Ocean
Celluloid Jam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me down
Tear my skin
Claw my heart
I can feel
I can feel
The water
Fill my lungs
Emptiness vastness
Everlasting darkness
Anchor me
To the sand
Underneath
This body is mine no longer
Scales creep up all over
Scales creep up all over
Seaweed chains
Let me go
Fins for wrists
Cool blood
I can feel
I can feel
The air
Fill my gills
Emptiness vastness
Everlasting darkness
Welcome me
To my home
Underneath
This body is mine no longer
Scales creep up all over
Scales creep up all over
The lyrics to Celluloid Jam's song "Ocean" are a metaphorical representation of transformation and acceptance in life. The song talks about a person who is being held down by seaweed chains that tear their skin and claw their heart, while they can feel the water filling their lungs, suffocating them. The person is in a state of emptiness and darkness, unable to escape the pain and misery. But as the song progresses, the lyrics show a transformation, where the person starts to accept their fate and welcome the change happening to them. The chains that were once holding them down now let them go, and they start to feel fins instead of wrists, with cool blood flowing through their veins. With the air filling their gills, the lyrics reflect a realization that this is their true home, under the vast emptiness of the ocean's depth.
The lyrics convey a deep sense of spirituality, portraying the poetic transformation of an individual's outlook towards their surroundings. The seaweed chains represent the burdens and constraints of life that can drag a person down, while the fins and scales represent the new form that they begin to take on. The darkness and emptiness serve as a metaphor for the unknown, the uncertain, and the mystery that life holds. The song conveys a message of embracing change, accepting transformation and making peace with the unknown aspects of life.
