Inspired by nature, “Oceans” is the tenth track on Evanescence’s self-titled album. It’s a song “with a big, low synth and a vocal, then the band kicks in. It’s big and lush” as described by Amy Lee.
In a track-by-track interview, Lee said:
I think [it’s] a really cool song with some taste of a ne...
[Intro]
Don't want to be the one to walk away
But I can't bear the thought of one more day
I think I finally understand what it means to be lost
[Verse 1]
Can't find the road to lead us out of this
A million miles from where we burned the bridge
Can't keep pretending everything's gonna be alright
With the whole world falling around me
[Chorus 1]
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye

[Verse 2]

You'll never find what you've been searching for
Something to fill the void and make up for all of those missing pieces of you
Like I could only dream to do
[Chorus 2]
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
[Bridge]
And we never learn
So we fall down again
Heaven, help me find a way to dream within this nightmare
[Chorus 2]
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
