Lyrics
Have you ever felt, have you ever felt like
Expressing the experience of feeling a certain way.
A shadow in the light of what you're supposed to be?
Feeling like a shadow compared to societal expectations.
Do you ever feel, do you ever think I
Questioning one's ability to meet external expectations.
Can live up to all the things they say and think of me?
Doubting the capacity to live up to the perceptions of others.
Can I be honest, can I be honest?
Seeking permission to be truthful and open.
I know I have my set of flaws
Acknowledging personal imperfections.
But if those ocean eyes can wash away all the wrong I've done, why can't I?
Reflecting on the potential cleansing power of genuine emotion, using "ocean eyes" metaphorically.
Why can't I?
Expressing frustration or confusion about self-improvement.
When the storm is back-breaking me down
Describing a challenging situation or emotional turmoil.
I just wanna sink below the surface and never make a sound
Expressing a desire for retreat and silence in difficult times.
But you're tidal wave of love come rolling in
Describing a powerful force of love overcoming difficulties.
Pulling me back up to surface, Lord I know I don't deserve this
Recognizing gratitude for love that pulls one out of difficult situations, despite feeling undeserving.
Can I be honest, can I be honest for once?
Asking for permission to be truthful, possibly emphasizing the difficulty in being honest.
I know I have my set of flaws
Reiterating awareness of personal imperfections.
But if those ocean eyes can wash away all the wrong I've done, why can't I?
Questioning the inability to overcome wrongdoings despite the metaphorical cleansing power of "ocean eyes."
Why can't I?
Expressing continued frustration or confusion about self-improvement.
If those ocean eyes can wash away all the wrong I've done, why can't I?
Repeating the question about the cleansing power of "ocean eyes" and the inability to emulate it.
Why can't I?
Reiterating the frustration or confusion regarding self-improvement.
If those ocean eyes can wash away, all the wrong I've done, so can I
Asserting that if the metaphorical "ocean eyes" can wash away wrongs, so can the individual.
So can I
Expressing confidence in the ability to overcome mistakes and wrongdoing.
