Across the Ocean Lyrics

Cover art for Across the Ocean lyrics by Azure Ray

Maybe I'm looking too much into it ... but ever since my boyfriend and I broke up I've been finding that SO many Azure Ray songs have to do with relationships. Or I could just want them to be about relationships. Haha. Anyway ... this is what I think this song means:

It sounds like a girl who had a lover once. One she truly and wholeheartedly loved, but the lover passed away. So almost immediately after the passing, she traveled around the world, escaping the pain she felt by placing herself far away in unfamiliar lands. Then finally, after traveling in foreign surroundings, she finds herself in very familiar territory. Where her lover once lived. Then the line, "Remember I was always freezing / And now I'm covered up in snow" sounds like a metaphor to me. Like the girl kind of always took her lover for granted. So it's kind of like she's saying, "Remember I always complained about you never being there? But now you're really gone ..." As for the "Just give me some kind of sign / Is this the right place / Or the right time?", it really sounds like a, "Pinch me I'm dreaming," kind of thing. It sounds like she's using all of her foreign traveling (jet lag, you know) is a good excuse to ask, "Is this the right place or the right time?" kind of thing. Anyway ... that was probably a crappy interpretation, but it's what I think of it. XD
