Devotion
Flara K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keeps on bringing us closer
If you feel the same then just say
Let the feeling take over, over
No need to fake it
'Cause my heart is breaking
When I'm here alone without you
If you feel the same then just say
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet, it flows with sweet devotion baby
I think it's time
There's a vibe
And it's bringing us closer
I know you feel the same
'Cause you said baby come on get closer, closer
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet, it flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet, it flows with sweet devotion baby
You can talk the art of war
But I make the art of love
Higher than a bird migrating to the south
Diamond in the rough, fresh to the touch
Find me like your car keys when you're in a rush
I'll be the cold side of your pillow, OK
And you can ride me like a billow, OK
You're un-escapable, I'm falling for it
Oh na na, get down for a minute
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet, it flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet devotion baby
Your love is like an ocean baby
It flows with sweet, it flows with sweet devotion baby

The opening lines suggest that time has brought the singer and the object of her affection closer together, and she urges them to acknowledge their feelings and let them take over. The repetition of "Let the feeling take over" gives the song a dreamy quality and reinforces the idea that the attraction between the two people is powerful and irresistible.
The chorus uses the metaphor of an ocean to describe the depth and intensity of the singer's emotions. The flow of the ocean represents the sweet devotion that the singer feels for their love interest. The repetition of the chorus several times throughout the song emphasizes the strength of this feeling and the importance of expressing it.

They describe themselves as a diamond in the rough, fresh to the touch, and desirable like car keys in a rush. The final lines suggest that the singer is falling for their love interest and cannot escape the powerful emotions that they elicit.

Shakur Ahmad is criminally underrated. He's taking songs that I would never have found out about that are great in their own regard and then putting his own twist on them. So glad I discovered you!
