Their self titled debut record, was produced by RED songwriter/guitarist Jasen Rauch and was mixed by Brian Virtue (Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, My chemical Romance, Cavo). The album is a refreshing blast of melodic hard/alternative rock, drawing deep from the band’s personal experiences. With the song, “See what I see,” lifting off from an infectious guitar riff into a blistering song with emotional lyrics in which lead vocalist/frontman Chris McCoy belts, “watch the world with bloodshot eyes/ maybe than Ill see what you see/a cold embrace that sucks you dry/ leaving you so sick and empty”. Just one listen is all it takes to realize that this band is the real deal. “Lyrically I came at this with my uncle in mind” States McCoy. “He passed away several years ago. The family watched him slowly kill himself through alcohol and It was a hard truth to deal with because he didn’t want to be helped.”
Oceans Divide was founded by lead vocalist/frontman Chris McCoy and guitarist Eric Varnell in Spokane, Wa. The duo solidified the line up with the addition of drummer Silas McQuain, and twin brothers Dan and John Goodman(Bass and Guitar respectiveley.)
“Although we’re a young band, we’ve all known each other for years” says McCoy. “The chemistry is great and we have the same goals musically. This band just feels right.”
Take the aggressive riffs of active rock, add it to the story telling of a modern day poet and the hooks and melody of what makes a song so infectious it stays stuck in your head for days and you begin to understand Oceans Divide.

Pay for dead i was barely breathing
Liny by on the hate inside on this memories
Gotta this tragedy

Like you watch me burn
Show me that you really want it
Swear me all your excuse Its
Tell me that you sorry that im meaning
Falling into your knees
And who to me and not the same
See you leave you're so self-to-feeding
Its not on my back still keeps me bleeding
You weaked lies every compromise
Fullly you can see all that you top for me

The song "Beg For Mercy" by Oceans Divide is a powerful and emotional expression of pain, betrayal, and revenge. The lyrics speak about a person who was hurt and betrayed by someone they trusted, and now they want to see their offender suffer in the same way they did. The first line, "Hard to believe you was so receiving," suggests that the singer was shocked that the other person could be so cold-hearted towards them. The next line, "Pay for dead I was barely breathing," reinforces the idea that the singer was hurt badly, both physically and emotionally.
The verse goes on to describe how the hate inside the singer's heart is fueled by the memories of what happened. The lines "Gotta this tragedy, I want to watch you suffer, Like you watch me burn," show the anger and desire for revenge that the singer is feeling. They want to see the other person experience the same pain that they did.
The chorus, "It better be called, Show me that you really want it, Swear me all your excuse, Tell me that you sorry that I'm leaving, Falling into your knees, And who to me is not the same," emphasizes the demand for an apology and repentance from the other person. The lines "Falling into your knees" and "Beg for mercy" at the end of the song further strengthen the idea that the singer wants their offender to suffer and apologize for what they did.
