Ocean
N.O.n Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never let
My guard go down
But you messed me up
When you came around
When the high wore off
Know you needed space
But I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna mistake

Few thousand miles and an ocean away
But I see the sunrise, oh, just like the other day
Picture your eyes as I fall asleep
Tell myself it's alright, oh oh, as the tears roll by

Ooh, I wish I could feel your face
Ooh, I'm helpless when I'm oceans away

I never felt
A room so still
See the future coming
Hope it isn't real
I learned to fake a smile
As the time runs out
I don't wanna wait
Oh, I don't wanna mistake

Few thousand miles and an ocean away
But I see the sunrise, oh, just like the other day
Picture your eyes as I fall asleep
Tell myself it's alright, oh, as the tears roll by

Ooh, I wish I could feel your face
Ooh, I'm helpless when I'm oceans away
Ooh, I wish I could feel your face
Ooh, I'm helpless when I'm oceans away

Oh, I'm helpless when I'm oceans away
I'm helpless when I'm oceans away




Ooh, I wish I could feel your face
Ooh, I'm helpless when I'm oceans away

Overall Meaning

They imagine seeing the sunrise and recalling the other person's eyes as they fall asleep, trying to convince themselves that everything is okay, even as tears roll down their face. The repetition of the lines "I wish I could feel your face" and "I'm helpless when I'm oceans away" emphasizes the deep longing and helplessness the singer feels due to the distance between them.

Ocean Sounds Dark Screen

When I was a child, whenever it rained my mum would wake my brother, sister and me up (my dad worked night),turn off all the lights and turn the sofa to face the windows. We would all sit there with hot chocolate and listen to the storm while waiting to see the lightning, we lived on a hill and could see for miles. We all grew up to absolutely love thunderstorms and do similar things with our children. I found out recently that my mum hated them and was terrified but by waking us up and pretending she loved them she found she could cope.

Don't care for fast cars, big mansions, luxury holidays or anything else, being able to be at the beach like this is enough for me

Ludo

I can’t wait until one day i live near the beach and can hear this sound all the time. Goodnight everyone and hope you sleep well 🌙💤😴 🌌

Dude... Nighttime at the beach is the most surreal thing ever. But it's also the most calming thing ever

Nice and relaxing 👌👍

I've worked at sea much of my life, and lived on the beach . i have watched quite a few of these seacoast videos, and i think that this is perhaps one that stands out above the rest . the beautiful scenery, with the natural sounds of the ocean, just melts stress away . it's primeval tones run deep in our subconscious . it's where we all come from.
