Valleys of Neptune
Jimi Hendrix Lyrics

I feel the ocean swaying me

Washing away all my pains
The ocean is cleansing and healing the singer's emotional wounds

See where I was wounded,
The singer is acknowledging that they were once hurt or traumatized in some way

Remember the scar ?
Despite the acknowledgement of the previous injury, it's not visible anymore and the artist is asking if the listener remembers its existence

Now you can't see a thing
The previous injury is now completely healed and not visible anymore

And I feel no pain
The singer is no longer experiencing emotional pain due to the healing influence of the ocean
