La chanson évoque la mélancolie des marins disparus dans les eaux tumultueuses autour du légendaire Cape Horn. Elle décrit des navires escortés par des fantômes, d'anciens marins qui, pris dans des tempêtes, ont trouvé leur fin au fond de la mer. Les paroles évoquent également la camaraderie entre les marins de différentes régions, qui se retrouvent tous enveloppés par la même tragédie maritime. Dans une ambiance à la fois nostalgique et sombre, on ressent le poids des récits non racontés, des souvenirs perdus et le mystère de la mer qui continue de les hanter.
