Oceans
Leo Stannard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold hands and heavy eyes
Pale face in the moonlight
Gotta run don't ask me why

I'm not low but I'm never high
I'm not sad but I never smile
I don't know how I feel inside at all
Ohhh

In the silence of my bedroom
All these cracks begin to show
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most
Searching oceans for something better
Edge it all but I didn't know
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most

Your touch and the way you move
I used to see right through
Shockwaves break me in two

I'm not low but I'm never high
I'm not sad but I never smile
I don't know how I feel inside at all
Ohhh

In the silence of my bedroom
All these cracks begin to show
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most
Searching oceans for something better
Edge it all but I didn't know
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most

I'm losing touch
I'm falling through the atmosphere
Just blaming love
I'm losing every single thing
I'm losing every single thing I know

In the silence of my bedroom
All these cracks begin to show
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most
Searching oceans for something better
Edge it all but I didn't know
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most

In the silence of my bedroom
All these cracks begin to show
Our memories together
are the ones I love the most
Searching oceans for something better
Edge it all but I didn't know




Our memories together
are the ones I love the most

Overall Meaning

The song “Oceans” by Leo Stannard is an emotional and introspective journey through the conflicting emotions of a failed relationship. The opening lines “Cold hands and heavy eyes, pale face in the moonlight, gotta run don't ask me why” sets the tone of the song as one of hesitation and restlessness. The following lines explore the emotional turmoil the singer is feeling as they struggle to reconcile their feelings with the end of their relationship. Lines like “I'm not low but I'm never high, I'm not sad but I never smile, I don't know how I feel inside at all” portrays the confusion and numbing detachment the singer feels, as they try to understand their own emotions.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of memories in the singer's life, particularly the memories they shared with their former partner. Lines like “In the silence of my bedroom, all these cracks begin to show, our memories together are the ones I love the most” detail the vulnerable and wistful state the singer finds themselves in. The second verse introduces an element of regret and longing, as the singer reflects on their former partner's touch and movement. However, this verse also shows the singer's growing sense of helplessness as they feel the relationship slipping away from them. The bridge of the song “I'm losing touch, I'm falling through the atmosphere, just blaming love, I'm losing every single thing, I'm losing every single thing I know” fully embodies the devastation the singer is feeling as they struggle to come to terms with the end of their relationship.
