1) Florencia "Flor" Caserta (born April 13, 1984) is an Argentine female pop and rock singer.
Caserta was born in El Palomar, Buenos Aires. She met Pablo Romero, singer of the band Árbol, who heard her singing and invited her to make a disc of covers from different bands from El Oeste (the western zone of Greater Buenos Aires). It was there that she recorded her first song, “Mañana en el Abasto”, by Sumo.

After that, they proposed that she record some demos of pop music. The process lasted two years, until they obtained five songs which they presented to producer Gustavo Santaolalla.

2) Flor is a musical project of vocalist Zachary Grace, bassist Dylan William, guitarist McKinley Kitts, and drummer Kyle Hill. Their musical style is described by them as a "blend of indie rock and synth pop into an atmospherically hooky sound".
The band got its start in Hood River, Oregon, when Grace experimented with electronic musical programs to make "ear catching synth sounds." William would then build tracks around these snippets, turning them into songs that, while based on 80s sounds, were updated for the 21st century. Flor would also work with photographer/designer Jade Ehlers, who made visuals for the band; meanwhile, William established himself as a producer working with Flor, as well as artists like Halsey and Lostboycrow. The band would release their debut single, "Heart," online in 2014, with the Sounds EP arriving that October. Following the release of the 2015 full-length Sights & Sounds, Flor signed to Fueled by Ramen in 2016, which reissued the Sounds EP that February. The band's first album for the label, come out. you're hiding, was released in May 2017. Featured on the album was the single "Guarded." After releasing a single in 2018 called "Get Behind This", they would later release the ley lines album, then the Reimagined EP on 2020 with a guest collaborator, MisterWives, on their cover of Coldplay's "Yellow". In 2022, they released the EP "Skate/Big Shot/Play Along", which contain 3 titular tracks that are planned to be released on their future album, Future Shine.

Ocean
Flor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coming in like the ocean;
Sneak waves.
Trying to overwhelm me,
But he couldn't put out my fire;
fire;
fire, from my heartbeat
And if you asked me
if I bit

Off a
Little bit
more than I could chew;
I wouldn't lie to you.
But I can't let you through.
All around me,
Last thing I need, is is your warm face going cold.
Please stay around me, long as you keep that comfort close.
Everything that I want and
need is
something for you to take
but you can't take out my fire;
fire;
fire, from my heart beat.
All around me,
last thing I need, is your warm face going cold.
Please stay around me, long as you keep that comfort close.
All around me,
Last thing I need, is your warm face going cold.
Please stay around me, long as you keep that comfort close.
How many times I
gave myself over.
Lost what I loved in your changing tides.
Every word you
use to wash over
all of the flame.
I'll keep myself dry.
All around me,
Last thing I need, is your warm face going cold.
Please stay around me, long as you keep that comfort close.
All around me,

Last thing I need, is your warm face going cold.
So, please stay around me, long as you keep that comfort close.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Flor's song "Ocean" can be interpreted as a metaphor for a relationship. The singer compares her partner to the ocean, saying he comes in like sneak waves that try to overwhelm her. However, she asserts that he couldn't put out her fire, which represents her passion and inner strength. The lyrics suggest that the relationship may have been challenging or overwhelming at times, but the singer is determined to hold onto her independence and strength.

The chorus of the song repeats the message that the singer doesn't want her partner to leave her, but she doesn't want him to change or take away her sense of security. The lyrics talk about the changing tides of the ocean, which can represent the changing nature of relationships. The singer acknowledges that she has given herself over to her partner in the past, but she has also lost things that she loved in the process. She asserts that she will keep herself dry and maintain her strength, even when the waves of the ocean threaten to wash over her.
