The 5th track off Neon Bible explores the concept of an “ocean of noise” we live in. Similarly referenced in their track Reflektor, that time called the “Reflektive Age”, the “ocean” is a symbol in many songs in Neon Bible for lack of control.

[Verse 1]
In an ocean of noise,
I first heard your voice,
Ringing like a bell,
As if I had a choice, oh well!
Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep,
Into an ocean of violence,

'Cause time won't work it out for you
I'm gonna work it out
'Cause time won’t work it out
I'm gonna work it on out
