Drop in the Ocean
Love's Revelation: A Journey in the Ocean of Emotion
Lyrics
Love took me by the hand
Love guided and influenced the speaker.
Love took me by surprise
Love was unexpected and took the speaker by surprise.
Love led me to you
Love led the speaker to the person being addressed.
And love opened up my eyes
Love brought about a new perspective and understanding.
And I was drifting away
The speaker felt a sense of detachment or distance.
Like a drop in the ocean
Metaphor: The speaker compares their state to a drop in the vastness of the ocean, feeling insignificantly small.
And now I realize that
The speaker gains awareness and understanding.
Nothing has been as beautiful
The speaker expresses the beauty of the experience.
As when I saw heaven's skies
Reference to a moment of profound beauty, symbolized by heaven's skies.
In your eyes
Repeated emphasis on the beauty seen in the person's eyes.
In your eyes
-And every time I drift away
Reference to drifting away again, losing oneself in the person.
I lose myself in you
The speaker loses their sense of self in the experience of love.
And now I see I can be me
The realization that the speaker can be true to themselves in the context of the relationship.
In everything I do
The newfound ability to be authentic in all aspects of life.
'Cause I was feeling as small
Feeling small and insignificant again.
As a drop in the ocean
Reiteration of the feeling of being a small part of something vast.
And now I realize that
Acknowledgment of the beauty found in this feeling of smallness.
Nothing has been as beautiful
Reference to another moment of profound beauty in the person's eyes.
As when I saw heaven's skies
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the beauty in the experience.
In your eyes

In your eyes
-Love took me by the hand
Repetition of the initial impact of love on the speaker.
Love took me by surprise
-And I was drifting away
Reiteration of the feeling of drifting away, possibly indicating a cyclical nature of the experience.
Like a drop in the ocean
Metaphor: Like a drop in the ocean, expressing the smallness and fleeting nature of the speaker's sense of self.
And now I've realized that
Renewed awareness and realization of the beauty in the experience.
Nothing has been as beautiful

As when I saw heaven's skies
Repeated emphasis on the beauty observed in the person's eyes.
In your eyes
-In your eyes
Final repetition of the beauty found in the person's eyes.
