"Ocean of Noise" as written by Win Butler, Regine Chassagne, Tim Kingsbury, Richard R Parry, William Butler and Jeremy Gara....
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell
As if I had a choice
Oh well!
Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep
Into an ocean of violence
A world of empty streets
You've got your reasons
And, me - I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Now who here among us
Still believes in choice?
Not I!
No way of knowing
What any man will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you
You've got your reasons
And, me - I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won't work it out
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won't work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out
'Cause time won't work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out
'Cause time won't work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out
I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell
As if I had a choice
Oh well!
Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep
Into an ocean of violence
A world of empty streets
You've got your reasons
And, me - I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Now who here among us
Still believes in choice?
Not I!
No way of knowing
What any man will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you
You've got your reasons
And, me - I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won't work it out
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won't work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out
'Cause time won't work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out
'Cause time won't work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out

Beautiful song. Uplifting. The music is very nostalgic for some reason.
The" Now who here among us still believes in choice? Not I"-part gets me every time.
To me, this is about a destructive relationship. Possibly even an one night stand.
Still believes in choice?
Not I" part is indeed amazing. It simply intensifies the song.
