Ocean
Navigating Desolation: Platon Karataev's Emotional Ocean
Lyrics
I’m not saying that I’m crying
I'm not explicitly stating that I'm shedding tears
Just an ocean fell out of my eyes
An overwhelming emotion, akin to an ocean, is expressed through my tears
My hands are smoky firewalls
My hands serve as protective barriers like firewalls, possibly symbolizing a defensive posture
Clasped for prayer
Hands clasped together in prayer
In the mud I shed my faith in rags
In challenging circumstances (mud), I've lost my faith, reducing it to mere rags
I’ll leave it there
I choose to leave my faith behind in that difficult place
I’m not saying that I’m crying
Reiteration that the emotional expression is not explicitly crying, but more profound
Just an ocean fell out of my eyes
An intense emotional release, represented by an ocean flowing from the eyes
Gratitude is sand beneath my tongue
Gratitude is present but uncomfortable, described as sand beneath the tongue
I’m kelp between God’s toes
Feeling insignificant, like kelp between the toes of God, suggesting a humble position
I’m a dead fly on his dusty windowsill
Comparing oneself to a dead fly on God's windowsill, conveying a sense of smallness and mortality
Burden of meaninglessness
Feeling burdened by a sense of meaninglessness
I’m not saying that I’m crying
Reiteration that the emotional expression is not explicitly crying, but more profound
Just an ocean fell out of my eyes
An intense emotional release, represented by an ocean flowing from the eyes
I’m a splinter in God’s numb palm
Feeling like a small, painful presence in God's awareness, akin to a splinter in the palm
