The Logic Off Topic list

I have a son who�s rather fond of Oasis and in their song the Masterplan there is a line that just doesn�t make any sense to us. And sail them home with Acquiesce, On a ship of hope today, 

What does that mean, why is Acquiesce spelling with a capital a. I know what acquiesce means but in that particular line there must be some other meaning to it.

Wish I had some brilliant interpretation but being a
somgwriter, I've come to accept that lyrics don't
always lend themselves to literal interpretations.
Sometimes they just "sound" beautiful and we have to
"acquiesce" to that being good enough.  JP

I got this replay concerning what these lines mean: sail them home with
Acquiesce, on a ship of hope today

I still don\ufffdt get it, why is Acquiesce spelled with capital A, I thought
maybe it was something historic like maybe a ship. I do understand that many
lyrics are chosen just because they sound good and I quite like that but
this is just so strange because the right word would be acquiescense, it
wouldn't make much sense but at least it would mean something.
