Ol'e Nessie Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ddadutta

The title confuses the true meaning of the song. The lyrics themselves describe being separated from a loved one by some ulterior force. And then in a Mastodonic twist, physical imagery is added to give the lyrics a more metaphorical and symbolic feel. The lyrics of the song, when applied to the loch ness monster, creates a feeling of Nessie being trapped and separated from the other creatures of his kind, perhaps?

the only loved one in this song is the Ocean, its nessie who misses the Ocean.
