August Burns Red – Marianas Trench lyrics
This ship is sinking,
Deeper and deeper.
We've abandoned this vessel
And left the captain for dead.

Waves thirst for our passing. (2x)

Prepare for the struggle.
Prepare to engage.

Our armor tight to the skin,
This shield it bears His name.
We are strapped to the teeth,
But our swords are lodged
Tightly in our throats.
We are going under.

We cannot swim under these conditions.
We're drowning quicker and quicker.
We cannot swim, we cannot swim,
We can't swim under these conditions.
We are drowning quicker and quicker.
We cannot swim, we cannot swim
Under these conditions...

We have become what we have feared (We have become what we have feared)
Being one with this world.
We've become one with this world.

Yeah!

Pray for Heaven's titans to rain down,
And spare us the pain.
We're going under. We're going under. (2x)

Under, under, under, under...

    No matter how much work you put into life, you can't change the outcome. Because the outcome of life, is always death. The only hope for our souls/being, is to accept jesus into our hearts because he died for our sins and gave us our refuge. So "pray for heaven's titans to rain down, and spare us the pain," is what I translate into trusting and putting faith into god or jesus. Do that and let whatever happens happen. "we're going under. We're going under. " under the shadow of death, and reborn in christ.

    I think it means that when we get closer to the world and become one with the world its like sinking deeper and deeper in to the ocean to where when you are one with the world you're at the deepest part of the ocean which is what the marianas trench is and that your dying from god. God didn't make us to fit in and be apart of this "world" we were mad to stand out and praise his name. When he sings "pray for heavens titans to rain down to spare us the pain". I believe hes saying before we get that far for someone to save us from such a hell. That's just what I'm getting out of this.

    I like the society references. "but our swords are lodged tightly in our throats. " we are scared to say what's on our minds. Like a captain, we have leaders in life such as our parents, boss, and other teachers. Most likely we will keep something we've learned with us. The ship, a nest, and the captain dead, our fallen ones. We can't live suppressing ourselves throughout our lives and not speak up. Our voices have been suppressed and we'll drown into society unless we do something use what we have learned. Like our leaders knowledge and wisdom, we need to use it like armor to survive. We can not swim if we don't become that leader and stand up to our hardships drowning us. And now we pray for a hero/savior to save us because we are scared.

    I'm a chrisitan and I love abr, and I'm sure there are thousands of parallels that could be found in this song and many others but it seems like really it is talking about going on a unsuccessful voyage to marianas trench the deepest part of the world. And those of you who call christians hypocritical or think that we claim we're perfect we're not, nor do we claim to be. Anyways just don't hate so much and I don't mean that disrespectfully at all. I mean that. Its a song, don't build so much hate over it, its definitely not healthy or polite, christian or not. Christian or atheist, agnostic or muslim. Enjoi abr :)

    This song is about the actual marianas trench. Just saying. Sure you can look deeper into the song and try to find its meaning but to be honest the entire song except for maybe the second half (after the solo) its about an unsuccessful voyage into the deepest part of the world. If you wanted to look for a deeper meaning to that part you could say that society and the way "we" live is bringing us closer to "hell". The second half is pretty straight-forward if you look at it like I stated, if you don't want to sink to hell look to "god" and pray for forgiveness.
    But seriously, everybody is going to have their own opinion (which people may in fact agree with).

    I think this is a christian song, as abr has strong christian influences. The ship that is sinking is the world, doomed to eventual ending. The captain left for dead is the god we have forsaken. Towards the end a struggle ensues, and the faithful bear the armor of god, and weapons they will not use. They do not stand a chance, hence the inevitable drowning. We become what we fear by giving in and not enduring til the end. That's just what I think.

    We must realize that pretty much any time we try to figure out the meaning of anything, we must know background information: where, when, why, and who was the song written for? We must take information out of the song, not read into it. That being said, unless someone knows august burns red personally, and can ask them, we can piss in the wind all day, and still come up with disagreements.

    I thought it was just about us against the world pressures, depression, society, loneliness, etc that anyone can experience in their life. And the reality of people being close to the edge and being overwhelmed with circumstances. Because it is all such a reality, people sinking into dark places in their minds, pressures from the outside world, inside world, sometimes even leading to sucide. "Heaven's titans" I took to mean God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though Jesus already came down and died for us, and then God resurrected Him, and the Holy Spirit now can live inside of anyone who wants Him to, and He will guide them if they permit. With "Heaven's titans" I believe they are also perhaps referring to the assistance of the angels to help us. Abr is saying pray that Heaven's titans move in on our behalf and lift us out of this pain/darkness/confusion, as some may be sinking or at the edge, and "spare us the pain of what bad things can happen in life". To protect us.
