Oceans
Majestic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left my heart wide open babe
So I can let you swim
You left my body
Hoping to be under your skin, nah
Well it set the waves in motion babe and now it's sinking in
Baby you, you did me in
And now I'm falling back again
You've got me oceans
You've got me oceans deep
You cut me open
You cut me oh so deep
You left it open
You left me oh so weak
You've got me oceans
You've got me oceans deep

I left the door wide open
I've always let you in
And now I'm sitting here choking
On your broken promises
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
You did me in
Now I'm sinking
Na Na Na Na

You said you never meant to hurt me
But you keep your secrets dirty
You said you loved me, she's nothing
But you chose this moment to shut me out

You said you never meant to hurt me
But you keep your secrets dirty
You said you loved me, she's nothing
But you chose this moment to shut me out

You've got me oceans
You've got me oceans deep
You cut me open
You cut me oh so deep
You left it open
You left me oh so weak
You've got me oceans
You've got me oceans deep

You've got me oceans
You've got me oceans deep
You cut me open
You cut me oh so deep
You left it open
You left me oh so weak




You've got me oceans
You've got me oceans deep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Majestic's song Oceans express the pain and vulnerability that comes with being in a toxic and unfulfilling relationship. The opening lines "I left my heart wide open babe, so I can let you swim, you left my body hoping to be under your skin" reveal that the singer of the song has given all of themselves to the person they love, only to have their love and trust betrayed. The chorus "You've got me oceans, you've got me oceans deep, you cut me open, you cut me oh so deep, you left it open, you left me oh so weak" further emphasizes the deep emotional wounds that have been inflicted by the other person.


The second verse continues with "I left the door wide open, I've always let you in, and now I'm sitting here choking on your broken promises". It is clear that the singer has been repeatedly let down by the other person's broken promises and has been left devastated as a result. The repetition of "you did me in" and "now I'm sinking" highlights the powerlessness and despair that the singer is feeling in the face of the other person's actions.


The bridge of the song "You said you never meant to hurt me, but you keep your secrets dirty, you said you loved me, she's nothing, but you chose this moment to shut me out" further explores the dynamics of the relationship and the other person's betrayal. Despite their claims of love, the other person keeps secrets and shuts the singer out, leaving them feeling isolated and alone. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the deep emotional impact that the other person's actions have had, leaving the singer feeling like they are drowning in an ocean of pain and hurt.


Line by Line Meaning

I left my heart wide open babe
I let you into my life and opened myself up completely to you


So I can let you swim
So you can come in and explore my world and me


You left my body
You left me physically, emotionally, and mentally


Hoping to be under your skin, nah
With the hope of coming closer to you and being a part of your life, but it didn't work out


Well it set the waves in motion babe and now it's sinking in
Your departure has created a ripple effect in my life and now I'm starting to feel the impact


Baby you, you did me in
Your actions have caused me pain and heartbreak


And now I'm falling back again
I'm going back to where I started—alone and hurt


You've got me oceans
You've got me feeling overwhelmed and lost


You've got me oceans deep
Your impact on me is profound and far-reaching


You cut me open
You've hurt me deeply and exposed my vulnerabilities


You cut me oh so deep
Your actions have hurt me on a very personal level


You left it open
You left my wounds exposed and unhealed


You left me oh so weak
Your actions have left me feeling helpless and vulnerable


I left the door wide open
I always let you come in and out of my life as you please


I've always let you in
I've never denied you access to my life and love


And now I'm sitting here choking
Your broken promises and departure have left me feeling suffocated


On your broken promises
Your promises of love and commitment have turned out to be false and empty


You said you never meant to hurt me
You claimed to have good intentions but your actions have caused me pain anyway


But you keep your secrets dirty
You're not being honest with me and hiding something from me


You said you loved me, she's nothing
You claimed to love me and told me that the other person meant nothing to you


But you chose this moment to shut me out
But now you're shutting me out and leaving me behind

I thought the track was going to get all loud and sound like a thousand arcade machines going off, but luckily it stayed sedate and soothing to the soul. Good work !
