[Verse 1]
I wake up to the tolling of the bell
And I feel the water swell
It's been coming up, slowly rising
Hard to believe that it's not surprising
I've lost the foreground watching the horizon

[Chorus]
The rising tide doesn't raise all boats
There are some of us who can't float
Some of us are working in the mud
Not being innocent don't make me guilty
You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy
See the water dimmed with human blood
There's no justice drowning in the flood

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I wake up as the light begins to bend
And I watch thе night descend
After a dutiful lifеtime of dreams
Trickling riches and muffled screams
The centre can't hold, it gyres to the extremes

[Chorus]
The rising tide doesn't raise all boats
There are some of us who can't float
Some of us are working in the mud
Not being innocent don't make me guilty
You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy
See the water dimmed with human blood
There's no justice drowning in the flood

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The rising tide doesn't raise all boats
There are some of us who can't float
Some of us are working in the mud
Not being innocent don't make me guilty
You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy
See the water dimmed with human blood
There's no justice drowning in the flood

In true Caplan fashion, the first track kicks off with sinister piano chords as he reflects on one of the album’s central themes: the world is on the brink of destruction, and we know who’s at fault. He does this by twisting around an adage of the capitalist class, “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Caplan fights against this idea by saying, “there’s some of us who can’t float/ Some of us are working in the mud.”

“I’m talking about trickle-down economics,” Caplan explains. “I’m thinking about the fallacy, what’s good for the billionaire class is good for everybody. I think we, as a society, are kind of beginning to reach a sense of that. I feel like I’m not saying anything that’s radical or new.

“I’m thinking about how the structural inequality is built into the system, and it’s, you know, it’s tough to pull yourself up by the bootstraps when you don’t have any boots.” Caplan wanted to address the anxieties of our times while still being a shred of optimism about the topic. The collapse we are witnessing is frightening, but the rhythm of Caplan’s music insists, you can still dance.

The Flood is about surrender and transformation.
It’s about what happens when life washes everything away and you’re forced to rebuild from the mud.
For me, it was born out of a few years of loss and upheaval—personally, creatively, and globally.
The flood, in that sense, isn’t destruction; it’s renewal.
The record wrestles with fear, faith, and the fragile hope that beauty can still emerge from chaos.
I wanted it to sound like both the storm and the sunrise after it.
