AWOLNATION: Sail Meaning

Song Released: 2011

Sail Lyrics

SAIL!

This is how i show my love
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...

   I think his gf dumped him and she blames it on his ad. When he says sail he means to set sail to a new life. In the video he goes into his bathtub and then when he gets out he starts floating into the sky eventually or going to heaven so and when he drops the tape it could be his will.

   In the part when he jumps into the bathtub in the video (with the water) is so that the aliens scanner thing just passes over the water and doesn't pass over his body and find him. And the briefcase looks all top-secret government like, I think he found something and the men in black are trying to find him.

   having ADD/ADHD can be very overwhelming at times. Due to this many people with ADD?ADHD have the tendency to have addictions that let them escape from whats going on in their mind. These can be anything from Drinking to video games to reading to constantly watching tv anything that they can hyperfocus on that gets them away. I think the "sail" part of the song is referring to the need to escape sometimes.

   Notice that multiple times in the video the eye in the triangle is shown. This would be the symbol also of the Illumanati which has pretty much taken over music, so i believe personally, that the point is to try sail away from the eye, and resist the group, and that is why you see him being dragged.

   The guy singing is an alien. He sings maybe i'm from a different breed, and the video show a space suit.
   He blames his alien tendencies on his add.
   At the end of the song in the background he sings "sail away with me" trying to convince somebody to go with him.
   He was staying on Earth so the aliens came to take him back up there but he didn't want to go. The word "awols" on the tape recorder is what they referred to humans.

   umm did anyone notice what the camera was pointing to a couple of times. once on the breafcase and twice on the picture on the wall. its the third eye. the same thing we see printed on the us dollar bill. its been said that the third eyes is the cereblum in our brain. if its tapped into through some deep meditation it has been said that we untimatly are able to have supernatural powers. and are able to solve mysteries of the unknown. thats why he was being chased. he found out something he shouldnt have

    The world is not ending, if you believe that, then off yourself immediately, and send your resources to everyone else (like me) who plans to survive at any cost (including offing little pea brained idiots like those who think the world is going to 'end').
    
    There's so many individuals with this type of idiot programming firmly encoded in their brains that i would love to wipe you all out, BUT, THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. However you COULD wipe your own stupid selves out :D

    He can't commit to a relationship because he is scared. He needs something to blam it on... ADD. Seems a good enough reason. He talks about his love being the only way his mind knows how to show it, makes and angel cry, should he get help or just give up and "kill himself". Sail is a way of saying "go away" to whomever he is feeling feelings for. Telling them to give up on him because he is not confortable reveiling his true self because of insecurity. or it could be a simple case of alien, illuminati, government conspiracy, mind control and take over of our rights and freedoms abduction... but probably not.

    I believe that the song is about how ADD can screw up your life and make your thoughts seem scattered and disorganized to others. After watching the video I do not agree with the alien or illuminati or government theories. Instead I believe the light represents the real world and how we are supposed to function in society and it is constantly trying to drag him back to its normalness. The house represents his mind full of confusion and fear of the outside world, because of his battle with ADD. He is recording in hopes that one day someone will hear his message. He contemplates suicide to escape the turmoil. I do agree with everyone else that the word SAIL is his representation of getting away.

    after watching I Am Number 4 IDK what the fuck either of those were about but the movie was explosions and the music video was a crackhead government agent that learned to much.

    He is trying to get information out about the government/Illuminati(government seal on the briefcase, Tape Recorder. In the beginning of the video, he is running scared from something. The mysterious lights at 30 sec. of the video could be Military(FEMA) or Aliens. Sail probably means Get the F out now. Maybe he was trying to warn people(This is how I show my love) but his ADD always distracted him from trying to warn people. I don't think he is trying to kill himself in the bathtub(maybe he knows how to hide from the scanner) Cold water?? Maybe drops the temp of the core, and the scanner lists you as dead? No threat? Whatever. Maybe when he plays the piano, that is when his ADD kicks in again, stopped running from whatever was chasing him. "sail with me through the dark" could also mean, Get the F out of here with me, away from these lights, into a safer place(the dark). Something like that lol.
