AWOLNATION - Sail

AWOLNATION’s "Sail" is a high-energy, anthemic track that blends rock, electronic, and indie elements to create something intense and captivating. Released in 2010 as part of their debut album Megalithic Symphony, the song quickly became a standout hit, largely because of its gritty, rebellious vibe and its anthemic chorus. The lyrics themselves are somewhat cryptic, but they reflect a sense of frustration, defiance, and a desire to break free from constraints—whether that’s societal pressure, personal struggles, or feeling trapped.

The combination of heavy bass, electronic elements, and that iconic chorus, "Sail," gives the song a feeling of empowerment, as if the protagonist is pushing through a storm or chaos, trying to escape or find freedom. It almost feels like a rallying cry for anyone who’s felt suffocated by expectations or circumstances.

The song’s haunting, almost hypnotic quality adds to its emotional weight, making it a track that’s great for channeling those intense, rebellious emotions.

AWOLNATION – Sail Lyrics

Sail
This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
Blame it on my ADD baby

This is how an angel dies
Blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my ADD baby

Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself (myself)
Blame it on my ADD baby

Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my ADD baby

Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail

La la la la la, la la la la la, ohh
La la la la la, la la la la la, ohh
La la la la la, la la la la

Sail, sail
Sail, sail
Sail, sail
Sail, sail, sail
