Ocean
Alok Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw an angel looking at me
All she wanted was to go to the sea

Don't worry, ma
'Cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Don't worry, ma
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm on my way to the ocean
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
To the ocean

Wish I told you I loved you more
Maybe I was lost before
Showed affection to only gold
While the sunset made me cold
Swear I won't complain no more
Doesn't matter if we're rich or poor
Found out that we don't live to die
Even though there is no reason why

Don't worry, ma
'Cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Don't worry, ma
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm on my way to the ocean
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
To the ocean

To the ocean, to the ocean, to the ocean
To the ocean
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh





To the ocean

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alok's song "Ocean" are like a journey towards personal growth and understanding. The opening lines "I saw an angel looking at me, all she wanted was to go to the sea" depict a moment of self-awareness where the singer sees the desire to break free from the mundane and embark on a journey towards something more profound. The word "angel" might be a metaphor for an inner voice calling out to the singer, highlighting that the desire to explore and discover more is an innate feeling within him.


In the following verse, the lyrics suggest that the singer might have been lost before and perhaps hadn't expressed love and affection as much as he should have. The words "showed affection to only gold, while the sunset made me cold" might imply that the singer was chasing material wealth, which left him feeling empty and unfulfilled. However, the situation has changed now, and he has realized that it's essential to appreciate the simple things in life, and the pursuit of material wealth is not the ultimate goal.


The chorus "Don't worry, ma, 'cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, Don't worry, ma, 'cause I'm on my way, I'm on my way to the ocean" repeats multiple times throughout the song and serves as a reassurance to oneself and others that the journey towards self-discovery might be challenging, but it's worth it. And even though the destination is uncertain, it's alright as long as the journey is in the right direction. The phrase "I'm on my way to the ocean" might represent the dream or the goal that the singer set for himself, which now seems more achievable and realistic than before.


In conclusion, "Ocean" by Alok is a beautiful melody that takes the listener on a journey of introspection towards self-discovery. The lyrics talk about realizing the importance of love, inner peace, and simplicity, which are essential for a wholesome and fulfilling life.

TRADUÇÃO
Eu vi um anjo olhando para mim
Seus olhos não abrem mais
Machucados, eles não podem ver
E então, eu chorei a noite toda
E eu não conseguia a dormir
Tudo que ela queria era ir para o mar

Não se preocupe, mãe
Porque eu não estou com medo, não estou com medo
Não se preocupe, mãe
porque eu estou em meu caminho, estou em meu caminho
Para o oceano

Eu vi um anjo, agora eu acredito
Suas lágrimas não caem mais
São as minhas que vc vê

Não se preocupe, mãe...

E agora eu entendo, agora ela está livre
Eu espero vê-la algum dia
Sorrindo para o mar

Não se preocupe, mãe...

Queria ter dito que te amava mais
Talvez eu estivesse perdido antes
Demonstrava afeição apenas pelo ouro
Enquanto o pôr do sol me tornava frio

Juro que não reclamarei mais
Não importa se formos ricos ou pobres
Aprendi que não vivemos para morrer
Mesmo que não exista motivo

E saiba que eu a ouvi chorar
Eu partirei, mas vc ficará bem
Não acho que vc estará sozinha agora
Perdoe-me se te decepcionei

Eu não reclamarei mais
Não importa se formos ricos ou pobres
Aprendi que não vivemos para morrer
Eu sei que existe um motivo (para o oceano)

Não se preocupe, mamãe...

lyrics for u guys <3
I saw an angel looking at me
Her eyes won't open no more
Hurt, they can't see
And then I cried all night
And I couldn't sleep
All she wanted was to go to the sea

Don't worry, ma'
'Cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Don't worry, ma'
'Cause I'm on my way, I'm on my way
To the ocean

To the ocean

I saw an angel, now, I believe
Her tears don't fall down no more
It's mine that you see

Don't worry, ma'
'Cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Don't worry, ma'
'Cause I'm on my way, I'm on my way
To the ocean

To the ocean
(To the ocean)
(To the ocean)
(To the ocean)

And now I understand, now she is free
I hope to see her someday
Smile in the sea

Don't worry, ma'
'Cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Don't worry, ma'
'Cause I'm on my way, I'm on my way
To the ocean

To the ocean

Wish I told you I loved you more
Maybe I was lost before
Showed affection to only gold
While the sunset made me cold

Swear I won't complain no more
Doesn't matter if we're rich or poor
Found out that we don't live to die
Even though there is no reason why

And know I heard you cry
I'll leave, but you'll be fine
I don't think you'll be lonely now
Forgive me if I let you down

I won't complain no more
Doesn't matter if we're rich or poor
I found out we don't live to die
I know there is a reason why (to the ocean)

Don't worry, mama
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
Don't worry, mama
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
To the ocean (to the ocean)

To the ocean

🌊🤍
