Discover the story of the song > Sail – Unlimited Gravity – Awolnation

The protagonist is singing about how he shows his love, which is by being adventurous and taking risks. He blames his impulsive behavior on his attention deficit disorder (ADD) and his pride, but he doesn't want to change. He even considers hurting himself but decides to blame it on his ADD. The chorus repeats the word "sail" multiple times as a symbol of his desire to continue his risky behavior.
