LyricMeaning

The Ocean
Atmosphere

Tap, tap, tap, lick the globe against the moon

For the next tune, we'll let the camera zoom into the bedroom

The more she raises her voice, the less I really hear

The more she leaves the house, the less I spend on beer


All thoughts are clear

Chain smoker, box of?

Got to shed this excess gear before we cross this bridge

If we make it to the opposite side of where we stand

We can get some land and make a plan

Woman and man


But you're only twenty something, are you ready to change?

You've accomplished plenty running

Are you tired? Are you hungry?

Up to no good, but down to try to hard

And to depart and sever the old ways of gauging the weather


And when they ask if you treat me right

I have to lie and yes, if I'm to answer the question

Here I dance again in front of the mirror, solitaire

Wondering where you are, what's the time

Why am I losing all my hair?


If I could hook half as good as you looked

I'd trade in my head phones and my notebook

For all the time you took up to shine

Shook up my alignment, hooked up to silence

'Cause these footsteps is my steps


Just Get out and don't come back again

And don't come again


Okay, enter mommy's little social path

Hoping I have the sober cells left

To taste the smoke on her breathe

Chosen my steps


Prepare to pour a ear fill

Trying to drive her soul

Keep your hands on the steering wheel

One at nine, the other at three

Won't ever find another like she

I call it thief because she took it


Put the key in the hole

And started upsetting cruise control

Bam! Hit a tree, my fault I wasn't looking

Distracted, but ain't no body acting surprised

Mapping out a plan to put me back in her eyes

She laid her hand on her thighs


Damn near went blind

And spread my wings to fly

And clear my mind

And usually I'm at top of the game

At least I used to be

This is new to me

I can't explain what you do to me


Moving me, seducing me

Inducing me, reducing me down

To figure or not how I can go

About improving me


Soon we'll see

This whole world will see this

Superhero features

But girl is the weakness


Speaking of the mirror

Trying to gather my reflection

Sold my sense of direction

For some affection


Now I'm straining, striving

Trying to see the ocean

I'm riding, driving

I'm trying to make it to the ocean


Lifting up every shell

And holding it up to my ear

I'm trying to hear the ocean

I got to feel the ocean


I'm trying to hear the ocean

I got to feel the ocean

I'm trying to hear the ocean

I got to feel the ocean


Deep within I swim a river of lust

Beginners luck

Rising tide, hinges the crust

Hunger, feed my need to free my seed

I cry, I bleed, I fly, I flee


I tried to be everything, to each partner I find

But the bottom line is rain always starts in the mind

So I climb inside the rhyme

And riddle the growth of the stome

And sip and swallow the aura

Hit it closer to home


It's a quarter 'til two

I'm still waiting anxious

Got to surface, the tools

The motivation to paint this


Don't know which colors to use, detail is not my game

So now I'm through differentiating heaven and pain

I'm just another straight cat trying to rest my tail

Prepared to go to war and scared to check the mail


She's a bird with crippled wings

Intrigued by the simple things

(It's too simple, you're too simple)

You could take the bone out the chicken

But you can't take my girls out to lunch without me thinking


Probably somethings up

If you can't take it with you then fuck it I ain't goin'

I'll just sit here for now and dream about the ocean


Carouselic contagious carnival of carnage

Wearing a name tag that says artist

Holding the harness, controlling the motive

Floating the waves, looking for that ocean


Now I'm straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I'm riding, driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean

I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean

I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean


Just get out and don't come back again

And don't come again, and don't come again

And don't come again, and don't come again

And don't come again, and don't come again
