Ocean
Kay-D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

鳴り砂を握りしめ
微かに聞こえるよ
波でここに運ばれた
世界中の声

風が止まり火が消えても海は生きている
闇に沈められた俺にも希望をくれる
孤独ではないんだ
君の声が聞こえる
泳ぐか沈むか
全ては自分次第

鮮やかな青に歌を聞かせてみれば
波に運ばれ君に届けてくれるから





母なる青い海が与えてくれた奇跡
君に伝えたい俺の想いを届けるよ

Overall Meaning

The song Ocean by Kay-D is a story of a man's love affair with a woman who he feels like he's losing grip on. The lyrics start with him asking the woman what she wants from him, he's aware that she's turning him away and he's trying to understand why. He's in love with her, but his friends tell him that she's not interested, and he's left wondering if they are right. He thought he had her heart, but she's playing with his emotions, and he can't guard his own heart anymore. He's afraid of losing her, and he's trying to hold onto his reputation and his sanity. The chorus has a lilting melody which offsets the angst in the lyrics, where Kay-D sings about feeling like he's floating when he's with her. Despite this, he knows that she's only there for the moment, and he's not sure how to handle his emotions. The bridge of the song is where Kay-D explains that he's had enough of the woman's games and he's ready to move on. He's made the mistake of trusting her in the past, and now he's too focused on protecting his heart to let anyone close.
