The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Vessel" by the artist "While Heaven Wept"

The song "Vessel" by While Heaven Wept depicts a lyrical protagonist standing on the "shores of despair," contemplating whether the sea will wash away all their dreams. He proposes to his beloved a journey on a metaphorical ship, representing their relationship, into the unknown.

He has built this vessel with passion to withstand the turbulent oceans of life ("oceans angered at each other"). The protagonist believes their love ("fire in your eyes") and faith will help them overcome any obstacle ("we will rise above… never capsized").

He urges his love to trust him ("Believe… in me…") and embark on this journey together, promising paradise ("The journey to paradise begins with the deepest love"). The stars, symbolizing hope and higher powers, guide their way, and their "flaming hearts" provide strength.

Together, with open hearts and faith, they will find solace ("we will find our peace somewhere among the seas") amidst life’s storms.

Stranded upon a desperate shore, afraid

That the sea could wash all of our dreams away

Into it's everflowing infinity...

Or do these tides hold for us sanctuary?

Tonight, will you sail away

With open arms and eyes ablaze?

Believe... in me...

With passion I've built this vessel for us to wander

These oceans that rage within each other

And though the waves, as if to resist, will arise

If we have faith, ne'er will we capsize

Tonight, will you sail away

With open arms and eyes ablaze?

Believe... in me...

Guided by our hearts aflame like the stars above

The journey to heaven begins with this deepest of loves

Have faith without fear, open your heart, breathe and believe

Together we'll find our peace somewhere across the seas

Tonight, we will sail away with open hearts and eyes ablaze

Believe... in me...
