This lyric is about me leaving somebody that I really loved, but I had to do it, and I couldn't even say goodbye. I used the boat in a metaphorical way, to just sail Away and not look back. Life can be cruel and joyful the same time and I always wondered why I couldn't be the latter more than the former. I've had my share of cruel times in my life, as well as joyful. It just seems like the former has overtaken the latter. I know a lot of it has to do with my own choices, but other stuff is not my fault. I didn't ask to be born with ADHD, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, and anxiety. I've logged to find someone who understands me, and accepts me for who I am, but my choices with relationships has never been good. This lyric is another example of someone that I picked, and that I really loved, but was mature enough to know that I needed to leave it.
