Ocean
Poppy Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tuck your hair behind your ear, let me look in your eyes
Tell ya everything will be alright
You crash, you rise
You're a wave, you're my tide
I swear, you're a beautiful sight

If you crash upon my shore but I don't know where you're at
I don't worry cause a tide comes back
You'll be calm, then I see that wave emerge
But you give me something to surf

I adore you, support you, good or bad
If I stay, I will witness all the beauty you have
I should let you know, I'll be here, won't let you go

I'll still be inside your ocean
Ride that wave, control emotion
I'll be safe, I've got that notion
Take me in, now that I'm open to your love
Your love
Your love
Your love

I will not waste my time
For you I'll open up my mind
I'll stay and set you free
You just do you and I'll do me

If you ever have doubt
You will figure it out
Don't let them tell you what you're about

You are more than enough, more than all the stories you tell
I love your heaven but I live for your hell
Pull me into a spell

Magic that I don't know the words
If I don't speak, you will help me be heard
Building ashes for homes
Do it by yourself when you're old
Remember, you are never alone

When it gets dark you show me your spark
Show me who you are
Find ourself
You see what I do
You believe me too

It ain't easy at all, we find beauty when we crash and we fall
Find the riches when we crash to the poor
Doors closed in life, then we knock to have a look what's inside
You're awake but have you opened your eyes?

Too afraid, you don't know it
You're beautiful, look how you show it
You are everything, I promise I notice

Deep and true, green and blue
Colours changing, every moment
Speak my truth, about you girl
Can you show me how you want it?

You are free, let you be
Stay above and love below it
Don't you see, what I see?
You are made to be an ocean

I'll still be inside your ocean
Ride that wave, control emotion
I'll be safe, I've got that notion
Take me in, now that I'm open to your love
Your love
Your love
Your love

I'll still be inside your ocean
Ride that wave, control emotion




I'll be safe, I've got that notion
Take me in, now that I'm open to your love

Overall Meaning

Poppy Rose's song "Ocean" is a declaration of love and support for someone who is struggling in life. The opening lines "Tuck your hair behind your ear, let me look in your eyes, Tell ya everything will be alright" establish the singer's comforting presence and the reassurance of safety. While the person she cares for may experience challenges and difficult times, she tells them that they are like an ocean, full of beauty and power. Even if they crash upon the shore, the tide always comes back, and she will always be there, unchanged and unyielding to their difficulties.


The chorus emphasizes the profundity of the connection between the singer and the person she supports. The repeated refrain "I'll still be inside your ocean, Ride that wave, control emotion, I'll be safe, I've got that notion, Take me in, now that I'm open to your love" creates a sense of unity and trust between them. By saying she will ride the wave with them, and control their emotions, she is telling them that they can rely on her for emotional support. It provides the idea that the singer accepts them for their faults and their beauty, and that there is no judgement, just love and connection.
