Ocean Jet debuted with the single «Distant» in November 2013. In less than a month the song spread through social networks with incredible speed. It took less than three weeks to get a huge amount of positive feedback and reviews, gathering more than 1,500 subscribers to the official VK community, and the number keeps growing. The band receives a lot of feedback from all over the globe.
On December 25, 2013 Ocean Jet released an EP called «Echoes», which included four tracks. In 2014 the band began preparing for live shows, which will consist of songs from the EP, and a few other songs that were written specially for their live performances.
The music style of the band can’t be assigned to any particular genre, it’s more of a mix of many. The uniqueness of each track shows in an unusual and soulful vocal, and an intriguing and balanced arrangement. Fans defined the style as indie/electronic.
The name Ocean Jet doesn’t have any specific meaning, according to the band, but instead emphasizes the atmosphere that they create with their songs. The mix of a spacious and undisturbed ocean with an uncontrollable storm.

Ocean Jet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bite the bullet from the start
I balance on a wire
Between the gutter and the stars
The price that I should pay
Is higher than I thought
There's something I should gain
I tried to cut the ropes to get off the ground
But still I could not have fled
My heavy anchors will be weighting me down
Till I paint my sails in red
I'll never tell you why
I keep my secrets in the box
You know how hard I've tried
To beat my way through ash and dust
The price that I should pay
Is higher than I thought
There's something I should gain
Walking tall against the rain
The lyrics to Ocean Jet's "In Red" describe someone who is willing to take risks and face the consequences. The opening lines, "Don't ever ask me why / I bite the bullet from the start," suggest that the singer is aware that their choices might cause them harm, but they are not afraid to take them anyway. The following line, "I balance on a wire / Between the gutter and the stars," further emphasizes the risky nature of the singer's choices. They are walking a tightrope between success and failure.
The second verse expands on the theme of risk-taking. "I tried to cut the ropes to get off the ground / But still I could not have fled / My heavy anchors will be weighing me down / Till I paint my sails in red," suggests that the singer has attempted to break free from their current situation, but their past mistakes are holding them back. They must continue to take risks and make bold decisions in order to advance.
The chorus provides a bit of hope for the singer's situation. "The price that I should pay / Is higher than I thought / There's something I should gain / Walking tall against the rain," suggests that there is a reward for the singer's bravery. They may face challenges, but if they persist, they will come out stronger on the other side. The final verse returns to the idea of secrecy, hinting that the singer's choices may have been influenced by past trauma or pain.

Don't ever ask me why
I don't have a clear explanation for my actions
I bite the bullet from the start
I'm willing to endure pain to achieve something
I balance on a wire
I'm in a precarious position
Between the gutter and the stars
Between the lowest and the highest points in life
The price that I should pay
The cost of my actions
Is higher than I thought
It's more than what I expected
There's something I should gain
There's something I'm trying to achieve
Walking tall against the rain
Braving the challenges that come my way with confidence
I tried to cut the ropes to get off the ground
I attempted to break free from my limitations
But still I could not have fled
But I couldn't escape
My heavy anchors will be weighting me down
My burdens are holding me back
Till I paint my sails in red
Until I make a bold move and take risks
I'll never tell you why
I'll keep my reasons hidden
I keep my secrets in the box
I don't want to share my thoughts or feelings
You know how hard I've tried
You're aware of my efforts
To beat my way through ash and dust
To overcome the obstacles and challenges in my life
