Ocean Song
Tides of Change: A Deep Dive into Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I've got a pocket full of rocks
I have burdens or difficulties that I carry with me.
I've got a mind that I've made up
I have a strong and decided mindset.
There isn't enough of me to bury
There's not enough of myself to overcome or hide these difficulties.
You have your head stuck in the sand
You are avoiding or ignoring reality.
You always say you've got a plan
You claim to have a plan, but we might both lack the energy to execute it.
Maybe we're both too tired to carry
Perhaps we are both exhausted and unable to handle the situation.
Losing sleep, trying to be something for you
I struggle to be someone you desire, causing sleepless nights.
Swimming deep into the ocean
I delve deep into challenges, symbolized by the ocean.
Gravity pulls me under all the blue
The force of life's difficulties pulls me down into sadness.
Waking up, us both knowing
We wake up, both aware of our struggles.
I think I've gotta find some air
I feel the need to escape or find a breather.
All of a sudden I'm aware
Suddenly, I realize something important.
Think I've outgrown the place I live in
I believe I've outgrown my current situation or environment.
You tell me that you're feeling fine
You claim to be fine, but I suspect it's not true.
Wish I didn't think that that's a lie
I wish I didn't doubt your statement.
Bodies worn down, it's time we give in
Our bodies are tired, and it's time to surrender to the challenges.
Losing us, I'm holding onto to only air
I'm losing 'us,' and I'm left holding onto emptiness.
Diving deep into the water
I dive deep into emotional waters.
Head comes up I can see me clearly there
Upon reflection, I gain clarity about myself.
Playing god, cause no one taught her
I take control, playing a god-like role, as no one guided me.
This is the part we call it quits
This is the point where we decide to end things.
This is towel I'll throw in
It's time for me to concede or give up.
I think we both know we can't hold it
We both acknowledge that we cannot sustain this.
Here's where you tell me that I'm wrong
This is where you express disagreement with me.
Here's where we argue all night long
This is where we engage in a prolonged argument.
I made my mind up and I closed it
I've made a firm decision, closing the possibility of change.
Losing me, because I can't take care of you
I'm losing myself because I can't take care of both of us.
Playing dumb, empty my pockets
I pretend to be ignorant, emptying my emotional reserves.
When you see the rocks fall to the floor
When you witness the consequences, do you realize you couldn't prevent it?
Do you know you couldn't stop it?
The unavoidable outcome becomes evident.
