The song centers around the metaphor of “oil and water” to represent two individuals in a relationship who are fundamentally incompatible.
The line “We did everything we could trying to collide” speaks to the effort invested in trying to bridge this gap, despite their inherent differences.
The opening lines, “In the dead of night I feel the tide, I see the wreckage in the sea we left behind,” evoke a sense of aftermath and loss, suggesting the relationship has ended and left behind considerable damage.
The lines “All the places that we went have lost their names, All the churches where we stopped are empty frames” suggest that the shared experiences and memories have been tainted by the failure of the relationship.
The repeated chorus emphasizes the futility of trying to force a connection that was never meant to be.
