The Ocean
Forgive-Me-Not Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never had to love and believe
Never thought that you are so cruel
Never had my mind so cool
Never shared my wisdom before
Never got all I've looked for
Never lost the life harmony
Never been but I wanted to be
I wander around your shore of life
And see there dying people
They ask my night to share with them forever...oh! never
Never shown my sympathy
Never loved my enemies
Never heard fabulous sounds
Never let somebody down
Never played fanciful games
Never stood under the rain
Never charmed my destiny
Never been but I wanted to be
The ocean of your eyes
I wander around your shore of life
And see there dying people
They ask my night to share with them forever...oh! never
The waves of your ocean held me here
I have to choose: to live or to die
Birds fly above the waves of fear
They disappear every night
I wander around your shore of life
And see there dying people
They ask my night to share with them forever...oh! Never...
The lyrics of Forgive-Me-Not's song "The Ocean" explore the idea of regret and missed opportunities. The singer begins by reflecting on their life and acknowledging that they had never desired to live or love anyone. They also talk about feeling cool and detached, which suggests a sense of emotional numbness. They lament that they never shared their wisdom or found everything they were looking for - it's as though they feel they wasted their potential. The chorus focuses on the idea of the ocean of someone's eyes, which seems to be a metaphor for deep emotional connection that the singer never achieved.
As the song progresses, the singer describes wandering around the shore of someone's life and seeing dying people who ask to share their night forever. This could be interpreted as a reference to death, or perhaps a more metaphorical sense of missing out on meaningful connections with others. The singer reflects on never having shown sympathy or loved their enemies, as well as never experiencing the joy of fanciful games or the beauty of nature.
The final verse introduces a sense of choice, as the singer acknowledges being held by the waves of someone's ocean and needing to choose whether to live or die. The symbolism of birds flying above the waves of fear and disappearing every night seems to suggest the transience of life and the inevitability of change. Ultimately, the singer concludes that they will never choose to share their night with the dying people on the shore - they seem resigned to a life of regret.
