Ocean Quiet (feat. NEIMY)

Lucas Estrada's song 'Ocean Quiet (feat. NEIMY)' is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a past summer filled with warmth, laughter, and companionship. The repeated greetings, 'Hello dear, Hello friend,' set a tone of reminiscence, as the narrator reaches out to someone from their past, wondering if they still feel the same connection to those sun-soaked days. The imagery of the 'summer wind' and the 'Sun drying your skin' evokes a sense of carefree youth and the simple pleasures of life.

The chorus, with its mention of 'blue skies' and the phrase 'the same who got us high,' suggests that these memories are not just about the physical environment but also about the emotional highs experienced during that time. The line 'You were my bonfire, kept me warm, you kept me sane' is a powerful metaphor for the comfort and stability that the other person provided. However, the repeated refrain 'Now it's ocean quiet' signifies a stark contrast to those vibrant memories, indicating a current state of calmness, perhaps even emptiness, as the narrator reflects on what has been lost.

The song also touches on themes of uncertainty and change. Questions like 'Did you leave or did you stay?' and 'Did you find your place or are you shifting towns?' highlight the transient nature of life and relationships. The concern about 'money running out' and the hope that the other person 'made it well down south' add a layer of real-world worries to the emotional landscape of the song. Ultimately, 'Ocean Quiet' captures the bittersweet essence of looking back on a cherished time, acknowledging both the joy it brought and the quiet that follows its passing.
