The Lady from Shanghai 2 Lyrics

When I was a young man I
Sank into the shadows where the edge begins to blur
And when I was a young man I
Sought out the places where the shadows were
And then luck found me
Out on the open sea

Hoisting up the main sail high
Emblem of the mirror in the stitching on the ocean breeze
Nibbles in the nets all night
Kings up in their castles not arrayed like these
Out there where the dreams come from

When will my moment come?

Everything that sinks will float
Everything that sinks will float
We went down to the boat

When we built the fire, I knew:
When the smoke settled it would come down to us two
Just a lucky guess, you know
Show me the places where lucky guesses go
But when I was a young man I, I
I sought out the sky

Everything that sinks will float
Everything that sinks will float

The Lady from Shanghai 2 Lyrics Meaning

When he was young, he spent a lot of time in uncertain, unclear places, almost exploring the edges of his comfort and the unknown. He was drawn to the shadows, to moments and places others might avoid, trying to understand life in his own way. Eventually, he feels luck or opportunity found him when he ventured out into the open, away from familiar ground.

Out at sea, he raises the sail and notices small details that reflect the world around him, like patterns in the wind and water. Life feels different here, freer and wilder than the structured lives of others. He watches how things move and shift, wondering when his own chance or big moment will come.

Even in hard times or when things fall apart, he believes that they can rise again. Simple actions, like building a fire, bring clarity and shared moments. He takes chances, follows guesses, and continues to look upward, always searching for new possibilities and hope.
