Oceans

I don't know why, but this song has been haunting me since the last 3 days. Such a solemn and sad song.

Mostly about the distance felt between a husband and wife, emotionally and spiritually. Like a marriage that feels empty and dour, the emotional bond has gone away. Just like the first words heard in the intro, "It's nothing". The lyric is so simple yet meaningful and beautiful. Just enjoy the song =)

We sit in silence

A marriage license

Is all you know

All you know, all you know

We sit and chew gum

Watch television

And you know

And you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us

Light years that screen us

Oceans that drift away

Oceans that fade to grey

We sit and rot here

Resenting each year

Will you go

Will you go, will you go?

We sing the old songs

The beat box plays on

And you know

And you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us

Light years that screen us

Like oceans we drift away

[Like] oceans we fade to grey

Between us there's oceans

There's life in slow motion

Quietly we drift away

Quietly we fade to grey
