"Oceans & Streams" adalah lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh The Black Keys yang mengeksplorasi tema kesedihan, penyesalan, dan kehilangan. Lagu ini dibuka dengan pengakuan kesedihan yang mendalam, dengan penyanyi yang merasa terbebani oleh rasa bersalah dan takut akan kematian. Kenangan masa lalu yang lebih membahagiakan menghantui mereka, yang digambarkan sebagai "laut dan sungai yang mengalir dan tumbuh kuat." Namun, saat ini, mereka merasa mandek dan kehilangan arah, kontras dengan masa lalu yang penuh tujuan dan cinta yang digambarkan dalam lirik awal.
Oceans & Streams Lyrics
The Black Keys
With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
These days I'm so slow
All those thoughts and nowhere to go
My aim it used to be so true
My world had a place in it darlin', just for you
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
'Scuse me, now, I gotta go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I gotta go to bed
If I stay now, I'm better off dead
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
These days I'm so slow
All those thoughts and nowhere to go
My aim it used to be so true
My world had a place in it darlin', just for you
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
'Scuse me, now, I gotta go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I gotta go to bed
If I stay now, I'm better off dead
Oh, I used to dream
Of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
