Ozone

Chase Atlantic

Lyrics

[Intro: Christian Anthony]
Really?
J'comprends pas
Hmm, en fait, je sais pas pourquoi ça me fait comme ça
Chaque fois
Je mérite mieux que toi, tu sais ?
Mais peu importe c'que tu fais, je te veux
Et je ne comprends pas, vraiment pas
Pourquoi je fais ça ? Pourquoi tu fais ça ?
Franchement, j'sais pas, j'sais plus
Ça doit arrêter
Arrêter tout ça

[Verse 1: Mitchel Cave]
I'm feeling numb off of all of these Xans, yeah
I know it’s dumb that I fucked up your plans
I wish I was more of a man
I wish I was more of a man
I know you don't understand
I neglected you again

[Pre-Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
She said, "Don't forget you owe me one"
Ninety-nine cent dreams, maybe you could show me some
She told me she loved me, but I do not deserve your love
I put me above you and honestly I think I fucked it up
I don't know why
[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
I'm 'bout to ruin the Ozone
I know you're sitting alone
I made mistakes with these white lines
And I'm clouded by all of this smoke
I don't think I'll ever get sober, no
I don't think I'll ever get sober

[Verse 2: Christian Anthony]
I’m blown out my mind again
If you need some company, call your friends
You told me I'm sick in the head, yeah
The sickness began with the meds
I might just jump off the ledge or drown in alcohol again

[Pre-Chorus: Christian Anthony]
She said, "Don't forget you owe me one"
I need some reasons to live, maybe you could show me some
She told me she loved me but I do not deserve your love
The same person that I need is the one I'm running from
I don't know why

[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
I'm 'bout to ruin the Ozone
I know you're sitting alone
I made mistakes with these white lines
And I'm clouded by all of this smoke
I don't think I'll ever get sober
I'm 'bout to ruin the Ozone
I know you're sitting alone
I made mistakes with these white lines
And I'm clouded by all of this smoke
I don't think I'll ever get sober
I don't think I'll ever get sober

I'm 'bout to ruin the Ozone
I know you're sitting alone
I made mistakes with these white lines
And I'm clouded by all of this smoke
I don't think I'll ever get sober
I don't think I'll ever get sober
Oh, no, no

[Outro: Mitchel Cave]
I'm feeling numb off of all of these Xans
I know it’s dumb that I fucked up your plans
I wish I was more of a man
I wish I was more of a man
I know you don't understand
I neglected you again

If you're looking for a song that captures the complex feelings that come with reflecting on a past relationship, look no further than "Ozone" by Chase Atlantic. This song dives deep into the aftermath of a toxic relationship, with lyrics that are both honest and unapologetic. As someone with over 20 years of experience in music, I was struck by the raw vulnerability of this track, and the way that it captures the intricacies of human emotion.

About Ozone

At its core, "Ozone" is a song about regret and reflection. The lyrics, written by Mitchell of Chase Atlantic, focus on his past mistakes and the ways in which he hurt his former partner. He acknowledges that he ignored her, used her, and treated her poorly, all while prioritizing his own needs. But while Mitchell is honest about his faults, he's not necessarily promising to change. In fact, he seems to be telling his ex that he's not capable of being a better person, and that he's resigned to staying the same.

Despite the bleak subject matter, "Ozone" is a beautiful song that showcases Chase Atlantic's unique sound. The band blends elements of alternative rock, R&B, and even electronic music to create a track that's both sonically interesting and emotionally resonant. The beat is slow and steady, building tension throughout the song's runtime. Mitchell's vocals are soulful and evocative, adding an extra layer of depth to the poignant lyrics.

One thing that sets "Ozone" apart from other breakup songs is its complexity. Rather than portraying the end of a relationship as a straightforward "good versus evil" dichotomy, the song acknowledges that both partners are flawed and that the dynamics between them are messy. Mitchell talks about wanting to escape the "ozone" (or atmosphere) of the relationship, but also acknowledges that he's not sure that he can. This tension between wanting to move on and feeling stuck in the past is something that anyone who's been in a difficult relationship can likely relate to.

Another noteworthy aspect of "Ozone" is its use of imagery. The title itself is a metaphor for the "bubble" that exists between two people in a relationship. Mitchell uses other vivid descriptions throughout the song, such as the line "You're all I see when I'm looking through this bottle", which speaks to the way that people can become consumed by their relationships and lose sight of everything else around them.

Ultimately, "Ozone" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that deserves to be heard. Its exploration of the complexities and messiness of relationships sets it apart from other breakup songs, and its poignant lyrics and unique sound make it truly unforgettable. Whether you're going through a breakup or simply appreciate great music, "Ozone" is a track that's sure to leave an impact.
