Your Heart Breaks - Captain My Captain

Copied!

Oh captain my captain
The ship is slowly sinking
While you were looking at the stars
The men all snuck off drinking
There’s not been wind in the sails
For days to keep us going
So while you were looking at the stars
Your ship was overflowing

Oh captain my captain
Your men are slowly drowning
Can’t you feel beneath the floor
The screaming and the pounding?
Mast has fallen on the hatch
There is no escape
So while you were looking at the stars
They met a watery grave

Oh captain my captain
Oh captain my captain
Oh captain my captain
Oh captain my captain
Oh captain my captain

Oh captain my captain
Your boots are underwater
While you were looking at the stars
The silence it grew louder

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Your Heart Breaks - Captain My Captain" is a haunting and emotional song that tells the story of a ship slowly sinking and the captain's negligence leading to the demise of his crew. The lyrics vividly depict the chaos and despair on board as the ship's situation worsens, with the men drowning and the captain seemingly unaware of the impending disaster. The repeated plea to the captain throughout the song adds to the sense of urgency and despair, painting a bleak picture of a captain who is too preoccupied with the stars to notice the tragedy unfolding around him. This song is a powerful and poignant reminder of the consequences of neglect and the toll it can take on those under someone's care.
