OCEAN
Jessica & MY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Places near me where do I go
I'm saving photos I don't even think I like but
I guess I'm trying to find some better things to do
With you
But as I keep on scrolling down I'm like
Been here done that seen this
And have been doing it all over again
Let's flip the scenery page here
Nananananana Ah
Yeah let's race to the ocean
To the ocean
On waves or tides
Doesn't matter they all flow the same
Nananananana Ah
Yeah let's race to the ocean
To the ocean
So we can dive
Into living life in slow motion
Picnic basket in the trunk of your car
Windows down music loud
With the sun in your face
My legs up on the dash
And we're ready to go
Palm trees on the sides
Shades on
And we're finally onto something brand new
I'm like Woah No
Sit down and enjoy the view
Nananananana Ah
Yeah let's race to the ocean
To the ocean
On waves or tides
Doesn't matter they all flow the same
Nananananana Ah
Yeah let's race to the ocean
To the ocean
So we can dive
Into living life in slow motion
In the first verse, the lyrics depict the singer's aimless browsing through their phone, looking for something to do with their partner. They admit to saving photos they don't even like, indicating that they are trying to find new and exciting activities to enjoy with their loved one. However, they express a sense of repetition and boredom, feeling like they have already experienced and seen everything before. The "Woah no" suggests their desire to break away from this monotonous routine.
The chorus emphasizes the urge to escape to the ocean. It symbolizes a refreshing and liberating getaway from their current situation. Whether it's riding the waves or tides, the lyrics suggest that it doesn't matter as all water flows the same way. This metaphor implies that their escape doesn't have to be extravagant or meticulously planned; any change of scenery will suffice.
In the second verse, the lyrics paint a picture of a leisurely road trip to the beach. The singer describes the anticipation of the journey, with a picnic basket in the car trunk, windows down, and loud music. The mention of sunshine on their face and legs up on the dashboard conveys a carefree and contented atmosphere. They express excitement about embarking on something new and different, indicating a break from their previous cycle of mundane activities. The "Woah no" line signifies their realization that it's time to pause, appreciate the present moment, and take in the beautiful view.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the eagerness to reach the ocean as a metaphorical representation of a fresh start. The lyrics highlight that it doesn't matter whether they encounter waves or tides since they all flow the same. This suggests that no matter the obstacles or challenges they may encounter, they are determined to embrace a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle by immersing themselves in the experiences the ocean has to offer.
Overall, the song "Ocean" conveys the desire to break free from the monotony of everyday life and find joy in the simple, yet extraordinary moments with a loved one. It encourages the listener to seek new adventures, appreciate the beauty of the world around them, and embrace a slower pace of living. The ocean serves as a powerful symbol of change and rejuvenation, inspiring the singer to dive into a life lived in the present moment, where time slows down and every experience becomes meaningful.

Two hours in scrolling through my phone
I've been mindlessly wasting time on my phone for two hours
Places near me where do I go
I'm searching for nearby locations to visit
I'm saving photos I don't even think I like but
I'm keeping pictures that don't truly appeal to me
I guess I'm trying to find some better things to do
I'm attempting to discover more fulfilling activities
With you
Together with you
But as I keep on scrolling down I'm like
Continuously scrolling makes me think
Been here done that seen this
I've experienced and witnessed all this before
And have been doing it all over again
And I've been repeating the same actions
I'm like Woah no
I realize this isn't fulfilling
Let's flip the scenery page here
Let's change the environment and surroundings
Nananananana Ah
Expressing excitement
Yeah let's race to the ocean
Let's hurry and go to the ocean
To the ocean
Towards the vast sea
On waves or tides
Regardless of the specific water movement
Doesn't matter they all flow the same
It doesn't matter, as they all have a similar flow
Yeah let's race to the ocean
Yes, let's quickly reach the ocean
To the ocean
Towards the vast sea
So we can dive
So we can plunge into
Into living life in slow motion
Engaging in a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle
Picnic basket in the trunk of your car
A basket filled with food in the back of your vehicle
Windows down music loud
Open windows with loud music playing
With the sun in your face
With the sunlight shining on your face
My legs up on the dash
My legs resting on the dashboard
And we're ready to go
And we're prepared to start the journey
Palm trees on the sides
Palm trees lining the road
Shades on
Wearing sunglasses
And we're finally onto something brand new
And we're finally experiencing something fresh
I'm like Woah No
I'm surprised and excited
Sit down and enjoy the view
Let's sit down and appreciate the scenery
Nananananana Ah
Expressing excitement
Yeah let's race to the ocean
Yes, let's hurry and go to the ocean
To the ocean
Towards the vast sea
On waves or tides
Regardless of the specific water movement
Doesn't matter they all flow the same
It doesn't matter, as they all have a similar flow
Yeah let's race to the ocean
Yes, let's quickly reach the ocean
To the ocean
Towards the vast sea
So we can dive
So we can plunge into
Into living life in slow motion
Engaging in a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle
