Discover the story of the song > Close The Lid – Port O’Brien

The protagonist is on a boat with friends, enjoying the good weather while fishing and reminiscing about the past. He's not afraid of death as long as his partner is by his side. He talks about being put in a box and kept there until he's old enough to have wisened up. He's in a long civil war between his heart and his partner's, and although it might just be friendly fire, it's hurting him.
