Ocean Isle
Searching for Our Elusive Home
Lyrics
Ocean Isle on aisle on isle
Ocean Isle is presented as a concept situated in an aisle or on an isle.
A place we can hardly explain
Describes Ocean Isle as a place that is difficult to articulate or define.
Well we're all headed back to where we once came from
Suggests a return to origins, but the destination remains unnamed.
But still we can't give it a name
Despite the return, the place lacks a distinct identity or label.
Ocean Isle on aisle on isle
Reiterates the connection of Ocean Isle to an aisle or isle.
We're suffering and we're tired from the roam
Expresses suffering and weariness from wandering.
We'll kneel at your feet and beg of you please
Suggests a plea to be guided or informed about the location of home.
To tell us where is our home
Yearning for clarity regarding the concept of home.
We're starving for love and affection
Expresses a hunger for love and connection.
Even though life's a big grocery store
Life is compared to a vast grocery store.
We just aimlessly walk down the aisles
Portrays aimless wandering through life's choices.
Not knowing what we're looking for
Highlights the uncertainty in life's pursuits.
We wander from corner to corner
Describes a wandering journey through different experiences.
To street signs with all different names
Reference to confusion caused by diverse paths in life.
But when you're lost and don't know where you're going
When lost, various options seem indistinguishable.
They might as well all be the same
Indicates the sameness of paths when direction is unclear.
So we all long for our Ocean Isle
Expresses a collective yearning for Ocean Isle.
A place which we all vaguely miss
Portrays Ocean Isle as a vaguely missed place.
And although we keep photos and memories
Despite keepsakes, the existence of Ocean Isle feels elusive.
It still feels like it doesn't exist
Emphasizes the intangibility of Ocean Isle.
So we keep walking down every aisle
Continued confusion and solitude while searching.
Confused and alone til we're dead
Life's journey is depicted as perplexing and isolating.
Cuz we won't see until we finally are free
Insight is delayed until freedom is achieved.
That ocean isle is just an aisle in our head
Reveals that Ocean Isle is a construct within the mind.
Ocean Isle on aisle on isle
Repeats the theme of Ocean Isle existing in an aisle or on an isle.
A place we can hardly explain
Reiterates the challenge of explaining Ocean Isle.
Well we're all headed back to where we once came from
Revisits the idea of returning to one's origin without a name.
But still we can't give it a name
Despite the return, the destination remains unnamed.
Ocean Isle on aisle on isle
Repeats the connection of Ocean Isle to an aisle or isle.
We're suffering and we're tired from the roam
Reiterates the suffering and fatigue from wandering.
We'll kneel at your feet and beg of you please
Repeats the plea for guidance in finding home.
To tell us where is our home
Reiterates the yearning for clarity about the concept of home.
To tell us where is our home
Repeats the plea for information about the location of home.
