OCEANS

[Verse 1]
You talk like a storm in slow motion
Eyes on the floor
Tides in your chest
Every small silence an explosion
Words that you swallow instead of confess
[Chorus]
Oceans
Crashing in the corners of your mind
You’re drowning on the inside
And I can’t pull you to the light
Oceans
Rising every time you close your eyes
You say that you’re “alright”
But I can hear the waves at night (oh)
[Verse 2]
You drift through the room like you’re haunted
Smile painted thin
Ready to break
Laugh at the wrong parts
Say that you want it
Then stay up 'til sunrise
Wide awake
[Chorus]
Oceans
Crashing in the corners of your mind
You’re drowning on the inside
And I can’t pull you to the light
Oceans
Rising every time you close your eyes
You say that you’re “alright”
But I can hear the waves at night (yeah)

pop, Smoldering dark indie pop, soft pulsing kick like a heartbeat, muted bass swells, and sparse electric guitar echoes. Male vocals in the foreground with stacked male harmonies in the chorus, airy and distant. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus widens with layered background “oohs,” light reverb, and subtle synth pads. Slow dynamic build toward the final hook, then a gentle fade on a lingering vocal loop., soft, indie pop
