L'oceano di silenzio

The lyrics describe a speaker entering a quiet inner state, imagined as a vast ocean. At first, the darkness of their thoughts makes the world difficult to see clearly. A light then seems to offer perspective, and the speaker finds peace within. The emotional movement is from heaviness and stillness toward calm, though the pace remains slow throughout.

The “ocean of silence” suggests a deep, boundless quiet rather than simple absence of sound. It has “no center or beginning,” making it feel outside ordinary boundaries. The image of light illuminating “black thoughts” may imply insight or hope that helps the speaker face difficult feelings. The references to “other laws” and “another dimension” suggest a state in which time and experience feel different from everyday life.

The German lines add pain, life’s stillness, and a distant, dark memory of having lived “up there or in water.” This could suggest a dreamlike recollection, a feeling of belonging to another place, or simply an image arising during contemplation. The lyrics do not explain the memory, so it need not be read as a literal past life. Overall, the silence seems both mysterious and comforting, while its calm leaves room for unresolved sadness.
