Being As An Ocean - Blacktop Lyrics






I drove myself out into the wilderness
Not a forced exile, I'm just searching for bliss
Blood orange crescent moon
Illuminate the blacktop's running lines
Carry my spirit far from the chaos and light
Of the city built upon brute and might
The soul deserves savor
The apple, heavy and over-ripe, on my simple pallet
Sickens the stomach

Blind my eyes with flashing lights
Dull my senses in over-sweet wine
Expose me to all of your grandeur
I'd still long for bitter savor

Egos taught to inflame from a young age
Images and influence twisted to persuade
Our common sensibilities toward entering a race
For which there is no end, no hanging yellow tape
Don't let your intellect be insulted
Don't be taken for a fool
It's in knowledge and experience
Wherein a soul's true fortune is made

So I won't buy what they've always tried to sell me
Give up your passions for that 401k
Put away your true callings
Chase that, the American dream
I'd rather run into the wild, experience the wind the cold
Than gain the wealth of the world and forfeit my soul
We fight against the tide to retain that spark of life
That's become all too extinguished
The prevailing of time
To never grow old, only become wise
Taking all the suffering and the bite
One breath at a time
Is all it takes to keep on growing, all it takes to stay alive

  1. S.... Z....

    Fken great song ✌🏻

  2. S.... M....

    So epic!!!!❤❤❤

  3. J.... G....

    Does anyone else think this song sounds like Reminder by The Weeknd? I just can’t unhear it

  4. C.... M....

    This song and all of the album is amazing , not sure what the hell yall listening to

    C.... M....

    That chilling out chorus is so relaxing ❤️

  5. X.... ....

    Real truth hurts.

  6. D.... L....

    Guys how would do you call this sad\dark kind of screamo trap?

  7. M.... T....

    Y'all say what you want about dissatisfaction and all that but I believe this is like the darker side of BAAO.

  8. D.... J....

    Getting Stranger Things vibes starting at 1:45

  9. I.... ....

    what is wrong with this album, the lack of real tracks just show that they did'nt try hard enough

    I.... ....

    I honestly understand why they had issues with their contract now, cause they lacked actual songs.

    I.... ....

    Sticky Stanley I like Linkin Park, so no.

    I'm not talking about the songs themselves, I'm talking about the listening experience, which was outright dull. The interludes are good to some extent, but they do not match the theme of the album at all. Like I said, if they made them as outros or intros, where the themes would coincide, then it would have been fantastic.

    And the backwards song? I love it as a single, yeah. But it ruined the listening experience so much. Tell me, why would I buy an album saying it has 14 songs, but there are actually only 8 songs? I'd rather just listen to the singles, which sucks.

    I.... ....

    I don't buy full albums just so I can listen to few of the songs. I buy albums cause I want to listen to every single one of them.

    I.... ....

    Calebe Xepa how has nobody mentioned the fact that the interludes make the tracklist a poem, and caleb, theyre just trying to do something different and what they want with their art, if they were making the same thing over and over again you would bitch and complain about that to, so wtf! Nobody is forcing you to like their music, but you should at least respect them for making it their own.

    I.... ....

    Brad Suhrbier Dude, I fucking loved their fucking songs, read what I wrote. I will always love these guys, but the listening experience for this album sucked.

  10. B.... M....

    does this sample reminder by the weeknd or am i losing my mind

    B.... M....

    I'm 99% sure this is a Reminder sample, there's like no way they made this by accident, making it sound the same.

    B.... M....

    Blake McConnell Dude this drove me crazy. Glad I'm not the only one

    B.... M....

    yes its from reminder.

    B.... M....

    i really like the new album alot its kinda has a pop metal/ trap metal feel its different and def original

    B.... M....

    When does the sample start? I just noticed that there is a "Party Monster" sample in "Thorns" starting at 2:31
