about

This song is about Jaws and WWII.

In Jaws, Quint talks about dropping the atomic bombs on Japan and on the trip back, many of the planes ran out of fuel and crashed in the ocean.
Ben is one of the pilots floating endlessly as he struggles with his plight.

lyrics by B. Haag

Days have passed

Sky and sea
are seemlessly bound
the sobering math
we'll never be found

They're looking in all the wrong places

Is that land I see
or is that the ocean fucking with me

This far away
we are kings of all
we survey
