LYRIC ANALYSIS
- 1. LYRIC ANALYSIS: FARR-DOWN CAN WE PUT THIS OUT IN THE OPEN HOW OUR SHIP IS NO LONGER FLOATIN, YEAH BUT IF WE’RE TO SINK IN THIS OCEAN I’LL BE HERE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE This first verse represents two people who are no longer together for whatever reason yet they are still friends and help each other out. WE’VE BEEN TREADIN’ WATER, YEAH AND NOW WE’RE GOING UNDER This refrain means they have been stuck in the same place and now they are going somewhere else, when ‘treading water’ you are staying in the same place and then he states ‘now we’re going under’ meaning they are now someplace else. WE’RE GOIN’ DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN BUT I’LL BE AROUND, I’LL BE AROUND WE’RE GOIN’ DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN BUT I’LL BE HERE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE This chorus follows on from the refrain before, this means that the place they are in at the moment won’t affect their relationship as they will still be together to help each other out. SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFULLY HOPELESS HOW THERE’S NO WAY WE CAN CONTROL THIS SO IF WE’RE TO SINK IN THIS OCEAN OH, IT’S FINE IF IT’S WITH YOU IT’S JUST THE WAY I WANTED TO This second verse suggests that their relationship is so good that if they were to get into a bad place, being with each other would mean it would be ok. CHORUS REFRAIN CHORUS KEEP ON COMING AROUND, WE CAN KEEP ON STICKING THIS OUT KEEP ON COMING AROUND, WE CAN KEEP ON STICKING THIS OUT KEEP ON COMING AROUND, WE CAN KEEP ON STICKING THIS OUT KEEP ON COMING AROUND, WE CAN KEEP ON STICKING THIS OUT The outro of the song basically sums up the whole song about this idea of sticking together no matter what happens and still being friends despite their past and difficult situations.
