Title

Only to The Ocean

Description

"Only the Ocean" by Jack Johnson is a song that captures a sense of contemplation and reflection through one's connection to the ocean. While the song doesn't explicitly state how the ocean inspires the lyrics, it evokes feelings of the change, abyss, and mystery that is often associated with the ocean. Oceans are a powerful metaphor that symbolize the depths of human emotions and the vast expanse of the unknown. This song uses this connection to the ocean to portray one’s resilience as one faces the unpredictability of life's journey. Additionally, the ocean, with its vastness and eternal rhythm, offers a sense of continuity and connection to something larger than oneself.
