Oceans of Tomorrow
Echoes of Lost Innocence: Unveiling the Depths in Angel Dust's 'Oceans of Tomorrow'
Lyrics
Retread, lay down the row
Expressing the act of retracing steps or revisiting the past.
That I've been told to fight,
Acknowledging the directive to engage in a struggle or conflict.
For whom?
Raising a question about the purpose or beneficiary of the fight.
The child in me is dead,
Declaring the loss of childlike innocence.
Innocence is lost,
Stating the explicit loss of purity or naivety.
Ripped out of my heart,
Describing the forceful removal of innocence from the speaker's heart.
By whom?
Prompting a question about the agent responsible for the loss.
I've found my way;
Claiming to have discovered a path in life.
So I thought and so I hardly tried
Expressing doubt and minimal effort in trying to follow the discovered path throughout life.
My whole life
Reflecting on the entirety of the speaker's existence.
Or could I have failed?
Raising the possibility of personal failure.
Oh, Lord watch over me
Seeking divine protection or guidance from the Lord.
So I prayed each night
Describing a routine of nightly prayers for guidance.
And believed to do the right
Expressing a belief in doing what is morally right.
How could He fail?
Pondering the potential failure of the divine in guiding the speaker.
Too dull, to open my eyes
Characterizing oneself as emotionally numb or unresponsive.
Too blind, look, what's behind
Acknowledging a lack of awareness about what lies in the background.
Too vain, to confess my own lie
Admitting reluctance to admit personal falsehood.
Pain, through which hell we have gone
Describing intense suffering or hardships endured.
Pain, into void we were thrown
Expressing a sense of being cast into emptiness or nothingness.
Pain, we brought and we suffered
Acknowledging the collective responsibility for causing and enduring pain.
Pain, mankind went insane
Linking the experience of pain to the descent of humanity into madness.
Pain, there's no way to undo
Stating the irreversibility of the experienced pain.
Pain, 'cause I followed you too
Attributing the pain to blindly following another entity or force.
