Blood
Oceans Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And look like there's no way out
Try this and you will feel like you're God
But something will be taken away
Would you escape your fears
And your weakness?
I know you want to be first in this game
Oh
I can feel the air is poisonous
I should hold my breath
And follow everything
They would say to me
Oh, where do you go?
How do you know?
When will you fall?
No, that's not your fault
I play my role and death is my goal

I denied your existence
Now I feel this light
But I can't cover such a distance
All my life I was thinking
Time is ticking backwards
But life has no reverse
My life has no reverse
No, there is no way to escape
This red ocean around you

Where is your blood?
Where is your blood?
Where is your blood?
Red ocean around you
This is your blood
This is your blood
This is your blood
Red ocean around you
Blood
Blood
Blood
Feel free to taste your own blood
Your own blood
Your own blood
Pray your fucking God
Red ocean around you

Move

All hope left behind
Out of your mind
Out of your sight
You no longer fight
Frozen inside
You stand petrified
Alone
And looks like there's no way out
And looks like there's no way

I denied your existence
Now I feel this light
But I can't cover such a distance
All my life I was thinking
Time is ticking backwards




But life has no reverse
My life has no reverse

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oceans Red's song "Blood" are emotionally raw and haunting, touching on themes of despair, suffering, and ultimately, acceptance of one's fate. The verses depict a sense of powerlessness and desperation, with lines like "looks like there's no way out" and "where do you go? How do you know? When will you fall?" suggesting a feeling of being lost and overwhelmed. The reference to "red ocean" and "your own blood" gives the impression of violence or trauma, and the repeated refrain of "Where is your blood?" adds to the sense of unease.


However, amidst the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope. The lyric "I denied your existence / Now I feel this light" suggests a possible internal transformation, perhaps through finally acknowledging and accepting one's own vulnerabilities. The line "All my life I was thinking / Time is ticking backwards / But life has no reverse" highlights the futility of dwelling on the past and wishing for a do-over - life moves forward, whether we want it to or not. The final words of the song - "My life has no reverse" - are poignant and powerful, acknowledging the inevitability of death and the need to make peace with our own mortality.


Overall, the lyrics to "Blood" paint a vivid picture of darkness and despair, but also suggest the possibility of hope and acceptance in the face of adversity.

Can't get over how good this band STILL is in 2020. What a fucking BANGER!

bmxriderforlife1234

@Erik Jason nah they signed denis' band cause he had a following. You also forget his band mates from make me famous did another band that ended up signed until Denis caused issues for them then they got resigned.

Denis can't scream well. He can sing. If you didn't notice he was a band girl idiot. Label's loved that shit cause you could easily implant them if need be into certain bands and make it an instant fan base.

Also FYI. I was kinda heavily involved in the scene back then. Like in the sense of about to have a signed band.

Conor Davis

This is a wild take lmao

Erik Jason

@bmxriderforlife1234 but Sumerian Records dropped Make Me Famous when Denis out. Hell, they signed his bands Down & Dirty and Drag Me Out because they know the guy can sing and scream.

Besides, Make Me Famous was awesome even though I have to agree with Oceans Red, they were a better band. Their songwriting was fire.

bmxriderforlife1234

Ironically Denis stoff is the least talented from make me famous. Kicking him out and forming oceans red was an upgrade.

Jayce Michael

One thing I can say, I'm proud of them for not making a hate song towards Denis like W,IM did. Shows that these guys are here for the music and not the drama.

dannyphantom

Yep, I'm stoked for this new band they've made themselves into and album they'll be coming out with soon!!! I still like (and most likely always will) the "It's Now Or Never" album by MMF but after listening to all the drama they went through I thought that it would be better to part ways and start something new!!! Keep it real, guys you have my support!!!

Luke Seeley

Keep the music coming guys, I will support this band. You guys rock and showed everyone that Dennis wasn't the one making all the music

Mythz

still jamming ;)

Cody Honeycutt

This is badass, Denis stuff is good. This sounds better because it sounds more powerful in quality and has a lot more effects and better ideas. Clean vocals are different but in a good way to where it's not boring for once!
