Norma Jean collection. Quote of the Day #2 - October 22nd, 2007

Filed under: News — admin @ 2:44 pm

“Captain the ship is sinking, have mercy” - from the song “The End of All Things Will Be Televised” by Norma Jean from their last album Redeemer.

I freakin’ love this line. He screams it like five times in a row and each time I gotta crank the sound up cause it’s so awesome! Gives me chills. Obviously the line is open to interpretation, but they are a Christian band so I interpret the “ship” to be the world, sinking further and further into sin, and the “Captain” being the Lord. Because in the line just before this, he talks of all the empires that were wiped away in an instant. That verse from the same song says this exactly:

O infamous city, full of turmoil, I’m terrified at your collapse
The kings, they shudder with horror, their faces distorted with fear
Endless empires gently brushed away in the blink of an eye
All Creation, wilted

Which of course is referring to the ancient cities, like Babylon, that God destroyed because of their sin. That was a different time, different place, before the coming of Jesus, of course, and they did not have The Holy Spirit inside them, but the point remains the same. Turn to the Savior, Jesus Christ, before the sin of the world, corrupts you and everything around you.

By the way, Norma Jean announced on their myspace blog that they will be coming out with a collection of all their albums soon!
