Life's An Ocean Lyrics
Life's An Ocean
Too mych comimotion, too much emotion
Dragging me down
Living for today, don't have time to pray
Ready for the game
Take a line of fickle flame
Imagine the future
Wke up with a scream
I was buying some feelings
From a vending machine
Say that I will see
Something more than I have
There's something inside of me
Crying out for something else
And if someone hears my scream
Put it in a letter to me
Slippery slidey road down
Life's an ocean too much commotion
Not enough emotion to satisfy me
Slippery slidey road down
It's slippery slidey road down
Hold my hand and we'll walk down
Dry those eyes and we'll walk down
Slippery slidey road down
Life's an ocean, life's an ocean
Too much commotion, too much emotion
Too mych comimotion, too much emotion
Dragging me down
Living for today, don't have time to pray
Ready for the game
Take a line of fickle flame
Wke up with a scream
I was buying some feelings
From a vending machine
Say that I will see
Something more than I have
There's something inside of me
Crying out for something else
And if someone hears my scream
Put it in a letter to me
Slippery slidey road down
Slippery slidey road down
It's slippery slidey road down
Dry those eyes and we'll walk down
Life's an ocean, life's an ocean
Too much commotion, too much emotion

What I love about Richard Ashcroft is his lyrics about being depressed. This song and especially the first verse is just IT.
Life is an ocean filled with so many emotions that you sometimes cannot stand it. So you get overwealmed by your feelings and you start to sink. Life without feelings would be awful, but at the same time living with them is sometimes even worse.
Its not just the lyrics, Nicks guitar playing is incredibly emotive. He had so much atmosphere to his playing, its a shmae we never ever see him doing anything now, he was a special talent.
I hate to use exclamation marks and smilies, but:
"Imagined the future Woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings From a vending machine"
BEST LYRICS EVER!!! =)
This song is sort of dystopic as in the line you just mentioned. It's like shutting down for a while and letting life toss and turn you until the storm clears and you can stand up again.
