Ocean
Stowers & Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the sea and the sand
Can I meet you there?
We'll be drinkin' bananas
From long tall glasses
In the open air
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
There'll be music playin'
What no words could say
When you first get there
We'll be lost in a corner
That we find in each other
There' so much to share
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
Ocean girl
Ocean girl
Ocean girl (ocean girl)
Ocean girl
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
The song "Ocean" by Stowers & Young seems to be about escaping the chaos of the city and seeking refuge in a peaceful, natural environment with a loved one. The first few lines set the scene of a tropical jungle by the sea, inviting the listener to meet them there. The imagery of "drinkin' bananas from long tall glasses" brings to mind a carefree, relaxed atmosphere. The refrain "Ocean girl, come 'round the world from forgotten shores" emphasizes the idea of leaving behind the familiar and venturing into the unknown with a sense of adventure.
The second verse alludes to the power of music to express emotions that words cannot. The setting of the song creates a sense of intimacy between the two characters, describing how they will be "lost in a corner/ that we find in each other". It suggests that they will have a deep connection, with a lot to share. Through the repetition of the refrain, the song closes with a sense of finality, emphasizing the idea of setting off on a journey to foreign lands.
Overall, the song captures a sense of wanderlust and a desire to explore new places with a loved one, while also emphasizing the power of nature and music to provide solace and escape from the stresses of everyday life.
