Ocean
LIGULA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can you hold the swell?
I'm the tide but you're the moon
Have you ever hesitated?
Swimming on my drowning hopes
Believing they would never sink
Gone, gone, gone
I'm a dreamer
And you're the fucking nightmare
Like the ocean's
Like the ocean's
To the rain
I'm falling down cause you're gravity
Plucked the feathers off my wings
Like one thought in the whole humanity
Which never blazed its trail
Swimming on my drowning hopes
Believing they would never sink
They've just gone, gone, gone my lady
Gone, gone, gone
Sail away, you better come back home
Sail away, you better come back home
You better come back home
I'm the lawyer you're the law
I'm a dreamer
And you're the fucking nightmare
Like the ocean's
Like the ocean's
To the rain

The song "Ocean" by LIGULA is a powerful and emotional ballad that explores the themes of power dynamics, control, and the ebbs and flows of life. The opening lines, "I'm the lawyer, you're the law, how can you hold the swell?" sets the tone for the rest of the song's exploration of these themes. The singer implies that they are in a position of power or influence, but they feel powerless in the face of their emotions.
The next set of lines, "I'm the tide but you're the moon, have you ever hesitated?" continues the metaphor of the ocean and its powerful forces. The moon controls the tides, and the singer implies that their emotions are similarly controlled by someone else. The line "have you ever hesitated?" suggests that the person they are addressing may not fully understand the power they hold.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "like the ocean's to the rain," a metaphor that highlights the cyclical nature of emotions and the inevitability of change. The singer also mentions being a dreamer and their counterpart being a nightmare, indicating a potential power imbalance in the relationship.
The bridge of the song references the singer's metaphorical wings being stripped away, suggesting a loss of hope or agency in their life. The closing lines, "Sail away, you better come back home, you better come back home" offer a plea for someone to return, potentially the person who holds power over the singer.
Overall, "Ocean" is a poignant and heartfelt exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the emotions they can unleash.

I'm the lawyer, you're the law
I hold power in this relationship
How can you hold the swell?
How can you handle the chaos and unpredictability of life?
I'm the tide but you're the moon
I am influenced by you and controlled by your pull
Have you ever hesitated?
Have you ever second-guessed our dynamic?
Swimming on my drowning hopes
I am trying to keep my hopes above water
Believing they would never sink
Thinking my hopes are invincible
They've just gone, gone, gone
My hopes have been shattered and lost forever
I'm a dreamer
I am an idealist with a vivid imagination
And you're the fucking nightmare
You are the opposing force to my dreams
Like the ocean's
Like the vast and overwhelming nature of the ocean
To the rain
To the tears and emotions that come with it
I'm falling down cause you're gravity
I am being pulled down by your influence
Plucked the feathers off my wings
You have taken away my ability to fly freely
Like one thought in the whole humanity
Like a solitary perspective in a world full of diverse opinions
Which never blazed its trail
That thought never stood out or left a lasting impression
Sail away, you better come back home
Take a break and come back to me soon
You better come back home
I need you by my side
