Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear me
I'm calling out
Across the ocean
So far away
And your love reaches me
Can you hear me
I call your name
Across the ocean

I'm still here

And your love reaches me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hundred Year Storm's song "Reach" evoke an image of distance and longing. The singer appears to be separated from a loved one, perhaps by an ocean or physical distance, yet they still can feel the presence of their love. The repetition of "Can you hear me" and "Across the ocean" emphasizes the distance and the desperate plea for the loved one to hear their call. The phrase "And your love reaches me" not only conveys the strength of the love shared between the two individuals, but also represents the hope that the love is enough to overcome the distance and bring them back together.

Line by Line Meaning

Can you hear me
I wonder if my voice is reaching you

I'm calling out
I'm reaching for you, hoping to make a connection

Across the ocean
Despite the distance between us

So far away
Feeling distant and disconnected

And your love reaches me
I'm comforted by the thought that your love transcends distance

Can you hear me
Still wondering if you can hear me

I call your name
I long for your attention and recognition

Across the ocean
Still separated by a great distance

I'm still here
I haven't given up on us, despite the distance

And your love reaches me
Even though we're apart, I still feel the power of your love
