What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Walt Grace, desperately hating his old place
2
Dreamed to discover a new space and buried himself alive
3
Inside his basement
4
The tongue on the side of his face meant
5
He's working away on displacement
6
And what it would take to survive
7
'Cause when you're done with this world
8
You know the next is up to you
9
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
10
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
11
But with the will to work hard and a library card
12
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
13
That morning the sea was mad and I mean it
14
Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home
15
From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand
16
Closed the hatch up with one hand
17
And pedaled off alone
18
'Cause when you're done with this world
19
You know the next is up to you
20
And for once in his life, it was quiet
21
As he learned how to turn in the tide
22
And the sky was aflare when he came up for air
23
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
24
One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
25
The call she planned on receiving finally made it home
26
She accepted the news she never expected
27
The operator connected the call from Tokyo
28
'Cause when you're done with this world
29
You know the next is up to you
30
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
31
At the bar with his name on the side
32
And they smile when they can, as they speak of the man
33
Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
