Discover the story of the song > Kamakura – The Maccabees

The song is about a man who is drinking to forget and feeling lost. He sees a girl who he admires, but doesn't know how to find his way home. He reflects on how time has passed and how he has hurt his best friend. He knows his friend will forgive him, but it still hurts. The man finds comfort in the darkness and solitude, but knows that it must be difficult for those out at sea. The song ends with the realization that no one talks about these things because it hurts too much.
