhhh
Want to hear the whispers
In the deep blue sea
How much information did they keep from you and me
Want to see the nature
The nature of the beast
The pact between the devil and the priest
Ohhh
I better jump ship
The big nice ship
Sometimes we have to take the ice-cold dip
Water, salt, the tide is turning
Let’s go
It won’t be an easy trip
Jump ship
The safe nice ship
Even though it’s gonna hurt a little bit
It feels so nice and warm on deck
But truth is
Staying here won’t save my neck
Take me underwater
Let the music fade
Lift the curtains, let me look behind the masquerade
Let me pass the surface
Dive into the deep
The bracing cold might wake me from my sleep
Jump ship
The big nice ship
Sometimes we have to take the ice-cold dip
Water, salt, the tide is turning
Let’s go
It won’t be an easy trip no
Jump ship
The safe nice ship
Even though it’s gonna hurt a little bit
It feels so nice and warm on deck
But truth is
Staying here won’t save my neck no
Jump ship
The big nice ship
Sometimes we have to take the ice-cold dip
Water, wind, the salt is burning
I know
That it won’t be an easy trip
Jump ship
Let’s take the ice cold dip
Jump ship
Though it might hurt a bit
The big nice ship
It’s nice and warm on deck
Jump ship
But staying here won’t save your neck
Ohhhhhh
I laughed. I cried… This hits a major artery – nobody else is singing about things that actually MATTER. Brings tears to the eyes to know someone is strong, bold, and awake enough to know that this message must get out there, and it certainly makes the red pill palatable for those still in the dark. Musically, the sharp, poignant, masterful lyrics arrangements and shifts just take you higher and… Read more »
Jump Ship • This incredible composition is masterly written! The lyrics have a deep overtone which are applied to your own interpretation. Musically; it’s quite complex in the song’s structure; yet it’s “easy listening” of the; ♫”Ahh’s”♪; at the start have you captivated in a dream-like state. Lisa’s beautiful yet haunting vocals are stellar and have you transfixed; whilst Mona’s effective drums keep the groove. The creative drumming is outstanding… Read more »
MLT have penned some well-crafted allegorical lyrics with a current social commentary. And I hear influences from David Bowie.
This song is so addictive, can’t stop playing it once I start. Absolutely love it!
The more I listen to this the better I like it….I especially like that very last line..I think it’s Mona screaming “But staying here won’t save your neck”
“The higher you fly, the deeper you go. The deeper you go, the higher you fly.”
These songs have so much depth, it’s turning out to be an amazing album.
I also like the graphic looking up at the boat, it says so much. 1000 of the right words.
I just love it!
Fab lyrics….perfect complimentary accompaniment to the tone/vibesense, etc of the music created, Indeed poetical, deep, makes one think, , well done and Kudos ????????
Love the lyrics. A very apt song title noting the history of Liverpool as a sea port. Plenty of sailors “jumping ship” no doubt, particularly in the days of sail!
Sometimes we get too comfortable in our own skin. We’re afraid to take a chance.
Everyday can be a learning experience if we look with our eyes open.
Interesting lyrics.
Hi Mona & Lisa. What a great song with a haunting tune and “open to interpretation” lyrics. There are plenty of ideas about their meaning but, to me – I never got on that ship but have been standing on shore waiting (praying) for others to “jump ship” before it’s too far gone to save themselves and swim back to safety.
