Give Me An Ocean
Mathilde Santing Lyrics

Give me a reason to follow
I need a purpose or motivation to keep going in this direction.

Give me a sign when to stop
I am looking for a signal or indication to know when to call it quits.

You never liked this confusion
You were never a fan of the chaos or disarray in our situation.

And I was prepared to give up
I was ready to throw in the towel and give up on this endeavor.

Show me what you have to offer
Demonstrate to me what value you can bring to the table.

Give me the right to say no
Allow me the freedom to decline or refuse any offers or suggestions.

Some of them asked me to stay here
Some people encouraged me to remain in this place or situation.

Some of them asked me to go
Conversely, some people advised me to leave or move on from this place or situation.

Something is left unspoken
There is something that is not being said or discussed openly.

The urge to be honest grows strong
I feel a strong desire to be truthful and straightforward about my feelings and thoughts.

My heart has refused to be broken
Despite the challenges and hardships, my emotions have remained resilient and unyielding.

My mind won't admit that I'm wrong
Even if I am mistaken or incorrect, I am unwilling to acknowledge or accept that fact.

I found my way to the crossroads
I have arrived at a critical juncture or decision point in my life.

But I had no reason to choose
Despite being at this crossroads, I am without a clear or compelling reason to choose one direction over another.

Without any sense of direction
I have no clear guidance or purpose in my current trajectory.

You were the perfect excuse
You provided a convenient justification or alibi for my lack of direction or purpose.

Always addicted to drama
I have a tendency to seek out or create unnecessary conflict or excitement in my life.

Safe in the eye of the storm
Despite the drama and chaos around me, I feel secure and protected in the midst of it all.

Doomed like a moth that is caught in
Like a moth drawn to a flame, I am unable to resist or escape from something that is ultimately harmful or dangerous.

The bright light to which it was drawn
This harmful or dangerous thing is alluring and captivating, like a bright light that attracts the moth.

(Give me something give me something)
This line is repeated as a plea or demand for something that will help or guide the artist.

I painted myself in a corner
I have backed myself into a problematic or difficult situation with no clear way out.

I couldn't afford having doubts
I did not have the luxury or option to question or second-guess my decisions or actions.

I cannot deny any longer
I can no longer ignore or suppress the truth or my feelings about the situation.

That I need your help to get out
I realize that I cannot extricate myself from this situation without assistance or support from someone else.

My heart takes the chance to be broken
I am willing to risk emotional pain or hurt in order to pursue a different path or make a change in my life.

My mind takes the risk that I'm wrong
I accept the possibility that my decision or perspective may be incorrect or flawed.

I could be wrong
This line is repeated as a moment of self-doubt or acknowledgement of the uncertainty and fallibility of one's own opinions or beliefs.

Give me a reason
This line is repeated as a request or demand for motivation or direction.
