The Ocean Lyrics
All around
I see you're under my skin
Cruel to say
I've known the best of my life
Never again to hear
The rivers' song so clear
Everyday's another scene
The world around and everything for you
An open door a cauldron of
Waves rush in through every house for all
So they say another lie:
'Love's a rumor
But love will die'
We're lost and wandering
Deep in the ocean
There lies a wave for you
When you hit the ground
It's hard to speak
But its who you are
A shining star
Go
Tell the millions begin!
We'll run through the fields
The turning of wheels
Down with the buildings
Worlds on your shoulders
Climb through the wasteland
Wait for the sky to remind you
These things are true
Everyday's another scene
The world around and everything for you
An open door a cauldron of
Waves rush in through every house for all
So they say another lie:
'Love's a rumor
But love will die'
We're lost and wandering
Deep in the ocean
There lies a wave for you
When you hit the ground
It's hard to speak
But its who you are
A shining star
Go
Tell the millions begin!
We'll run through the fields
The turning of wheels
Down with the buildings
Worlds on your shoulders
Climb through the wasteland
Wait for the sky to remind you
These things are true
About the day
atticusf04 - I think you've got the concept of the song completely wrong.
Instead of encouraging death, I think it's more.. encouraging life. The lines 'deep in the ocean, there lies a wave for you' means to me that no matter how terrible life can be, there will still always be someone or something out there to keep you going.. save you almost.
Then the words, 'When you hit the ground, it's hard to speak but it's who you are.. A shining star' says to me that you may have fallen down in life but you're still special and have your purpose in life, even if you don't agree.
Again, the lines 'every day's another scene' etc seems like Enigk is saying that every day will be different in some way.
Of course, I could go on forever and over-analyse every single line purely because I have listened to this song on repeat when I've been happy, sad, depressed and damn near suicide and I must say that it definitely sparks off hope in my whenever I hear this.
Whew, glad I got that out my system. ;-)
When he is speaking of love, I do not think he means it for a relationship with one other person. I feel that he is singing about love for all; love for life, love for people, and love for all the things around him.
This song is about life in general. "There is a purpose for us all," I think would be a way to translate, "there lies a wave for you."
This song is absolutely beautiful.
This song just pulls you in..... Its so pretty!
this is yet another wonderful song form sunny day real estate
a shining star
wow. its been about a year since i first listened to this song and here i am. again.
i don't even remember being here.
best song on the rising tide. actually, just a super good song. the lyrics and the music give me goosebumps
A haunting song by a truly great band
"so they say another lie: love's a rumor, the love will die"
and maybe the waves that lie in the ocean somewhere for each os uf... are our true loves. haha cheesy, but i think it works.
this song is amazing. just like sdre... and basically everything theyve ever done. ever.
