Ocean
Paralysed Age Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling safe and warm now
But just as much betrayed
Your attraction drowns me in now
Although I'm feeling driven away
You take from me what I call my own
And you pour out what you call love
And this eternal up and down
Just like your mighty waves
Again and again

The ocean takes the ocean gives
And I'm entangled in my dreams
The ocean takes the ocean gives
My heart grows cold as cold as ice
The ocean takes the ocean gives
The deepest longing never ends
The ocean takes the ocean gives
And I'm in love with the fatal blue

Got the illusion swimming on the crowns
But landing soon in the deepest trough
I'm thinking just like you want me to do
But losing myself in a dangerous stream
Thoughts of happiness come out like drizzling rain
And you taught me to brighten a raging sea
Your endless beauty wearing the same face
The same face as your cruel storms
Again and again

Forgive my own tears
They shall not remain
Both bitter and sweet
In the driving rain
Forgive my own fears
They shall not remain




Hopeless in love
I'm in love with the fatal blue

on The Grave Shall Be Forever

The grave shall be forever, two fallen flames, still glow on and on,
illumination, and a strange desire, a blossoms for lovers, a lost and the gone,
The grave, shall be forever, The odor ,of heaven again,
The grave, shall be forever ,again, the fate is upon us, the undead has come,
Facing the love, just now or never, my love still glows, to be silent, forever~
The grave, shall be forever, again, hostile and warm, Farewell to the pain,
The grave, shall be forever, The odor, of heaven again,
The grave, shall be forever, again, the fate is upon us, the undead has come,
The grave, shall be forever, two fallen flames, still glow on and on,
illumination, and a strange desire, a blossoms for lovers, a lost and the gone,
A lost and the gone,
A lost and the gone,
A lost, and the gone.............
