THE OCEAN LYRICS

1. Triassic

You feel so disconnected
And yes I get it
But there is just no point in further confrontation
Dysfunctional communication skills

You undermine our mutual
Resolution strategy
With your condescending patronising
Habitus of false modesty

A sole survivor
You'll carry the flame

You're wondering all by yourself
Across this arid land
You're wandering all by yourself
Dead trees in seas of sand

A dry wind blows
Across the barren plains
Dead trees in seas of sand
Stretching to the horizon
Black trees
Burnt monuments to compassion

2. Jurassic | Cretaceous

[Jurassic]

Pieces are shattered once again
You're no longer innocent
And no this did not come out of the blue

Well how exactly
Did you expect me
To react when you keep pushing it?
Keep pushing the needle in

Out of the cave
You can feel the weather change
Blazing ardour in the shade

We thought this would be never-ending
You bathed naked in the planet's glow
But now it's clear, collision is impending

Well how exactly
Did you expect me
To react when you keep pushing it?
Keep pushing the needle in

Out of the cave
You can feel the weather change
Into the heat,
Out of the shade

Out of the cave
Can you feel the weather change?
Into the heat,
Out of the shade

[Cretaceous]

Radiant collapse
Planetary scale
Our indecent errors paved the way
Truth long know before our last deeds
And the world we know will go down in flames

With our memories of a clear day
We're both still here
And the needle head in the sky is on fire
Can you see

Lie awake
It won't be long
Lie awake
It's coming close

At the end of a long, long day
We're both still here
And the needle head in the sky is on fire

Lie awake
It won't be long
Lie awake
It's coming close

We are just like reptiles,
Giant rulers of the world
Within the blink of an eye
Wiped off the face of the earth

Melancholia has arrived

The atmosphere red hot
From the debris storm
All sunlight eclipsed for months
Photosynthesis all but stopped
Giant forest fires
Consume the earth
Barren trees stripped of foliage
In the rain of tektites

We are like reptiles,
Giant rulers of the world
Within the blink of an eye
Wiped off the face of the earth

Existential emptiness
Existential emptiness

We are all alone
So save your sentimental considerations
For the moment when it hits
No hideout, no safe retreat

Out of the cave
Can you feel the weather change?

Melancholia has arrived
Antares was a lie

Existential emptiness
Existential emptiness

3. Palaeocene

Broken bones, onward
The seed to be in defect
Open void, silence
We said we would never neglect

The unknown deliverance
Embrace, feel the far
In search, remembrance
Words unspoken be heard

Give it back, the truth they never had
Walk away from the past that was never there
Raise the sword, slowly feel it die
They tried, we tried, did we try

Broken bones, onward
The seed to be in defect
The unknown deliverance
Words unspoken be heard

4. Eocene

Charity is your demand
But you never showed me any lenience
Empathy and violence
Reconciled under your austere diligence

How can you see yourself
As a proud child of disobedience
When you just said to me
You've always lived on the lease of my convenience?

You promised me...

Yes and this is how it ends.
Everything's been said, we're good, we're done now
Purified and calm
Look at me once more before you turn around
Defy the debris storm

5. Oligocene

[Instrumental]

6. Miocene | Pliocene

Creature, get up on your legs
The world around you's gotten more complex
Your needs diversified
Assign priorities
Sedate your mind

Recurrence, for the week:
Eternal spiral of self-destruct
Set out to find your niche
Relearn how to use your teeth

You are unique
But you will disappear
From this bleak
Celestial sphere

Time is not
A line to connect the dots
The cosmic wheel
Cyclic history: repeat, eternally

7. Pleistocene

We all can only take so much
Some more than others
And our individual tolerance
For stress, for loneliness
Is so subjective
But there's no tolerance
For hopelessness

Yes you sure did your best to smile
When I took you once more to the isle
But all the serenity
Just served to augment your pain

You've always been intrigued by death and the other side
You got yourself too close to the to the abyss
And no one of the closest ones around you
Realized how your stare turned empty
How the flickering faded from your eyes
And emptiness invaded

And no one could tell the moment
When you disassembled
When your restless heart froze
And you sake below the ice
Eyes wide open

Your savior's soul is consumed by guilt
Your faith is him won't be saving you
Your savior's soul is consumed by guilt
Your faith in him won't be saving you

My whole life I have been searching
Digging deep
Turning over every stone
Questioning everything I know
Maybe there's no fire deep behind these mountains
This light is something else
We are just atoms
Colliding, clashing,
Melting, merging,
Existing, spinning,
Colliding, burning
Out

8. Holocene

Brace yourself
You feel nothing
But you see
Your limbs are black and frozen

A swell of ice
Descends from the North
Caps the land
Old thoughts under the surface

Lift me up
Into the stratosphere
It's cold
And breathing becomes a challenge

I'm floating high (High)
Bird's eye perspective
Sets you free
Now let me take my distance

We are alone
So save your sentimental considerations
For the moment when it hits
No hideout, no safe retreat

We are alone
So save your sentimental considerations
For the moment when it hits
No hideout, no safe retreat

You feel so disconnected, and yes, I get it
But there is just no point in further
confrontation
Dysfunctional communication skills
You undermine our mutual
Resolution strategy
With your condescending patronising
Habitus of false modesty

Lift me up
Into the stratosphere
It's cold
And breathing becomes a challenge

I'm floating high
Bird's eye perspective
Sets you free
Now let me take my distance
