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 is "Oceans", which is 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.

Lyrics

Don’t want to be the one to walk away But I can’t bear the thought of one more day I think I finally understand what it means to be lost Can’t find the road to lead us out of this A million miles from where we burned the bridge Can’t keep pretending everything’s gonna be alright With the whole world falling around me Cross the oceans in my mind Find the strength to say goodbye In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands Fallen so far from where we were before You’ll never find what you’ve been searching for Someone to fill the void and make up for all of those missing pieces of you Like I could only dream to do Cross the oceans in my mind Find the strength to say goodbye Everything that we believed in was a lie Cross the oceans in your mind Find a way to blur the line In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands And we never learn so we fall down again Heaven help me find a way to dream within this nightmare Cross the oceans in my mind Find the strength to say goodbye Everything that we believed in was a lie Cross the oceans in your mind Find a way to blur the line In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
