"Submarines", sebuah karya musik yang memikat dari The Lumineers, menyuarakan sebuah kisah yang tidak biasa tentang seorang narator yang mengklaim telah menyaksikan kapal selam asing di perairan lokal. Terlepas dari desakannya, klaimnya diabaikan dan ditertawakan, meninggalkannya dengan perasaan terasing dan tidak dipercaya. Dalam liriknya yang memikat, lagu tersebut menelusuri tema kredibilitas dan konsekuensi tidak dipercayainya seseorang, menyoroti perjuangan antara kebenaran dan persepsi masyarakat.
Submarines Lyrics
The Lumineers
I believe submarines
Underneath deep blue seas
Saw the flags: Japanese
No one will believe me
Ran back to the town bar
And I told the people how
I had seen the submarine
And everyone laughed aloud
I did spy periscopes
Dead of night on the eastern coast
The police made them jokes
Told me I'd seen a ghost
Everyone thinks I'm a liar
No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire
I would be on the roof
Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay
(Let me go!)
No one trusts what I say
(I don't know!)
Oh my God, no one paid
(Attention!)
Overnight my hair turned gray
(Oh oh oh!)
In the end it boils down to credibility
I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea
(Submarine! Can't find me! Submarine!)
Submarine...
(Submarine!)
Underneath deep blue seas
Saw the flags: Japanese
No one will believe me
Ran back to the town bar
And I told the people how
I had seen the submarine
And everyone laughed aloud
I did spy periscopes
Dead of night on the eastern coast
The police made them jokes
Told me I'd seen a ghost
Everyone thinks I'm a liar
No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire
I would be on the roof
Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay
(Let me go!)
No one trusts what I say
(I don't know!)
Oh my God, no one paid
(Attention!)
Overnight my hair turned gray
(Oh oh oh!)
In the end it boils down to credibility
I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea
(Submarine! Can't find me! Submarine!)
Submarine...
(Submarine!)
