Shipwrecked is a song by British band Genesis, appearing on their 1997 album Calling All Stations. The lyrics were written by Mike Rutherford.
The song can be classified as a break-up song. The song talks about someone who has recently broken up with their significant other, and now feels "shipwrecked", hopeless, and alone [1].
The album it appears on, Calling All Stations, was not very well received critically and its sales resulted in Genesis losing some worldwide commercial standing (especially in the United States, where the album was considered a failure). Consequently, Shipwrecked did not have a significant impact when released as a single.
Some single versions featured acoustic versions of No Son of Mine, Lover's Leap, and Turn It On Again as b-sides.
