Because
Ocean Drive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Gilles]
Because, because, because of you.
Because, no time for sleeping because I'm falling in love with you baby
Because, no time for dreaming because, because of you.

[Oriska]
Toi et moi sur le chat, c'est comme une addiction.
Tu m'écris, tu me mates, coupe pas la connexion.
Mon corps sur ton écran, impossible d'effacer.
Totalement dépendant de ma sensualité.
[Gilles]
You don't see me, you don't care
And I'm just praying for something to share.
My heart burning, I want you know
It's so hard, I've waited for too long.

Because, no time for sleeping because I'm falling in love with you baby
Because, no time for dreaming because, because of you.
[Oriska]
Appelle-moi, rejoins-moi, écris-moi, connecte-toi.
Appelle-moi, rejoins-moi, écris-moi, connecte-toi.

Because, no time for sleeping because I'm falling in love with you baby
Because, no time for dreaming because, because of you.

Toi et moi sur le chat, c'est comme une addiction.
Tu m'écris, tu me mates, coupe pas la connexion.
Mon corps sur ton écran, impossible d'effacer.
Totalement dépendant de ma sensualité, de ma sensualité.
Totalement dépendant de ma sensualité.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Because" by Ocean Drive feat. DJ Oriska are a mix of French and English and talk about the addictive nature of online communication, specifically through chat. Gilles sings about falling in love with someone he can't physically be with, while Oriska portrays herself as someone who is completely dependent on the attention and validation she receives from her online presence. The chorus repeats the word "because," emphasizing that their actions and feelings are all because of the person they are communicating with online.


The use of French in the song adds an exotic and romantic element, and the contrast between Gilles' and Oriska's verses creates a dynamic story about the ups and downs of online relationships. The lyrics also illustrate the concept of instant gratification, as the need for online attention and validation becomes addictive and all-consuming. The repetition of the phrase "no time for sleeping" suggests that their online connection is more important than basic needs like rest and sleep, emphasizing the intensity of their emotions.

Une époque ou les belles histoires à travers une belle relation étaient encore à l'honneur. j'ai toujours adoré les titres de Ocean Drive et Benjamin Braxton, c'était hyper entrainant, les clips bien réalisés et propres. Une belle époque révolue limite devenue interdite.
