From the recording THE DEEP OCEAN OF LOVE
“THE DEEP OCEAN OF LOVE” is created with regard to the oil painting “The Seaside at Palavas” produced by French painter Gustave Courbet in 1854, which I am also including as a visual reference that is setting the undertone for the lyrical narrative.
Taking a romantic voyage around oneself in the context of another person can be a profound experience, like diving into the deep ocean, and such an adventure is not to be missed. It is yet about dealing with fears of surrendering oneself, emotionally, to another, when having undeniable chemistry. Logic has nothing to do with how one feels. In love, nothing is safe or predictable, like in dangerous ocean waters, but if one is brave enough, the ultimate reward is the voyage of the heart.
Lyrics
“THE DEEP OCEAN OF LOVE”
Lyrics by Diana Guber
I Wonder, Why And What You [‘re] Here For?
Floating on Small Waves? Staying on the Shore?
So You’re Afraid to Dive Into the Ocean of Love?
Waiting For insights That May Never Come
Do You Think That Love Would Find a Way
To Come to You [And] Show Itself One Day?
What if Love is Staring You in the Face?
Calling You The Heart’s Treasures to Embrace
Together, Against the Currents We Could Strive
Deep Into the Ocean of Love Bravely Dive
Emotions, Rolling in Like Waves, No Need to Hide
Love is the Deep Ocean, Not A Drifting Tide
Love is the Deep Ocean, Not A Drifting Tide
I Wonder, Where Your Heart is, Wandering Elsewhere?
On the Surface, Like a Sail, Flapping in the Air?
Wasting Your Time, Do You Not See Why?
Delve Into Depths of Love While The Currents [‘re] High
Do You Think That Love Would Find a Way
To Come to You [And] Show Itself One Day?
What if Love is Staring You in the Face?
Calling You The Heart’s Treasures to Embrace
Together, Against the Currents We Could Strive
Deep Into the Ocean of Love Bravely Dive
Emotions, Rolling in Like Waves, No Need to Hide
Love is the Deep Ocean, Not A Drifting Tide
Love is the Deep Ocean, Not A Drifting Tide
So Many Times, Emotions We Consciously Dismiss
Afraid of Being Pushed Into the Dark Abyss
But Strangers [‘re] Thrown Together Not by Mistake
As if Angels Dreamt of a Voyage We Undertake
With No Maps to Guide Us, Our Hearts [‘re] Wide Awake
Together, Against the Currents We Could Strive
Deep Into the Ocean of Love Bravely Dive
Emotions, Rolling in Like Waves, No Need to Hide
Love is the Deep Ocean, Not A Drifting Tide
Love is the Deep Ocean, Not A Drifting Tide
C’est Fini
