Oyster Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the singer compares their world to an oyster, suggesting that it’s full of potential and mystery. They feel disconnected from others, as the other person is up in the clouds while they are at the bottom of the sea, weighed down by pressure. Despite feeling trapped and suffocated, the singer is determined to rise above it and find something valuable, symbolized by the treasure inside the oyster. The lines also hint at feeling conflicted, as they struggle to hold things in but also want to release what they’ve been hiding.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus encourages resilience, urging not to give up. It suggests that life won’t end and that it’s okay to keep going, even through difficult moments. The phrase “get high” could be about rising above struggles or finding joy in a tough time.

[Chorus]
The chorus expresses the difficulty of dealing with inner struggles. The singer feels like they leave behind broken pieces of themselves, which are left in the dark and hard to manage. These “broken parts” might refer to past mistakes, emotional baggage, or feelings of loss that the singer can’t fully repair. They struggle to keep up with the pieces of themselves they can’t fix and leave them behind, hoping to move forward, even if it’s not easy.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singer continues the oyster metaphor, revealing that while their world may be an oyster, their heart is like a pearl—precious but hard to find. This suggests that their true self is hidden or difficult to access, and they warn others to be careful in approaching them. They feel the weight of pressure but are willing to let go of things that no longer serve them. The lines also reflect a sense of being everything at once: the salt, the seaweed, the fish, and the feed, which suggests being both part of the environment and consumed by it.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this pre-chorus, the message remains the same—encouraging not to cry or hide from difficulties. Instead, it tells the listener to push through, try, and rise above, reminding them that life is not over and there’s always a chance to get back up.

[Chorus]
The second chorus repeats the same themes as the first, emphasizing the struggle to manage the broken parts left behind. These emotional fragments continue to weigh the singer down, even though they try to move forward. The repeated imagery of leaving these parts “in the dark” suggests a desire to hide or forget these painful pieces, yet they remain present and difficult to escape. It’s a reflection on the difficulty of dealing with one’s inner struggles while still trying to find a way to keep moving forward.
