An Ocean Between
Navigating Destiny: An Ocean Between Us
Lyrics
I find myself so tangled up.
I find myself emotionally entangled.
In all of our ideas.
Entangled in our shared thoughts and concepts.
We could run away, get a job.
Contemplating the possibility of escaping, finding employment in a coastal small town.
In a small town on the beach.
Imagining a life in a serene beachside setting.
We can dream but I can't stay.
We can dream, but I cannot remain in this dreamlike state.
It's a small world.
Reflecting on the limited scope of our world.
But I'll still sail much too far away.
Suggesting a tendency to venture too far from familiar territory.
Could it be, it was destiny?
Questioning whether our connection was preordained.
You and me, an ocean between?
Pondering the existence of a significant distance, metaphorically described as an ocean, between "you and me."
I find myself a bit of a mess.
Expressing a sense of personal disarray.
Life just isn't fair, is it?
Acknowledging the inherent unfairness of life.
I miss the years when we were young,
Nostalgically recalling a time of innocence and naivety in youth.
Innocent and so naïve.
We can dream but I can't stay.
Similar to line 9, reiterating the transient nature of dreams.
It's a small world.
Reaffirming the smallness of our world.
But I'll still sail much too far away.
Despite the small world, expressing a tendency to venture into the unknown.
Could it be, it was destiny?
Raising the question of destiny once again.
You and me, an ocean between?
Reiterating the metaphorical "ocean between" as a significant barrier.
Pride burns like wildfire.
Describing intense pride as a destructive force.
Smell the smoke rising.
Evoking the sensory experience of pride turning destructive.
It's the anthem of hell.
Labeling pride as a destructive anthem.
In your eyes I saw a hope.
Recognizing hope in the eyes of the other person.
Where you wrote us off as Pharisees.
Recalling a moment when the speaker was judged harshly (Pharisees reference).
You were so relieved.
Highlighting relief at a positive turn of events.
Don't listen to anything these demons have to say.
Advising to disregard negative influences or criticism.
We're older now and it's time to grow up.
Emphasizing the need for maturity and growth.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Encouraging deep breaths and embracing challenges.
Throw yourself in the sea.
Metaphorically suggesting a plunge into uncertainty.
(It's so much bigger than us.)
Stating that challenges are larger than individual concerns.
We can dream but I can't stay.
Repeating the theme of transient dreams and inability to stay.
It's a small world.
Reaffirming the smallness of the world and its limitations.
But I'll still sail much too far away.
Expressing a tendency to venture beyond comfortable boundaries.
Could it be, it was destiny?
Posing the question of destiny once more.
You and me, an ocean between?
Reiterating the metaphorical "ocean between" as a significant challenge.
Don't listen to anything they have to say.
Advising against heeding negative influences.
We're older now and it's time to grow up.
Emphasizing the need for maturity and leaving behind youthful influences.
