Let Me
OUR OCEANS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my heart and let me breathe
Cause I want to believe
In my pale deceit and my gentle qualities
Let me be, just me

Feed me the cold blood of fear and despair

Take my hand and let me be
Cause I want them to see
My hollow eyes and gentle smile
Let me breathe and die

Feed me the blood of love and trust
Set me free





Love and trust
Set me free

This album has never ceased to amaze me since its release. There's always something new to hear every time I listen to it. The harmonic content and sound pallete is of a different world. I couldn't stop smiling listening to the pure brilliance of the section at 22:15 of the layered guitar melodies going on. At 9:40 the descending chromatic scream is unreal.

@apocalypsedream8860

This album is a breath for the soul, simply a work of art.
Yes, 'cynic' has been an inspiration for Tymon Kruidenier, but this album is totally unique, it has its own essence.

@tronlady1

Omfg they released a new album a year ago and it got even less views than this…… I had no idea. Possibly the most underrated band on the planet 😢

@adnelyngstadnilsen5500

Thank you for uploading the whole album! This album has to be the best thing that has happened to me in a long while, absolute masterpiece!

@cjchess1

If I had the money, I would buy this album based just on the first song. Thanks to these songs, I saw the first sight of my soul in months. Keep doing what you are doing!
