Oceans Ate Alaska - Hikari Lyrics

When you're on the train leaving to school and blasting this song on your headphones... Bliss

Headphones in sitting on a mountain top smoking a joint

Oh shit. Those last few notes just end it? Damn.

https://youtu.be/Tw87O4ufL0w i did this vocal cover, check it out guys

I see Oceans Ate Alaska I click.

Music is my life 😁👍

Hikari mean Light in Japanese

The opening reminded me of Tenchu! 🤘

Every once i a while i come back to metalcore songs and listen to the screams. It always gave a goosebump everytime legit and it also makes me sad because now i mostly listen to hip hop. I fear for this genre, it slowly becoming my childhood memories.

Peole make fun of this genre and the screams. They just cant see the beauty of it

I wish this song can be played live :(

If anybody knows songs which sound like the jazzy peaceful intro of this song, please let me know! It's so beautiful! :)

this is one of the most beautiful things ive heard. Love the jazzy feel at beginning and the core towards the end

.. Just beautiful! Art.

Trying my best not to be sexist and no offence to the vocalist, but this song will go very well with Female vocals. Try featuring a female vocalist for the next album. And i have seen Chris' Instagram, you guys are making an Album. 🤘🤙

the clean part is so longed for man

I listened to this probobly 30 times in a row tonight. Wow.

Maybe I just haven't heard too much metal, but this to me is literally the most melodic and well written song in the metal genre I have ever heard.

I wish they would make a whole song just like the intro.

man, this song has something special.. whenever i heard it... its slowly reminds me about myself when i forget it... thanks Ocean Ate Alaska! 💞

10/10 would like again

I miss james :(

Get over it.

光。HIKARI

Name of the font 🙏🏻

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Sometimes losing yourself is the only way back home

Dude the bass line at the end made the song!

Every time something important to me is on my mind and I hear this song, it's like I suddenly know the answer. It's about what makes me happy no matter what barriers make me feel it's not worth it. I feel something different every time I hear this song and it's always something beautiful.

That note that’s belted out from 2:21-2:25 👌

This songs a piece of art

Blown away by the lyrics in this album.

Check my lyric video of this beautiful song! https://youtu.be/mH2OXLDvgIQ

Literally my favorite song ever.

ocean ate alaska bitch

this song makes me cry at the line " believe in me, its all you need, true happiness is the greatest discovery." this song is truly beautiful and amazing. thank you Oceans ate Alaska for being there when I needed someone.

I like to crack open a cold one with the boys and listen to this song, blaze it

epic bass at the end 🙊

なんで光なん？

Man i love that jazzy intro, wish jazz music was more serious not so obnoxious.

Can’t even begin to describe Chris turners technique on drums it’s beautiful 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

This song deserves more attention than it's gotten. Its so good!

fuck this weeaboo shit

Ok I actually like it now, sorry guys

i love this song

they are just something else.

beautiful, reminds me of Blue Lungs

probably, this guys could do any type of music <3

Weeabo core

love their artstyle

Hikari is my brother name tf

MirzanDo your brother has a unique name hakari means light in Japanese

Tfw you look for Kingdom Hearts but get some edgy weird shit instead

Dream Drop Sora tfw you stumble across music that isn’t your taste and then go out of the way to comment negatively, what a massive cuntlord you are lulw

So beauty 😭😭😭😭

I am actually liking this better than their old stuff. It seems to have a bit more variety on first impressions.

nice song!

listened to this song sitting at my lake.brought me into one of the most euphoric energy ive ever felt,brought me back to a full blown acid trip...

Experimental

4/10 not a fan of their new-er sound.
good to see their still making music though!

fav song

damn dat opening

the only thing i'm upset about, is that the album is too short... almost like an EP... but otherwise this is THE shit man keep it up OAA <3

amazing song! What's it about though?

Talking in Whispers well the band said that Hikari means light and the Lotus flower represents how they feel. They all feel mentally and physically great and feel like the band is in a great place right now.

Now for me this song has a very positive message. Usually people throughout their lives go through bad moments where you feel lost and at the very bottom but the band says that "sometimes losing yourself is the only way back home" which means that we learn from this experiences and become stronger as an individual which helps us to ultimately reach true happiness, or in other words, feel like youre at the very top. Is a very positive message this song deliver. Is simple: no matter what dark moments you go through, or what other people think of you, never give up because youll make it through and you will become a stronger person.

great reply, thanks!

Mr.Keiser wow

Wow this song was just beautiful

omg, why is this song so short? can't stop listening it

I thought they were covering Hikari by Utada Hikaru. You know, the song from Kingdom Hearts?

loving the peaceful vibes of the new tracks so far, but they're lacking something to me. I think i just liked the fast-paced brutality of Lost Isles

Honestly im really disappointed with this album i have respect for jeka i just feel like he doesn’t fit this band like james did I personally dont like the cleans whatsoever but his growls and screams are ok they kept the beasts basically the same to lost isles and i love that but sadly jeka honestly seems to not have the voice for the band sadly

Dgen846 he compleyely fits in the band idk what youre talking about he even gives them a more melodic sound and his cleans are way better than his screams. James would never do a song like this. His cleans were not that good man. He was a beast screaming but its time to get over him man hes gone.

Mr.Keiser ik ik i love jekas vocals I just gotta get used to them his growing is decent just needs time and a bit more practice on the highs once he masters that he is golden

Dgen846 James is better

You see there's mixed feeling with both Jake and James. James was better with the high screams and the growls were ok. Jake on the otherhand is so good with his cleans. Yes he can work on the growls a bit but I don't seem why you think he doesn't fit in the band. This was his debut album with the band and he did great. I look forward to the next one. Jake is an amazing replacement for the band and their future.

wage war = decent screamo band
oceans ate alaska = god tier

that intro is so fucking jazzy i love it

bass tabs?

That intro is one of the coolest things i have heard reminds me of cowboy bebop waltz for zizi kinda like a chill bittersweet mood to it. ooa are absolutely amazing super talented!

Can we appreciate 3:01-3:16

japanese jazzcore

I think james on screams and this guy on cleans would be insane or combining the twos screaming would be gr8

Extra special cause I live in Alaska : )) But seriously I recently got into this band and I am really impressed ^ ^

I'm on the verge of discovering this person I'm meant to be

You're always the person you need to be sister.

OAA is my favorite band. And of course they never let me down.

sounds like early color morale...... nothing new.

lmao obviously not

This does not sound like color morale

That was a great album but it sounds nothing like this...lmao

Cum so hard from this beauty 👍

Well this is different but pretty good

I love it! 🔥🔥

2:30 I love his vocals so much in this part

Makotoshinkaianimeostcore

That bass tho ! Good job Mike!

agreed.

Can we talk about the outro for a second. Cause that slap play was really nice maybe nothing insanley technical but still it reminded me quite a bit of Animals as Leaders and that is always a plus.

simjo1311 yes glad someone else noticed that! I love this outro just as much as I love AAl

simjo1311 I agree fully I love it..as for the intro it was ok for me, but I was waiting for the vocals and maybe it's just me. I always like to dive into the vocals.

love this :)

Aún no me convence la voz, pero muchos nuevos vocalistas empiezan así y luego evolucionan y mejoran su voz siendo aún más brutales

Anyone else expecting them to shout "HIKARI!" after the line "discovering this person I'm meant to be"? I mean it kinda works.

Jack_FFZ no one is expecting that sorry

Jack_FFZ no one is expecting that sorry

FINDING OUT THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN RELEASED is. the best gift EVER for 17# birthday!....

Does anyone know of any bands/artists that have the same style that's at the beginning of this song?

Colton Arrington I would say any Math Rock band like TTNG, Covet, Chon, Etc.

Colton Arrington Protest the Hero my guy

Joe Zito yeah love them too! Should also check out Exotic Animal Petting Zoo.. they are so great.

Lots of Japanese music has this style. Especially Japanese Jazz.

Listen to polyphia they use jazz drumming in practically every song.

Vocalist on point
