Love Me Like The World Is Ending

This is such a good song, but one thing annoys me every time. "I know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue."... Argh, just that line makes me cringe, as well all know it that the sky doesn't make the ocean blue, or even vice versa.

It seems to be a rather simple song to me, with a straightforward meaning.

To the comment above, ^^ the line that goes 'I know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue'...but the sky IS why the ocean's blue. One of the reasons, anyway. The other reason involves scattered light and the human eye only seeing the blue spectrum or something like that. Look it up, I didn't entirely understand it.

this song is so beautiful.

clearly his best song yet.

"i wear a pair of socks you left here. but i know ... nobody could ever fill your shoes."

"please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies"

"and they all say to pour it has to rain so don't complain if we get wet in the deep end."

love this song.

Beautiful song.

When he sings "there's a certain sadness. but i know, i know, i know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue." I think he is comparing the sky making the ocean "blue" (as in a blue mood but also the color blue as well) to sadness, and how there is a beauty to it. Like, the beautiful sky makes the beautiful ocean which is blue "blue". I think he's just trying to get at the fact that it's a sadness with a certain beauty too and things will be alright. I don't think he means literally, or like it's proven that the sky is what makes the ocean blue. I think it was a type of metaphor maybe.

If that makes sense :)

this song is really beautiful. and to those who are criticizing the fact that the sky is what makes the ocean blue, it's a song not an persuasive essay. this is songmeanings.net not criticalpointsonsongs.net.

"but i know, i know, i know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue"

He means the line more metaphorically, I'd say. He's saying that without the sky, the ocean is nothing. But when they are next to each other is when the ocean is truly beautiful. Representing how he feels about the girl, that she brings out the best in him.

good words :)
