Ocean
Sunray feat. Sonic Boom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the waves down by the shore
Here comes the Ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Insects are evil thoughts, thought of by selfish men
It really drives me crazy
I am a lazy son
I never get things done
But here come the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
That has been down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the shore
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the sea
Insects are evil thoughts, thought of by selfish men
It really drives me crazy
I am a lazy son
I never get things done
...Mostly up by the water...
But here come the waves down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land that has been down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves...
The lyrics of Sunray feat. Sonic Boom's song Ocean explore the juxtaposition of the peaceful yet powerful nature of the ocean with the chaotic and negative thoughts that can plague individuals. The first stanza sets the scene by introducing the ocean and its waves, creating a calming and serene atmosphere. However, the second stanza disrupts this tranquility by stating that insects are "evil thoughts, thought of by selfish men," which drives the singer crazy. The final stanza brings the focus back to the ocean and its waves, washing away the problems and struggles of the land.
The song seems to suggest that the ocean can serve as a source of solace and relief for those who are struggling with their thoughts and their inability to be productive. The lyrics "I am a lazy son/I never get things done" are indicative of the singer's frustration with their own lack of motivation, but the ocean's waves offer a sense of renewal and cleansing by washing away the eye of the land that has been down by the sea. Sunray and Sonic Boom's use of imagery and metaphor creates a vivid and introspective narrative that evokes both the beauty and the power of the ocean.

'Tis a rare and beautiful thing for a band to do an argueably better-than-original cover of a Velvet Underground song. Well played, Sunray, well played ineed.
