Ocean
The Randalls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you go, when you go don't go too far
'Cause we both know, we both know
What it does to my heart
It's between some other things that I once
Dreamed but I’ve never seen again

Don't go too fast, go too fast
Just slow it down you had it all figured out
But you don't know now
Caught a glimpse of perfect sense of what
It meant to have your hand

No matter where you go
You can always call my heart your home
Crossing oceans with your restless soul
My heart will always be your home
So sail on my darling oh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

It's alright, it's alright
Just close your eyes
No I don't mind, I don't mind
If you take your time
I will be herе waiting to bring
You in with the tide

No matter whеre you go
You can always call my heart your home
Crossing oceans with your restless soul
My heart will always be your home
So sail on my darling oh

Ooh ooh oh (My darling)
Ooh ooh (My darling)
Sail on my darling sail on my darling
Sail on my darling oh

No matter where we go
You can always call my heart your home
Crossing oceans with our restless souls
My heart will always be your home




Let’s sail on my darling oh ooh
Ooh

Line by Line Meaning

I got the submarine
I have a means to dive deep into the depths of my own emotions


Parked down on Frenchman Street
I am currently stationary, but I know where I am and where I want to go


I'm gonna take it down to the bottom of the ocean
I am ready and willing to face the depths of my emotions, no matter how dark or overwhelming they may seem


I know it's time to go
I am aware that it is time for a change within myself and my life


Little cracks they start to show
The flaws and issues within my life are becoming more apparent and harder to ignore


You're gonna leave me high and dry
I fear that someone or something in my life will abandon me when I am at my most vulnerable state


I've been crying and it didn't do me no good
I have been expressing my emotions, but it hasn't brought me any resolution or peace


I've been wearin out the streets of my neighborhood
I have been relentlessly searching for answers and comfort in my immediate surroundings


Now I'm walkin on the bottom of the ocean
I am fully immersed in the deep and unknown parts of myself


I try to play your game
I have attempted to conform to the expectations of others, but it hasn't provided me with happiness or fulfillment


Instructions they never came
I have not been given clear guidance or direction in my life


No use in tryin to win your love
My attempts to win over someone's affection have been fruitless and I should move on


Why do you treat me bad
I am questioning why someone is treating me poorly and causing me pain


And trash all the things we had
Someone has disregarded and devalued the positive aspects of our relationship


All I want to do is make you mine
Despite the negative treatment, I still desire a meaningful connection with this person


I been up here too long
I have been avoiding facing my true emotions for too long


Tryin the good life on
I have attempted to find happiness and joy through superficial means, but it hasn't been fulfilling


Keepin my voices to myself
I have been suppressing my own thoughts and emotions, preventing me from true growth and healing


All of this randomness
There is chaos and confusion within my life


Can't find a place to rest
I am constantly searching for a sense of peace and stability


Only feel good when I'm going down
The only time I feel a sense of release or comfort is when I am diving into my own emotions and facing them head-on

Ice Age Terminations - Explanation.

Ice ages were ALL terminated by dust from the Gobi desert. Dust storms for 10k years ALWAYS predate an interglacial. It is the lower aIbedo ice, because of dust, that initiates warming.

But in eastern Siberia, there was always too much dust from the Gobi. Hence there was no eastern Siberian ice sheet. The Loess Plateau was formed by the same dust, and displays the same periodicity as the ice ages.

Sudden peaks of dust every 80k or 100 k years, was caused by a lack of CO2, which kilIed off all plant life at higher altitudes (ie: on the Gobi plateau).

Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock sparked my wonder like a child. The idea of a lost or multiple lost civilizations is a shining treasure.
