This ship is sinking,
Deeper and deeper.
We've abandoned this vessel
And left the captain for dead.
Waves thirst for our passing. (2x)
Prepare for the struggle.
Prepare to engage.
Our armor tight to the skin,
This shield it bears His name.
We are strapped to the teeth,
But our swords are lodged
Tightly in our throats.
We are going under. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/august_burns_red/marianas_trench.html ]
We cannot swim under these conditions.
We're drowning quicker and quicker.
We cannot swim, we cannot swim,
We can't swim under these conditions.
We are drowning quicker and quicker.
We cannot swim, we cannot swim
Under these conditions...
We have become what we have feared (We have become what we have feared)
Being one with this world.
We've become one with this world.
Yeah!
Pray for Heaven's titans to rain down,
And spare us the pain.
We're going under. We're going under. (2x)

Humanity is sinking and fled like cowards betraying our leader or big man (god) and we are gonna have to fight a losing battle. For we are wicked and with sin and surely lead ourselves back to the hedonistic ways of the preflood era.

We must realize that pretty much any time we try to figure out the meaning of anything, we must know background information: where, when, why, and who was the song written for? We must take information out of the song, not read into it. That being said, unless someone knows august burns red personally, and can ask them, we can piss in the wind all day, and still come up with disagreements.

I think it means that when we get closer to the world and become one with the world its like sinking deeper and deeper in to the ocean to where when you are one with the world you're at the deepest part of the ocean which is what the marianas trench is and that your dying from god. God didn't make us to fit in and be apart of this "world" we were mad to stand out and praise his name. When he sings "pray for heavens titans to rain down to spare us the pain". I believe hes saying before we get that far for someone to save us from such a hell. Thats just what im getting out of this.

The beauty of music is that every song will hold a different meaning to those who listens. My experience has a musician has lead me to many disagrement with diferent kind of people who holds an alternative point of view. In the end is not about what we believe but how we live. Simply enjoy your life the way that makes you happy. Keep supporting abr.

I can't say anything but beautiful. Everyone blabs about meaning behind it and how "screamo" isn't meaningful. Obviously no one's ever heard abr. (they're amazing live too

This song is about the battle between american and japanese navy's for control of the mariana islands in world war ii. The battle was called "marianas trench" because the japanese suffered major losses during that battle in which they lost aircraft and ships to the ocean depths/trenches. Also marianastrench is the deepest trench on the ocean floor

Im a chrisitan and i love abr, and im sure there are thousands of parallels that could be found in this song and many others but it seems like really it is talking about going on a unsuccessful voyage to marianas trench the deepest part of the world. And those of you who call christians hypocritical or think that we claim we're perfect we're not, nor do we claim to be... Anyways just dont hate so much and i dont mean that disrespectfully at all. I mean that. Its a song, dont build so much hate over it, its definitely not healthy or polite, christian or not. Christian or atheist, agnostic or muslim... Enjoi abr :)
