Song Critique: Roger D’Arcy – Lifeboat | Rock Review
Music Review:
“Το Lifeboat του Roger D’Arcy δεν επιδιώκει την υπερβολή αλλά απλώνεται με μια διακριτική, σχεδόν κινηματογραφική αυτοπεποίθηση. Η ρομαντική μελωδία λειτουργεί σαν αργό, διάχυτο φως που εξαγνίζει το τοπίο, ενώ τα ζεστά φωνητικά αποφεύγουν τον μελοδραματισμό, επιλέγοντας μια ειλικρινή, γήινη τρυφερότητα. Κάτω από την επιφάνεια, ο ροκ παλμός σιγοβράζει, μετατρέποντας τη γαλήνη σε πράξη αισιοδοξίας. Είναι ένα κομμάτι που δεν σε παρασύρει βίαια αλλά σε πείθει απαλά να γίνεις η πιο φωτεινή εκδοχή του εαυτού σου.”

Lyrics of Roger D’Arcy – Lifeboat
I would leave the beaten track for you but I’m no guide
Change horses in mid stream for you but I don’t ride
I’d keep my feelings out of sight but I’ve no place to hide
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get
I’d tell you that I understand but I don’t lie
Save the day like Superman but I don’t fly
I’d wipe away the tears for you but I’m the one who cries
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get
Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools, they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in
I would turn and fight another day but I won’t swerve
Fall upon my knees to pray but I don’t serve
I’d gladly sell my soul for you but I know what it’s worth
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get
Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools and they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in’
Far too many souls climbed in
There’s nothing I can leave behind that I can spare
You’re wrong to think that I’m unkind, that I don’t care
It’s too late for you to look for me ‘cos I’m no longer there
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get
Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools. they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in
