Background and composition[]
In an interview with Spin, Amy announced the name of three new songs to be included in Evanescence's third record, among these was "Oceans", which was described by Amy as a song "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." Evanescence premiered "Oceans" on August 17, 2011 during the show in Nashville. The song was added to the set list in support of Evanescence.
On the track-by-track interview of the album's deluxe DVD, Amy discusses the song:
I love “Oceans.” It’s one of my favourite songs on the record ‘cause it does have a different feel but at the same time it kind of reminds me of older Evanescence when we were writing a long time ago. It kind of resonate with "Imaginary" a little bit. I love synthesizers now. I love playing with them. It’s so fun. It’s got this big synthesizer sound going on in it. I guess it's a little indulgent.

Don’t want to be the one to walk away Can’t find the road to lead us out of this With the whole world falling around me Cross the oceans in my mind Fallen so far from where we were before Like I could only dream to do Cross the oceans in my mind And we never learn so we fall down again Cross the oceans in my mind |
