Ocean Deep

Kid Foguete's 'Ocean Deep' delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, marked by emotional highs and lows. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has turned into a source of pain and confusion. The repeated lines 'You hit me once, You hit me twice, And I ask you to hit again' suggest a cycle of emotional or perhaps even physical abuse, where the protagonist finds themselves trapped, unable to break free. This cycle has led to a sense of resignation, as indicated by the line 'I've given up on all I love, And now you are my only friend.' The protagonist has isolated themselves, clinging to the very source of their pain as their only companion.

The song also explores the theme of disillusionment with dreams and hopes that were never meant to be. 'Our made up hopes, For made up dreams, We knew how this was gonna end' reflects a sense of inevitability and foreknowledge that the relationship was doomed from the start. Despite this, they 'took the chance' and 'danced the dance,' only to find themselves back where they started, with the 'music off again.' This metaphor of dancing to music that eventually stops highlights the temporary nature of their happiness and the recurring end of their fleeting moments of joy.

The chorus, 'So don't ask me to turn you on, 'Cause I'm giving up, Let's stay friends,' reveals a final plea for emotional distance. The protagonist acknowledges the 'gap between us, Ocean deep,' signifying an insurmountable emotional divide. The repeated request to 'stay friends' suggests a desire to maintain some form of connection, albeit a less intimate one, as a way to cope with the pain. The song captures the essence of a relationship that has run its course, leaving behind a deep emotional chasm that both parties must navigate.
