The Ocean - Holocene [Full Album 2023]

Lyrics to Holocene [Full Album 2023] by The Ocean

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Preboreal No grasp on reality Attention shaping identities We've lost our capacities To construct something tangible Obfuscate the past Implode it with the future into an undifferentiated mass (It's never-ending) A type of never-ending, never-ending presence lost inside We have all lost our way out long ago The spectacle is not a cluster of images Rather it's a social relation Mediated by all those images Images are all there is The quality of life is being impoverished Embrace the loss of knowledge And critical thinking "Les idées s'améliorent. Le sens des mots y participe. Le plagiat est nécessaire. Le progrès l'implique. Il serre de près la phrase d'un auteur, se sert de ses expressions, efface une idée fausse, la remplace par l'idée juste." The spectacle is not a cluster of images Rather it's a social relation Mediated by all those images Images are all there is The quality of life is being impoverished We embrace the rash degradation of knowledge and Critical thought, critical thought We are no longer critical Is not a cluster of images Rather it's a social relation Mediated by all those images Images are all there is The quality of life is being impoverished We embrace the rash degradation of knowledge and Critical thought, critical thought We are not critical 02. 05:04 Boreal In absence of reason Lost all we believed in We kneel to all-seeing Decapitators Cleave to your opinions We're doomed to agree on The lowest of common Denominators In outlands of reason Wry notions kindle The fires of eager Illuminators In absence of reason Lost all we believed in We kneel to all-seeing Decapitators Cleave to your opinions We're doomed to agree on The lowest of common Denominators In outlands of reason Wry notions kindle The fires of eager Illuminators In absence of reason Lost all we believed in We kneel to all-seeing Decapitators Ooh, is this what he preaches? Incendiary speeches camouflaged as Nietzsche's To divide the world into two camps Nothing between "us" and "them" Find a way Tame your fear It rives your brain Time is drawing near Find a way Contain your fear Grind away Find a way Contain your fear Grind away Time is drawing near 03. 08:45 Sea of Reeds They said you came across the sea The vast sea of reeds When a strong east wind blew You came guided by a pillar of fire at night You walked on dry land He smothered all your enemies He smothered all your enemies Clogged the chariot wheels Made them flee, made them disappear What you've seen today you shall never ever see again Clogged the chariot wheels Made them flee, made them disappear What you've seen today you shall never ever see again Blow back Blow back Blow back Blow back I divided the waters for you, not for nothing Not as a favour, not as a proof of sentiment Take it all as it seems Close your eyes and find ways to believe Cherish the miracle that is so crucial To satisfy your vanity I divided the waters for you I divided the waters for you I divided the waters for you I divided the waters for you 04. 14:34 Atlantic Yes, this one time you've been bold But don't you get a big head Remind yourself what you've been told Don't you get carried away You were never, ever good enough Why don't you try harder? If you can understand all the patterns That redound to your detriment If you can understand all the patterns Why do you keep repeating them? High, high defeatism High, high defeatism Now I see you in another light Now I see you in another light Immerse in the dark that you chose to surround you You're so hurt and so weak and you're so damn afraid of the truth And you chew on your pain By denying the past and begriming what used to be your nest You're filled to the brim with a guilt That you can't come to terms with High, high defeatism High, high defeatism Now I see you in another light How can you say that you loved me When all you seek is revenge? How can you say that you loved me When all you seek is retaliation? How can you say that you loved me When all you seek is revenge? How can you say that you loved me When all you seek is retaliation? Son, you'll need a radical change Son, you deserve something better than this Son, you're in need of a tactical switch in defence Son, you'll need a radical change Son, you deserve something better than this Son, you're in need of a tactical switch in defence Son, you'll need a radical change For something better than this But now you're daydreaming Son, you'll need a radical change For something better than this But now you're daydreaming Here comes the dark that you chose to be your playground It's not so hard, with eyes closed, to find your way around Enter the void of your own imagination Harvest the fruits of years of procrastination But now, your daydream is Over 05. 23:23 Subboreal There's a faint longing for something that's long lost and gone That you remember from another life Another life, another time Something quaint, something neat, must have been quite a treat A shared conspiracy Something not around, no more Nothing lives, nothing breathes in this mire of disease The deniers fled into the night Don't know what is wrong or right Something to be relived in psychedelic fever dreams And cherished memories Riddled by nostalgia, did you see? Did you see, did you see this closing in? Did you prepare yourself for the Unfathomable, for the day For the day when this train went completely off the rails And everything went up in flames And nothing here would ever be the same We've gotten used to the cues Waiting for the next batch of bad news Another bolt out of the blue We're waiting for the next batch of bad news We've gotten used to the simple fact All we hold dear is hanging by a thread And every haven that we fabricate Can only be an intermittent space We've gotten used to the simple fact All we hold dear is hanging by a thread And every haven that we fabricate Can only be an intermittent space We've gotten used to the simple fact All we hold dear is hanging by a thread And every haven that we fabricate Can only be an intermittent space We've gotten used to the cues Waiting for the next batch of bad news Another bolt out of the blue We're waiting for the next batch of bad news It's clear that you do have a strong tendency To fall for conspiracy theories Have you ever noticed the myths you believe They grow on the soil of your own inner fears? Brace yourself for the worst Brace yourself for the worst Now you're done You've built your castle All alone To live in it Now you're done You've built your castle All alone To rot in it 06. 28:10 Unconformities (feat. Karin Park) Soon I cannot see the shore Birds circling above Nothing is like it was before I hear a voice talking, is it talking to me? It says, "Just a little moment longer and, and then you'll be free" And I'll be free Lift the curse Baptise me The dream is broken I want to be reformed Let the light shine bright I am just a child In a twisted lullaby My friend The moon doesn't rise until late Despite my sleepy eyes I haven't slept yet Half day and a night and now another day I am clean and ready Waves rise high around me now But my legs are steady My legs are steady Arms to the sky Lift the curse Baptise me The dream is broken I want to be reformed Let the light shine bright I am just a child In a twisted lullaby Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on the bright lights Don't turn on Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on the bright lights Just a wasteland Don't turn on I'm clean and ready Waves rise high around me now But my legs are steady Arms to the sky 07. 37:19 Parabiosis Release Revive Reverse Retire The hearse Give grace It's tough to stay in shape Regenerative medicine We're so focused on extending our lifespan We mustn't want everything We mustn't want everything we can Methuselahs of depravity Obsessed with youth and longevity We must embrace the brevity For the only way to end eternal life is suicide Let it all begin Just another time Sweet dreams... Let it all begin again And never ever learn from our mistakes Let it all begin Picture a world when anybody, anywhere Anytime can rebuild an entire organ All the way from a stem cell and regenerate On command any metabolic process Revert back to pluripotent cells And halt for good the ageing process Overcome, bend the laws of nature Parabiosis Reverse the curse of ageing Regrowing hair and youthful skin Instant rejuvenation to a younger state Parabiosis Regrowing hair and youthful skin Instant regeneration to a healthy state Ambrosia for each and for everyone of us Fix any part as often as you must Any broken part Homo deus By removing death From our lives How different has our world become? We stay young 'til thy kingdom come Face death, effacing death From our every day lives Tell me just how clean have we become? How safe have we become? How bleak has it become? How dead have we become? This is our earthly kingdom We've settled down here to stay For we shall live forever and a day Replenish, recharge our batteries Eternal youth at our fingertips We mustn't want everything We mustn't want everything we can The illusive promise of paradise Representing a denial of earthly life Is no longer projected into the heavens It's embedded within earthly life itself 08. 45:32 Subatlantic Take heed It's getting warm Pay heed To the alarm Take heed You'll be disarmed Pay heed Time has come Hey mate, this ain't going away Death before surrender Wipe your slate clean Take heed It's getting warm Pay heed To the alarm Take heed You'll be disarmed Pay heed Time has come Hey mate, this ain't going away Listen to the wise old men Listen to what they've said From the beginning Over and over again Don't act as if you were Unaware of what lies ahead Squeeze the last drop, lick it up Grow a better crop, use it up We've had time to develop the plot And to plan our new home A new colony Prepare for departure Cities of sand Under glass This is our new civilization And the sun always shines Bright
