Black Keys, The - Oceans & Streams Lyrics






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?

  1. F.... B....

    Fuck you tlc

  2. F.... B....

    Memberries.

  3. S.... H....

    I interpret this as a song about growing apart, about realising one day that you are no more the person who fell in love with someone/something that used to be so important to you but for whom you can no longer feel connected with in the same way.

  4. D.... R....

    2019 still badass as ever 🤘🤘

  5. .... ....

    sounds like a song from El Camino

  6. s.... b....

    God Damn it, I used to live in San Diego and listen to this song cruising the 5. Now I'm stuck in a Midwestern shit city and these lyrics have never been more fucking real!

  7. L.... M....

    Viva La Vida but with soul

  8. �.... �....

    this song sounds like 90 years old man singing it in bathroom

  9. M.... M....

    Sums up my life pretty well. When i joined the military I was so motivated and excited, because I thought life was going to be better. Jump to a year later, I'm even more fucked up than I was before, and that's really saying something. Doing the exact same shit i was doing at a minimum wage gas station job with even more bullshit and lying assholes to deal with. The only thing that keeps me going is that I get to sleep at the end of a 12 to 16 hour day.

    M.... M....

    1) you didn’t think of that before you joined the military?

    2) you want some cheese with your whine?!? Jesus Christ!

    3) learning how to kill at a gas station?!? What?!

  10. L.... A....

  17. B.... B....

    I'm just now gettin familiar with The Keys. N I can already saw I fkn love them. Song is on repeat

  18. A.... J....

    So is this song about losing your passion? That's the message i got from it.

    A.... J....

    Or it could be that the character has just killed someone. He has a lot of guilt churning inside him. Tells his love that the world he wanted had a place for her. Then realizes he needs to leave because what if the police get there and find him red-handed. I feel no song on this album has a moral or message, they're just stories either written in first person or third, such as So He Won't Break. That's why it's my favorite album of there's.

    A.... J....

    I defintey interpreted it this way

    A.... J....

    Thats what makes it Blues ?

  19. m.... ....

    I love this guy's voice, reminds me of Jack Bruce, but more nuanced, strong, moving, sometimes he sounds like a black man, best voice I've heard since I first heard Eddie Vedder. This Band is so awesome.

  20. S.... N....

    BBC the black hole documentary brought me here!

  21. C.... M....

    My aim it used to be so true
    My world had a place in it darling just for you
    Fucking hate this teardrops from the harrrt, but this song is awesome

  22. A.... ....

    what about lakes and rivers

    A.... ....

    seas and creeks

    A.... ....

    oceans and weed

    A.... ....

    @Aeroplane Blues hell ye boi

  23. I.... ....

  25. C.... G....

    I'm sick and got to go to bed!
