The Ocean
E.V.O.: Search for Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean and I can't even swim
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning. I can't even breathe
I'm falling, falling, falling, falling, falling way too deep
I'm always climbing mountains that are way too fucking steep
And I can't even take your heart and you said you would never leave
Never leave my side, never break my heart, no
All you ever did was saying you would stay
Then go and all I ever wanted was your head on my shoulder
Now we are drifting apart, drifting out on the ocean
I'm gonna starve, gonna die in slow-motion
You took my heart, left my side, now it's broken
I'm full of scars and you still think I'm joking
When I am talking about my emotions
Talking about how I'm bleeding so slow
And talking about how I'm losing control
When you're not around so that I cannot hold you
I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean and I can't even swim
I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean and I can't even swim
I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean and I can't even swim
I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean, I'm lost in the ocean and I can't even swim

Feeling overwhelmed and powerless in the face of their struggles and emotions
When you're not around so that I cannot hold you
Missing the person they loved and feeling like they have lost a vital source of comfort and support

Joaquim Sosa
Many said that in other themes, but I think it's true this time. It's relatively simple and easygoing, filled with wonder, just like the earlier parts of the game.

@juju gezinha por que é melancolia, introspectiva... Eu gosto bastante dessa melodia, é como se eu estivesse conversando comigo mesmo.
