Ocean Eyes
Dakota Deyoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got the rhythm
Magic days
Night sleeps within them
Crazy sounds
Perfect estrangement
Lost with you
Wonder where my days went
I see sound
Ocean blue I must've drowned
Possibilities unfold
Can't be bought before you're sold
Make me dream what I think is real
Make me forget that I can feel
Make me move under the stars
Make me wish this night was ours
Call my name when you see fit
How can I get enough of it
Scream for God in sweet reprise
I dive in your ocean eyes
Purple foam crashes on the sand
Sinking starlight hand in hand
Feel your heat embrace the chill
Love me until your soul is filled
Partly shy, partly blind
No matter where it's you I find
Heaven hears our earthly sighs
And lives inside your ocean eyes
Make me dream what I think is real
Make me forget that I can feel
Make me move under the stars
Make me wish this night was ours
Call my name when you see fit
How can I get enough of it
Scream for God in sweet reprise
I dive in your ocean eyes
How can I get enough of it
Can't be bought before you're sold
I can feel
And lives inside your ocean eyes (Heaven's in your eyes)
Make me wish this night was ours
I can feel
Perfect estrangement
I dive in your ocean eyes
I dive in
Ocean eyes
I dive in your ocean eyes
Ocean eyes
Ocean eyes
Ocean eyes
Ocean eyes
In "Ocean Eyes" Dakota Deyoc sings about being lost and entranced in the world of his love interest. The crashing waves are a metaphor for how he feels around her - being swept away and carried along by the rhythm of their connection. He describes their time together as "magic days" and "crazy sounds" that create the perfect estrangement from the world around them. Despite his sense of being lost, he feels a deep sense of comfort when with her: "night sleeps within them".
As the song progresses, Deyoc goes on to describe the sensory experience of being with his love interest. He hears light and sees sound, and feels like he is drowning in her ocean blue eyes. He speaks of the potential that lies ahead - "possibilities unfold" - but acknowledges that these cannot be bought before they are sold. In the chorus, Deyoc asks his lover to make him dream and forget, to move under the stars and make him wish this night was theirs. He is desperate for more of her - to constantly hear his name, to scream for God in sweet reprise - and dives into her ocean eyes.
The song is a romantic and dreamy ode to the power of love and how it can be all-consuming. The metaphor of the ocean is present throughout, representing both the turbulence and the calm that comes with a deep connection.
