Overall Meaning

The lyrics of V.O.D.A.'s song Oceans are filled with metaphors that describe the distance between the singer and the ocean, which seems to represent someone or something that they long to be closer to. The first verse describes the ocean as a rocky shore, with waves crashing against it and shaping its surface. However, the singer cannot get close enough to truly become one with the ocean, as its low tide keeps them waiting. This is a metaphor for their longing and frustration in being unable to connect with the object of their desire.


The second verse introduces the idea that the singer is walking towards their distant harbor, where the ocean is located. They describe the sky as sinking deep, perhaps a way of symbolising their feelings of sadness or despair. Yet the ocean's eyes (if we can personify it for a moment) are grey but never faded, suggesting that despite the distance and the hardship, the ocean remains constant and unchanging. The singer dreams of being at one with the ocean, with open arms ready to be embraced. The misty breeze that envelops the ocean is a potent symbol of the distance and separation that the singer feels.


In the chorus, the singer describes their determination to keep walking towards their ocean, even though it seems to be getting farther away. They are willing to traverse the maze of obstacles and challenges that stand in their way, knowing that the race (presumably towards the object of their desire) is not something they will lose. Overall, the lyrics of Oceans paint a picture of longing, distance, and the tenacity required to keep pursuing something that seems just out of reach.


Line by Line Meaning

Cold waves crash on your rocky shore
The powerful waves fiercely hit against your rugged shore


Shape the stone and smooth the jagged edges
The waves carve and refine the stones forming the shore


Can't get close enough to be at one with you
Even though the person desires to be physically closer to the ocean, it remains distant


Your low tide still keeps me waiting
Even during low tide, the ocean still maintains distance, delaying the person's connection to it


It's getting hard to see through your misty breeze
The foggy atmosphere surrounding the ocean makes it difficult to gain clear sight of it


Ocean in a distant harbor
The ocean remains far away, waiting to be reached


It seems you're getting farther
The ocean is appearing to be moving further away


I'll walk still tomorrow To my ocean in a distant harbor
Despite the ocean's ongoing distance, the person will continue to pursue it, arriving at its faraway harbor


Each day it seems the sky sinks deep
As each day passes, the sky seems to immerse even further into the ocean's depths


Your eyes are grey but never faded
The ocean's color, while often grey, remains resilient and unchanged


I always dreamed to be at one with you
The person has always held the aspiration of fully connecting with the ocean


With open arms I feel you take me
The person is embracing the ocean with open arms, surrendering to its pull


I'll walk the maze for you
The person is willing to navigate challenges to achieve their goal of connecting with the ocean


It's not my race to lose
The journey towards the ocean may be difficult, but the person remains committed and determined to reach their goal

It never ceases to amaze me that people are able to ride waves like these and live to tell the tale. Those waves look like the angriest things that I have ever seen.

Tenho 41 anos sempre morei na beira da praia, sempre tive vontade de aprender a surfar, pegar onda, porém nunca tive condições financeiras de comprar uma prancha, mas acredito eu que nunca é tarde pra gente realizar nosso sonho.
