Oceans
LESSDMV Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't see a single light
But i'm just waiting for you
It's so hard to tell apart
The different faces of god

Hold me like the sun
To my wounds
And so warm i'm writing love
On your bones

I'll tell you a secret
Now I can't hide my soul
Not from you
Your lips are coming down
And then my breath it's just gone

Alive or dead
Cold or warm
We will stay here
I'm begging you to come and

Hold me like the sun
To my wounds
And so warm i'm writing love
On your bones
It's a lovely way to recall

Oceans why?
My body is coming back to
Oceans Why?
My body is coming back to




And start again
Yeah again

Overall Meaning

In the song "Oceans" by LESSDMV, the lyrics describe a sense of longing and waiting for someone who holds a great deal of significance to the singer. The opening line "I can't see a single light" sets the tone for the song, establishing a sense of darkness, uncertainty and possibly loneliness. However, the singer is eagerly anticipating the presence of their loved one, as evidenced by the line "I'm just waiting for you." The next line, "It's so hard to tell apart The different faces of god", suggests that the singer may be struggling with their own sense of faith, perhaps clinging to the idea of the divine as a means of connection and hope.


As the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards a more intimate tone, with the metaphor of holding the sun to one's wounds and writing love on someone's bones. This suggests a sense of vulnerability and a deep emotional connection with the person being addressed in the song. The singer also reveals a secret to this person, suggesting a level of trust and intimacy that is not shared with anyone else. The final lines of the chorus, "Oceans why? My body is coming back to And start again Yeah again" seem to suggest a desire to start afresh, to leave the past behind and embark on a new journey with this significant person.
