LOST AT SEA As recorded by Midnight Oil (From the 2022 Album RESIST) [Intro] [Verse 1] In the age when the loudest voices win words are now worth less than silence In these days of so much suffering it’s the punch you don’t see coming starts the violence We could hear the shoreline pounding in the distance for a moment we were free Then the sons of White Australia came with guns and pushed us back to sea [Chorus] We were lost at sea We were lost at sea wond’rin’ whеre the world could be [Verse 2] Wеll the power of the sea can move your soul eventually it takes control We were in the ocean drifting started listing then the boat began to roll And the coastline rose in front of us each one of us was moved to pray or yell Then the sons of White Australia came with guns and took us to an island hell [Chorus] Lost at sea Lost at sea We were lost at sea (Lost at sea) We were lost at sea (Lost at sea) We were lost at sea (Lost at sea) Wond’rin’ where the world could be (World could be) Wond’rin’ where the world could be (World could be) We were lost at sea [Verse 3] Are the ghosts of White Australia still among us? Are the ghosts of White Australia still around us? Are the ghosts of White Australia in our boardrooms In our bedrooms in our chambers and our churches in the cities and the deserts that surround us? [Bridge] We could breathe out there In the wild salt air And the storms rose high And it raged all night [Chorus] Lost at sea Lost at sea We were lost at sea (Lost at sea) We were lost at sea (Lost at sea) We were lost at sea (Lost at sea) Wond’rin’ where the world could be (World could be) Wond’rin’ where the world could be (World could be) I wonder where the world could be? (World could be) Where that world could be When you’re lost when you’re lost when you’re lost when you’re lost [Outro]

La chanson évoque des thèmes de perte et d'errance, en dessinant le tableau d'une lutte face à la violence et à l'oppression. Elle parle de personnes qui, après avoir ressenti un moment de liberté en entendant les vagues, se retrouvent ensuite refoulées par ceux qui détiennent le pouvoir, symbolisés par les "fils de l'Australie blanche". Cela illustre la souffrance et la désespérance causées par l'injustice sociale. En toile de fond, elle fait écho à un héritage difficile, soulignant la persistance des fantômes du passé dans notre société contemporaine. Les questions sur les fantômes de cette histoire résonnent dans nos sphères privées et publiques, amenant à réfléchir sur ce qui se cache derrière les apparences et sur le chemin que doit emprunter l'humanité pour retrouver une harmonie perdue.
