The Ocean Is Fake Lyrics

[Intro: Flume]
Oh yeah
I don’t even know the feelin’ anymore

[Chorus: Flume]
‘Cause we’re goin’ all for the reason
Nothing’s gonna be the same, oh no, no
I don’t even know what’s the season
We don’t even talk no more, oh (Wait for me)

[Bridge: Flume]
I don’t even deal with the season
We don’t even talk no more, oh (Oh yeah)
I don’t even know when to see you, ’cause I’m goin’ back in—
I don’t even know the feelin’ anymore

[Chorus: Flume]
‘Cause we’re goin’ all for the reason
Nothing’s gonna be the same, oh no, no (Wait for me)
I don’t even know what’s the season
We don’t even talk no more, oh (Wait for me)

[Post-Chorus: Flume]
Oh yeah
(I don’t even know when to see you, ’cause I’m goin’ back in—)
I don’t even know the feelin’ anymore

[Interlude: JPEGMAFIA & Flume]
Shit
(laughs) You hear that one?
(laughs) Lemme hear that
Did you—, did it catch that? Huh?
Did it get that? Yeah
Alright, lemme hear, lemme hear that back
(laughs)
Woah, da, da-da-da-da-da, da-da

[Verse: JPEGMAFIA & Flume]
Yeah, toxic king
Shoutout all my mistresses
She keep on callin’ and callin’, callin’ then callin’ it
The way she runnin’ from it, I know that she miss the shit
Look how I eurostep that bullshit like Jokić (Wait for me)
I’m sippin’ it straight out the bottle, I don’t post shit
If it ain’t permanent then we can’t take no family pics
If it ain’t permanent then you can get a capture with it, that’s it (Oh yeah)
Bitch, I’m the leader, I’m the ruler, I’m the captain with it
You keep on cappin’ with it, girl, I gotta restore the feelin’
I need a chase, I got a chip on my shoulder (Oh yeah)
I’m savin’ face and I don’t speak on what I’m doin’, they sayin’ it’s fake
Baby, with friends like these, you need snakes (I don’t even know when to see you, ’cause I’m goin’ back in—)
She come around but we don’t share the same space (I don’t even know the feelin’ anymore)
New splitter, I don’t even know what to say
Bitch, the ocean is fake

[Chorus: JPEGMAFIA, JPEGMAFIA & Flume]
(laughs) I don’t even know when to see you
‘Cause I’m goin’ back in time for you
Bitch, the ocean is fake
I don’t even know when to see you
I don’t even know or see you anymore

[Outro: JPEGMAFIA]
Yeah, fuck it

The Ocean Is Fake Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Flume]
The introduction sets a tone of disorientation, with Flume expressing a sense of emotional numbness: “I don’t even know the feelin’ anymore.” This line hints at the internal conflict the protagonist faces, struggling to understand their emotions in the face of an increasingly disconnected world. It establishes a mood of uncertainty and confusion that will permeate the rest of the song.

[Chorus: Flume]
In the chorus, Flume reflects on the shifting nature of reality and relationships. The line “Nothing’s gonna be the same” points to inevitable change, while “We don’t even talk no more” highlights a loss of connection. These lines suggest a growing emotional distance, not just from others but from oneself, as the protagonist faces the difficulty of navigating a world that feels increasingly detached and unreal. The repeated phrase “Wait for me” emphasizes a sense of longing and desire for reconnection.

[Bridge: Flume]
The bridge continues the theme of emotional detachment, reinforcing the protagonist’s sense of disconnection. The line “I don’t even deal with the season” suggests a lack of engagement with time or the cyclical nature of life, further emphasizing feelings of numbness. The inability to recognize “the feelin’ anymore” portrays a struggle with identity and emotional awareness in a world where everything feels out of reach.

[Chorus: Flume]
The chorus is repeated to underline the recurring emotional distance and sense of inevitability. The repetition of “Nothing’s gonna be the same” and “We don’t even talk no more” further solidifies the idea of change, isolation, and the protagonist’s inability to grasp or hold onto the connections that once defined their reality.

[Post-Chorus: Flume]
In the post-chorus, Flume’s repeated reflection on not knowing “the feelin’ anymore” emphasizes the emotional detachment that runs through the song. The lack of clarity and certainty becomes a defining feature of the protagonist’s experience, symbolizing the disconnection from both others and their own emotions.

[Interlude: JPEGMAFIA & Flume]
The interlude introduces a playful yet somewhat surreal exchange between JPEGMAFIA and Flume, with laughter and casual conversation about the recording process. This moment of levity contrasts with the heavier emotional themes of the song, showing the dichotomy between the facade of normalcy and the underlying confusion and discomfort in the lyrics. The conversation feels detached from the rest of the song, highlighting the artificiality of modern interactions.

[Verse: JPEGMAFIA & Flume]
JPEGMAFIA’s verse touches on themes of toxicity, miscommunication, and emotional manipulation. References to “mistresses” and “capturing with it” indicate a transactional, superficial approach to relationships. His confidence and detachment (“Bitch, I’m the leader, I’m the ruler”) reflect a desire to maintain control in a world that feels chaotic and emotionally disconnected. The line “Bitch, the ocean is fake” encapsulates the song’s central metaphor—everything that seems real, including emotions and relationships, is ultimately artificial.

[Chorus: JPEGMAFIA, JPEGMAFIA & Flume]
The chorus here, with JPEGMAFIA joining in, deepens the sense of emotional detachment. The phrase “I don’t even know when to see you” expresses the confusion and difficulty in maintaining connections, while the repetition of “the ocean is fake” reinforces the artificial nature of the relationships and experiences the protagonist is grappling with.

[Outro: JPEGMAFIA]
The outro, marked by JPEGMAFIA’s final exclamation “Yeah, fuck it,” signals a sense of resignation or acceptance of the situation. It’s an abrupt ending, leaving listeners with the feeling that the protagonist has come to terms with the disillusionment and emotional exhaustion of the world they inhabit. This final moment encapsulates the theme of disillusionment that runs throughout the song.
