Pete Philly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so I'm back to carry in the European west of my back
and turn ain't broke till won't fix it
especially some rhyme of my phone is gonna miss it
bout to visit stay on the round
givin all of my people for every people everywhere a shout
without being explicit .needed the time out
now I'm solo like before making my home beat changin my own .
learning some new math, .of my own store
and there's so much more
in this music thing I so adore
so I just said play the I'm doing the M creator
ain't gonna hear my tunes no more
but that was acting over acting
something that .in the mid day out
but I won't let it hour above me
love me, hate me, gave me power.
Hook:
I've caused the ocean
I know I'm supposed to let my mind in
please
Every verse that I spit is just another piece of my puzzle
and now I admit despite all of my whit
I'm puzzling and I admit
despite all of my whit I'm stay puzzle and try to come to cript
and my church is no religion my .has no fine
since the birth of main kind we can try to move forward
while our pressure rewind and I'm no better at least you go get her
a lazy go get her . without a vendetta
the blue .to happiness I will follow with.
but till it ain't, I'ma make my own
and meditate in the middle of the dangerous on
2 x Hook:
I've caused the ocean
I've travel to see
get in a bit closer to where I should be
I know I'm supposed to let my mind in
please
In "Ocean," Pete Philly explores his love for music and the journey he's taken to get to where he is now. The opening lyrics suggest that he's returning to Europe to continue pursuing his music career, and his confidence shines through with the line "ain't broke till won't fix it." He acknowledges that there's a risk in making music and putting it out there, as some people might not appreciate it, but he's still willing to shout out to all of his fans, old and new. He's found peace in being solo, focusing on his own sound and path, and in this music thing he adores. When he says "I just said play the I'm doing the M creator / ain't gonna hear my tunes no more," he's implying that he's not chasing anyone else's sound or style, he's just creating his own music that's true to himself. The line "love me, hate me, gave me power" reinforces his resilience and determination to continue doing what he loves despite any criticism he may receive.
The hook "I've caused the ocean" can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could refer to the idea that Pete Philly's music has made a big impact and created change, in the same way that a single drop can cause ripples that create a larger movement. It could also mean that he's experienced a lot of ups and downs in his career, like the waves of an ocean, but he's still standing and moving forward. This idea of moving forward is echoed in the second verse, where Pete Philly talks about trying to solve the puzzle of his life, even though it's not always easy. He doesn't have all the answers, but he's still striving to improve himself and the world around him. The reference to "pressure rewind" suggests that he's aware of how past mistakes or regrets can hold people back, but he's determined to move forward and find his own path to happiness.
Overall, "Ocean" is a song about staying true to oneself and pursuing one's passions, even when it's not easy. It's a reminder to keep moving forward, keep creating, keep trying to solve the puzzle of life, and to make waves that create positive change.

Pete Philly - Ocean Lyrics
They say stick too, what you do best, so I'm back
To carryin' the European-West on my back and it
ain't broke, so won't fix it
Especially since all of my folk is gonna miss it
'Bout to visit, stayin' on route
Givin' all of my beautiful people everywhere a shout
Without being explicit, Pete Philly and Perquisite needed a time out
Now I'm solo like before, making my own beats choosin' my own chords
Taking my own path, writing my own score
Learning some new math, building my own store
And there's so much more (much more)
Than this music thing I so adore
So I just said later, I'm doing me theeater (theatre)
Ain't gonna hear my tunes no more
But that was acting, or re-acting
Thats something that dressed in the mid day hour
But I won't let it tower, above me, love me, hate me, gave me power.
Hook:
I've crossed the oceans
I've traveled the seas
Gettin' a bit closer to where I should be
I know I'm supposed to, let my mind ease,
please
Every verse that I spit is just another piece of my puzzle
And I admit despite all of my whit
I'm puzzled, I stay tussling, trying to come to grips
My church has no religion, my search has no find
Since the birth of Mankind, we been trying to move forward while pressing rewind and I'm
No better, a lazy go getter, conservative trend setter
rebel without a vendetta, the blueprint to happiness, I would follow it to the letter, but since it ain't. Im'ma make my own
And meditate in the middle of the danger zone.
2 x Hook:
I've crossed the ocean
I've traveled the seas
Get in a bit closer, to where I should be
I know I'm supposed to, let my mind ease,
please
<3 Pete

Het doet gewoon pijn dat dit geweldige nummer maar 4300 keer bekeken is, de muziek die Pete philly maakt is geweldig, uniek, een genot voor het gehoor. De media is tegenwoordig vol van arrogante muzikanten die denken dat ze alles zijn, maar muziek maken die totaal geen inhoud heeft. Dit verdiend meer aandacht.
