Across the Ocean
Journey Beyond Solitude: A Melodic Reflection on Youth's End
Lyrics
This is the song 'bout the ending of youth
This song reflects on the conclusion of youth.
The era I'm no longer in solitude
The period where the singer was no longer alone.
This is the moment that's no longer mine
This marks a moment that is no longer exclusively the singer's.
I hope I no longer decline
An expression of the hope to overcome a personal decline.
You hold my sun
A metaphorical reference to someone holding the singer's source of light or happiness.
You have my eyes
Addressing someone possessing qualities or traits similar to the singer.
You are the spirit that's across the ocean
Describing a significant person as a guiding spirit located across the ocean.
You lead me home
This person plays a role in leading the singer back home, metaphorically or emotionally.
You understand
Recognizing that the person comprehends or empathizes with the singer.
I hope we can meet someday
Expressing a desire to meet the significant person in the future.
Ooh...

Ah...
