The Ocean
Steve Angello & Saturday Monday Feat. Julia Spada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stayed inside your car for ages
Talking through the stages
Gone are the days of sun lotion
the carefree and the unsober
It's already October
We reach the end here, nothing to save
And though the ocean looks infinite
from the far side
it breaks here, it dies
Like you and I
We drove out to the ocean
Tried to think of something fateful
- like we're greatful
Air and water in motion
Hair is blocking all my vision
Reach a final decision
We reach the end here, crushed like the waves
We reach the end here, nothing to save
And though the ocean looks infinite
from the far side
it breaks here, it dies
Like you and I
The lyrics of Steve Angello & Saturday Monday ft. Julia Spada's song "The Ocean" depict a couple driving out to the ocean, where they stay in the car and talk about their relationship. The couple discusses their past experiences during sunnier times, where they were carefree and reckless. However, now in October, they seem to be facing some difficult times. The couple reaches a crossroads and both realize that their relationship has come to an end. The metaphor of the ocean is used to demonstrate that while things may appear infinite from the outside, they eventually break and die, just like their relationship.
The song portrays the idea of nostalgia, particularly of a time when things were simple and uncomplicated. The lyrics suggest that people often hold onto the past and forget to focus on the present moment, leading to the end of a relationship. The metaphor of the ocean is particularly poignant as it symbolizes both the vastness and depth of the couple's affection, while also representing a final barrier between them.
"The Ocean" is a melancholic yet hopeful track that deals with the complexities of romantic relationships. It emphasizes the importance of both communication and acceptance, particularly when it comes to the ending of a relationship. The song is a beautiful representation of how love can change, evolve and eventually end, without either party feeling like they've lost.

We drove out to the ocean
We took a trip to the sea
Stayed inside your car for ages
Spent a lot of time in the car
Talking through the stages
Discussing the different phases of life
Gone are the days of sun lotion
No more carefree days of applying sunscreen
the carefree and the unsober
Days of being free and drunk are over
It's already October
Time has passed quickly and it's already fall
We reach the end here, crushed like the waves
Our relationship has come to an end and we feel broken like the waves
We reach the end here, nothing to save
There's no saving our relationship at this point
And though the ocean looks infinite
Even though the sea appears endless
from the far side
When viewed from a distance
it breaks here, it dies
It reaches its end and fades away
Like you and I
Just like our relationship
Tried to think of something fateful
Tried to think of something profound
like we're greatful
Something to be thankful for
Air and water in motion
The movement of air and water
Hair is blocking all my vision
Hair is getting in the way of seeing clearly
Reach a final decision
We've come to a final conclusion

Steve Angello is one of those producers that puts all of his heart into the songs. I loved every second of this track, just pure perfection, keep doing what you do and never change man! Big respect.

En serio, no puedo parar de escuchar este tema, me tiene enganchado, es buenísimo. Para mi ya es un himno de la música electrónica, como siempre Steve no me decepciona, todo tiene sentido y buen gusto, todo está en su sitio. Steve Angello nos habla en cada uno de sus trabajos, realmente se expresa y lo hace de una forma brillante, limpia, sencilla y elegante.

Axwell, Ingrosso and Steve. They're always doing awesome things in the EDM world (songs, videos, performances). They're just awesome, even they are together or apart.
@AwesomeChahal
+Victor Leal nah axwell ingrosso is mediocore and steve is jus killing it by themselves
@victorleal18
mediocre? Do you even know who they are? Have you ever listened Axwell or Ingrosso (before SHM) songs? I'm suspicious to say that, but all other DJ's play Axwell and Ingrosso songs, they're kind of EDM Masters.
@AwesomeChahal
Victor Leal i think ik who they are back before they even forme swedish house mafia dont gotta b so ignorant every one is entitled to their opinion....
@victorleal18
+ANTI PC Principal Yes! But as you like to have your opinion, don't say that the others are mediocre.
