Oceanwide
Halou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of this love, it overwhelms me
And now you want the distance
Of an ocean between us

I want you to know
That I will not give up on you

I thought that you could meet me half way
Figured that you could
I thought that you could love me
Figured that you’d fall

All of this love, it withers within me
And it’s not fair, no, it’s not fair
But, you never said it would be





I thought that you would be there
Figured that you would

Overall Meaning

understand me
I thought that you could hold me
Figured that you could stay


Halou's song "Oceanwide" is a deeply emotional track about a love that has reached a breaking point. The lyrics express an overwhelming feeling of love for someone, but the desire for distance at the same time. The singer wants the other person to know that she will not give up on the relationship, despite their desire for space between them. However, the love that she feels is not being reciprocated, and she feels like it's withering inside of her. She acknowledges that the situation is not fair but also admits that the other person never promised it would be.


The chorus expresses the singer's disappointment and feeling of betrayal. She thought that the other person could meet her halfway and love her, but it seems like that won't be the case. She had hoped that they could hold her and be there for her, but now she's questioning everything. Despite her heartbreak, she still holds onto the hope that the other person will come around and understand her feelings.
