This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
There's an ocean in my heart
Of past memories
And it runs through my soul
To the heart of the sea
We shared our hopes dreams and fears
But you faded through the years
Now inside my heart cries
An ocean of tears
Well I've cried you an ocean
Don't you know?
Without one single notion
You left me alone
If only wings of emotion
Could carry you home
Please don't leave me here
I'm crying an ocean of tears
Now all I ask is for
One last memory
Tell me is it too late?
Are you too far gone to stay?
Now I am sure
You're with your one true North
But I'd do anything
Just to see you again
Well I've cried you an ocean
Don't you know?
Without one single notion
You left me alone
If only wings of emotion
Could carry you home
Please don't leave me here
I'm drowning in my ocean of tears
Baby look in my eyes
A million tears have gone by
And still they're not dry
Well I'd give anything
For one last chance
For one last dance
Well I'd hold you close
And say the words
I never got to say the words
How could I never say those words
How could I never tell you
Just how much
I love you
There's an ocean in my heart
And it runs through my soul
Baby, please don't leave me here
I'm crying an ocean of tears
Of past memories
And it runs through my soul
To the heart of the sea
We shared our hopes dreams and fears
But you faded through the years
Now inside my heart cries
An ocean of tears
Well I've cried you an ocean
Don't you know?
Without one single notion
You left me alone
If only wings of emotion
Could carry you home
Please don't leave me here
I'm crying an ocean of tears
Now all I ask is for
One last memory
Tell me is it too late?
Are you too far gone to stay?
Now I am sure
You're with your one true North
But I'd do anything
Just to see you again
Well I've cried you an ocean
Don't you know?
Without one single notion
You left me alone
If only wings of emotion
Could carry you home
Please don't leave me here
I'm drowning in my ocean of tears
Baby look in my eyes
A million tears have gone by
And still they're not dry
Well I'd give anything
For one last chance
For one last dance
Well I'd hold you close
And say the words
I never got to say the words
How could I never say those words
How could I never tell you
Just how much
I love you
There's an ocean in my heart
And it runs through my soul
Baby, please don't leave me here
I'm crying an ocean of tears

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
