Discover the story of the song > Bottled Wind – Polar Bear Club

The song talks about a tired and broken protagonist who is questioning whether he is moving forward in life. He is compared to a dock that is being hit by water but not breaking through. The wasteland, which seems to refer to a difficult time or place, isn't just for teenagers and the protagonist is urged to keep going and not give up. The lyrics suggest that he needs to keep swimming to avoid sinking, and that ultimately, the value of his efforts will be determined by how they are used.
