General Informations

The 10th track on Evanescence's self-titled album, Evanescence (album).

In an interview with Spin.com Amy announced the name of three new songs to be included in Evanescence's new record, among these was "Oceans":

[Oceans] starts with a big, low synth and a vocal, then the band kicks in. It's big and lush. We've been having a lot of fun playing that one especially. I get inspired by nature, the ocean's been a theme. Brokenness has become a little bit of theme, without necessarily offering a solution.

Evanescence premiered Oceans on the 17 August 2011 during Evanescence's show in Nashville.

Lyrics

Don't wanna be the one to walk away But I can't bare the thought of one more day I think I finally understand what it means to be lost

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 down on me

Cross the oceans in my mind Find the strength to say goodbye In the end you'll never again wash the blood from your hands

For it's a fall from where we were before 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

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 life Find a way to draw the line In the end you'll never again wash the blood from your hands

And we'll never learn So we fall down again Heaven help me find a way to dream within this nightmare

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 draw the line In the end you'll never again wash the blood from your hands
