“Don’t Fall Asleep At The Helm” is about sailing alone and getting lured by sirens. This is all a metaphor for depression. This depression keeps getting worse, which could end in his suicide.
The theme ties sailing, common myths and terminology of sailing, with depression, lonliness, and suicide.
[Verse 1]
I lost my heart, my home is the ocean
The waves underneath will soon be my home
I will fall asleep, I'll close my eyes and
Dream of days when I wasn't all alone
[Chorus]
All that I know is gone (Take what is left of me now)
All that I know is gone (Take what is left of me)
Fall deeper and deeper
The sirens are singing your songs
[Verse 2]
I'll miss my breath, there's no more left
I'll miss the sound of the wind at my back
The depths have a number, they call you by name
Fall asleep, Davy Jones calls you
So fall asleep, fall asleep and dream
[Chorus]
All that I know is gone (Take what is left of me now)
All that I know is gone (Take what is left of me)
Fall deeper and deeper
The sirens are singing your songs
All that I know is gone (Take what is left of me now)
All that I know is gone (Take what is left of me)
Fall deeper and deeper
The sirens are singing your songs
