Words
Ocean Carolina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Past the aweful years
Your confusion
Words of you invite
In between days
No illusion
So I push the needle in the red
All the evil things I said arrive
Got no words but I can make this right
Gonna set me sights to you dear
Gonna throw my arms around
Gonna set my dial to you dear
Keep running
Can I find the freedom in the wheel
Got no words but I can make this right
Gonna set my sights to you dear
Gonna throw my arms around
Gonna set my dial to you dear
Keep running…
The lyrics to Ocean Carolina's song "Words" seem to describe the power of communication and its ability to bring people together after difficult times. The first few lines suggest that words have the power to heal the pain of past experiences. The following lines express the idea that communication can bring clarity and dispel confusion. The line "so I push the needle in the red" could represent a metaphorical turning up of the volume, emphasizing the importance of expressing oneself.
The chorus of the song expresses the desire to connect with someone on a deeper level. The lyrics "gonna set my sights to you dear" and "gonna throw my arms around" suggest an earnest attempt to reach out and connect with someone, despite any obstacles that may be in the way. The final line "keep running" could be interpreted as a message to the listener to keep striving to connect with those around them.
