Ocean Drive by KALUMA, Stephanie Schulte
This evocative track explores the themes of escapism, love's illusions, and the inevitable confrontation with reality. The lyrics depict a journey down a metaphorical and literal highway, symbolizing a relationship on the brink of collapse. Despite their attempts to maintain an illusion of love and happiness, the protagonists are acutely aware of their emotional emptiness and impending doom. The recurring motif of "dancing with the devil" suggests a dangerous flirtation with self-deception and destructive behavior. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of urgency and desperation as they hold on to each other while facing an uncertain future. #IllusionOfLove #Escapism
