Ocean
Anuv Jain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your life is the ocean
And your heart is a wave
Like a dog in the sun
I found my peace in your storm

As I sail for days
I keep drowning away
Would my sailors forgive me
For feeling this way

You said, "Hey Mister!
Do follow through
Let's go and build a house
Big enough to fit us two

We'll weave a castle there
The castle of our dreams
My knight in dining armour
And I your blanket queen"

Girl, you're just like that pretty house
With wooden beams, you're facing south
You are my shelter, you are my little home
Your walls are painted pink and green

With a hint of tangerine, I see
A crack in the window
I'm waking up to hold you
Your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine

'Cause your life is the ocean
And your heart is a wave
Like a dog in the sun
I found my peace in your storm

As I sail for days
I keep drowning away
Would my sailors forgive me
For feeling this way

As days turn into years
Got more than I deserve
There's so much left to learn
As I flip through pages

As sweet as crème brûlée
These memories we've made
Now let me take your hand
And offer a lifetime

'Cause darling all these years have gone
Just as the tree we sat upon
So afraid to fall, the way we laughed
We made it through

My sailors they have come 'round
Their ballads bring a different sound
I guess they all have drowned in love with you
The way I have too

'Cause your life is the ocean
And your heart the biggest wave
Like a dog in the sun
I found my peace in your storm

As I sail for days
I keep on drowning
Drowning away




Would the gods forgive me
For feeling this way

Overall Meaning

The song "Ocean" by Anuv Jain shows how his lover is compared to the ocean with her life being the vast sea and her heart being a wave. Although the ocean may seem tumultuous and chaotic, to Anuv Jain, it is peaceful as he finds solace in her storm. However, even though he has found love and happiness, there is a sense of guilt that creeps in as he thinks about his sailors who might not forgive him for feeling this way.


Anuv Jain's significant other is like a house: a shelter and a home. The walls of her home are painted in pink and green with hints of tangerine, representing the bright and vibrant nature of their relationship. Even though there are cracks in the window to highlight her imperfections, Anuv Jain wakes up to hold her, and he feels that her blemishes and tragedies are also his own.


Anuv Jain reminisces about the memories that they created and how much he has learned from her over the years. He offers her a lifetime together and says that just like the tree they sat upon, they have made it through their struggles and have come out together. His sailors have also possibly drowned in love with her, just like he has. Through this song, Anuv Jain expresses his love and gratitude towards his partner and how much her mere presence means to him.

@karnokkantisutar237

@@mainakdebmandal1960 , I am not good at elaborating. But trying my best.
Knight is a tag for skilled warriors at medieval age in Europe.
//Giants kidnap princess, Knight rescues her and then they get married and live in a beautiful castle.// This is a popular theme for many old Fairytales .
Here the same storyline is recreated in this two lines - They build a CASTLE in their dream, He is the KNIGHT and she is the QUEEN. But instead of armed with sword, shield or armour he is armed with dining utensils. Instead of killing he is doing household work.

Also from the theme i have told earlier, a phrase (KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR) has emerged.

//Knight in shining armour refers to A VALOROUS, MACHOISTIC MAN, who comes to the rescue of a woman in a difficult situation. //

Here SHINING is changed by DINING. Which means, women doesn't want to be protected or rescued but cared for.

"Hey Mister!

Girl you're just like that pretty house
with wooden beams, you're facing south

Your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine.
