| Hey Ocean! – Last Mistake Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
One of my favourite songs by Hey Ocean! I believe it is the song about forbidden love. In a broad sense, but probably it is very forbidden love in a society of this song heroes. The pair in the song clearly state that their love is unique ("We are the only ones who knew this kind of love"). They began to meet in secret ("We both knew it was time" [to leave so no one would knew]), but soon they "lost any sort of control". As I understand it, their love was eventually discovered and they were attacked by society and moral defenders: "With the war all around There was no other sound"; "I was trying to hear you through the crowd of people screaming For their souls in a world they would obey". The problem with their love lies probably also in a religious context (that's why one of them tell another that "Skies above had nothing to do with it", and people screaming for their souls, not lives etc.). Despite serious consequences for them the song implied (I think "The Last" part is here for a reason), both ("You and I") decide to "look the other way", not the way the society looks (i.e. toward "the world they [crowd] would obey"), and save their feelings for each other. That is how I see it. I think it is a beautiful song, romantic, tragic and rebellious, all at the same time. |
