Oceans Of Time
Axel Rudi Pell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you turning, turning away
And we're ready to leave, to the bridges of sin yeah

Seven wonders, we are ready to fly
Like an eagle, we're touching the sky

We sailed across the ocean
On the wind of the sea
We're sailing on the oceans of time
We're moving through the twilight
Passed the black moon on our way
We're sailing on the oceans of time

As the sun fades to dark light we knew
There was no way to return
All the stars were passing by, we're riding through the sky
On our endless journey through space

Seven wonders, we are ready to fly
Like an eagle, we are touching the sky

We sailed across the ocean
On the wind of the sea
We're sailing on the oceans of time
We're moving through the twilight
Passed the black moon on our way
We're sailing on the oceans of time

The dust turned to stone, and the black moon touched the dawn
As we tried to get out, of this world of burning fear ooooooh

Seven wonders, and we're ready to fly
Like an eagle, we're touching the sky

We sailed across the ocean
On the wind of the sea
We're sailing on the oceans of time
We're moving through the twilight
Passed the black moon on our way
We're sailing on the oceans of time

We're sailing on
The oceans of time
And never look back oh
We're sailing on
On time

I see you turn
And sailing away
(We'll never go back there)
We're sailing on
The oceans of time

We're sailing on
The oceans of time
Oceans of time
Don't turn away
Don't turn a-don't turn away

Don't turn away
The oceans of time

We sailed across the ocean
On the wind of the sea
We're sailing on the oceans of time
Oceans of time




The oceans of time
Don't turn away

Overall Meaning

The song "Oceans of Time" by Axel Rudi Pell refers to the journey of life, symbolized by a journey across the ocean. The song talks about leaving behind past mistakes by sailing away from them and moving towards the unknown future. The singer says that they have left those bridges of sin behind and they are ready to fly like an eagle, touching the sky.


The seven wonders mentioned in the song may refer to anything that is difficult to achieve or overcome. It could be a metaphor for the obstacles in one's life, which they are preparing to face, confident in their ability to overcome them. As they sail across the ocean on the wind of the sea, they are moving through the twilight, passed the black moon on their way, symbolizing the challenges they will face along their journey. The riders are now embarking on an endless journey through space, passing all the stars along the way, suggesting that they are going through life's challenges and obstacles.


The singer suggests that there might be no way to return after the journey starts, and they will be sailing on the oceans of time. As they go deeper into the unknown future, the past will turn to dust, and the present will turn to stone. They will face their fears and try to get out of the world of burning fear. The singer won't turn back after embarking on this journey; they will look straight ahead and move only forward.
