Sail Lyrics

Sail
This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
Blame it on my ADD baby

This is how an angel dies
Blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my ADD baby

Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself (myself)
Blame it on my ADD baby

Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my ADD baby

Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail

La la la la la, la la la la la, ohh
La la la la la, la la la la la, ohh
La la la la la, la la la la

Sail, sail
Sail, sail
Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail

The recurring use of "Sail" serves as a metaphor for escapism, as the protagonist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and isolation. The phrase "Blame it on my ADD" is a poignant acknowledgment of the misunderstandings and societal pressures faced by those with the condition. The lyrics oscillate between self-blame and defiance, capturing the turbulence of mental health challenges. Through raw and unfiltered emotion, the song encapsulates the inner battle between self-acceptance and the desire to conform.
