Okean'

Propaganda's song 'Okean' is a haunting exploration of emotional turmoil and the feeling of being overwhelmed by life's challenges. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of standing on the edge of the sky, looking down at an ocean that represents the vastness of human emotions and experiences. The ocean, described as 'all the water of the world in one drop of rain,' symbolizes the overwhelming nature of these feelings. The imagery of the 'red lily' and 'moist fog' adds to the sense of being lost and disoriented, as the protagonist struggles to wake up from this emotional fog.

As the song progresses, the ocean becomes a metaphor for the protagonist's descent into darkness and despair. The lines 'But as soon as the ocean swallows me / And these dark doors close behind me' suggest a point of no return, where the protagonist is engulfed by their emotions and loses touch with reality. The repeated refrain of being 'underwater, somewhere there in the darkness / At the depth, in the blind void' emphasizes the isolation and suffocation felt by the protagonist. The struggle to breathe and the inability to escape highlight the intensity of their emotional state.

The song also touches on themes of loss and longing. The protagonist sees someone they care about disappearing into the abyss, and the pain of not being able to call out their name is palpable. The final verses convey a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the protagonist realizes that life is slipping away and they are left alone at the bottom of the ocean. The haunting line 'I will wait for you here, underwater' encapsulates the enduring hope and love that persists even in the darkest of times. 'Okean' is a powerful and evocative song that delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of despair, isolation, and the enduring nature of love and hope.
