Ocean Eyes
The Darcys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
I've been walking through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
The lyrics to The Darcys' song "Ocean Eyes" are about the singer's infatuation with someone and how this person's "ocean eyes" have the power to make them feel deeply emotional and scared.

The imagery of "burning cities and napalm skies" and "fifteen flares" suggests a sense of danger or chaos that this person embodies.

The final chorus repeats the same sentiments from the first chorus, driving home the idea that this person has a powerful hold over the singer.
Overall, the lyrics to "Ocean Eyes" evoke a sense of intense emotion and overwhelming desire. The vivid descriptions of the person's eyes and the language of "falling" and feeling scared all contribute to the song's themes of infatuation, vulnerability, and the dizzying feeling of falling in love.
