Into the Ocean Lyrics

This song made more sense to me after I listened to "Hate Me." Near the end, when he says;

"I calculate what I had done Like jumping from the bow (yeah) Just to prove I knew how (yeah) It's midnight's late reminder of The loss of her, the one I love My will to quickly end it all"

It seems he's regretting his choice to tell the person he loves to leave for her own good, but he knows there's no going back. He made bad choices in his life, but now he regrets them. He tries to go back

"I want to swim away but don't know how"

but he realizes that he either he pushed everyone who could help away or they left him. Now he's all alone. In the end, he realizes his hopeless fate and then just gives up.

"Let the rain of what I feel right now come down Let the rain come down

Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)"

It's sad in the middle when he regrets his actions, but it gets lighter towards the end as recognizes his decisions and fades away. I really like this song because of the dynamic emotions involved. It's one of my favorites.
