Smallman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dream. Silk touch. Silence.
Flying over the essence
I'm alive
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
Take away.
Are we lying to ourselves with illusions?
Clear mind, feel now, smiling
There is no time ... crying
I'm alive
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
The fish diving... there's no limits off
Eyes. ...embrace in front of us
Inside crumble in so ...
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
All we've got is the moment
The song "Ocean" by Smallman is a mesmerizing composition that speaks about the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present moment. The opening lines "I Swim. Ocean from prospect realities, I dream. Silk touch. Silence." suggest a feeling of being lost in the vastness of the world, yet the dreamy imagery of silk touch and silence creates a sense of calmness and serenity. The line "Flying over the essence, I'm alive" is particularly interesting as it could be interpreted in multiple ways. It could mean that the singer has gained a higher perspective on life and realizes the significance of existence or it could mean a state of being detached from reality, flying above it all.
The chorus of the song "All we've got is the moment" is a powerful reminder that life is transitory and one must cherish every moment. The line repeats four times, emphasizing its importance. The next set of lines "Take away. Are we lying to ourselves with illusions? Clear mind, feel now, smiling. There is no time ... crying" could be seen as a commentary on how people distract themselves from the harsh realities of life with materialistic possessions and illusions to a point where they forget to enjoy the present moment.
The last stanza of the song is particularly interesting in its use of language. The line "The fish diving... there's no limits off, Eyes. ...embrace in front of us, Inside crumble in so ..." uses a fragmented sentence structure and creates a sense of ambiguity that adds to the dreamy quality of the song's lyrics. Overall, the song is a beautifully crafted meditation on the importance of living in the present moment.

Tool и Smallman са две различни неща. Прилика е големия талант, който и двете групи притежават. Иначе Smallman са определено гордост за България...
