As I Lay Dying – An Ocean Between Us Lyrics 17 years ago
For me the song seems to be about maybe pursuing something that you think means alot to you at first, but
maybe after thinking about it more in depth, you learn that it's really something that you don't want.

"And how many days have we wasted
Chasing a love that was not our own?"

"While my thoughts ran to the highest hills
My heart never reached the sea
With only delusions of an endless journey"

Sort of signifies how he couldnt realize it at first, that everything he had was put into something
that really wasn't worth the time or effort made for it.

"I will not stand in reflection
of someone else’s dream"

The chorus shows then the realization that he won't do it anymore, that he won't live for something
that he doesnt believe in.

"The gate to my heart has been weld shut
With the splendor of my aspirations closed in"

Saying that now that so much effort has been put in, he doesn't know if he wants to try at anything else maybe? That he doesn't really know what he wants after all maybe...and he doesnt want to throw everything he has at another thing he isnt sure about.

Finally I think that the title of the song could be the change between how he was before and how he is now...the difference is like an "ocean between the two", signifying how much he has really changed.

A long comment for a completely amazing song and amazing band
