Introduction
ryo-ta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The realization that glass
Causes reflection, creates protection
But can cut so deep
As blood falls down your forearm
Can you believe that's you?
The red liquid that feels so foreign
As blood falls down your forearm
Can you believe that's you?
The red liquid that feels so foreign
Is part of the reason you're alive
You're my blue ocean
You're my
You're my blue ocean floor
The lyrics of ryo-ta's song "Introduction" explore a sense of duality and realization, specifically in regards to the fragility and strength of the human experience. The lines "The realization that glass can rip your skin / Causes reflection, creates protection / But can cut so deep" highlight the idea that the things that protect us can also harm us, as reflected in the metaphor of glass. This is further emphasized in the following lines as blood falls down the forearm, representing the tangible consequences of this realization. The lyrics, "Can you believe that's you? The red liquid that feels so foreign / Is part of the reason you're alive" suggest that pain and vulnerability are inherent in the human experience, but can ultimately lead to growth and survival.
The repetition of the chorus, "You're my blue ocean / You're my / You're my blue ocean floor" contrasts with the darker imagery of the verses, adding a sense of hope and beauty to the song. The ocean metaphor represents a sense of vastness and depth, suggesting that despite the struggles and pain explored in the verses, there is still room for growth, exploration, and beauty in the world.
