Grebes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you pick the number and I'll call the name
soon I will be with you but it ain't the same, I know
you got bigger but I couldn't relate
the future never comes but it's getting late, I'm still here

all I see you
all I know you
all I hope for, is I'll see you again
before I meet the end




sick of taking numbers that I couldn't see
you gotta hurt somebody to get what you need, I know its real
I'm still dreaming of the quickest way out
he tied your hands and covered your mouth, I know

all I see you
all I know you
all I hope for, is I'll see you again
before I meet the end

you find the reason and I'll find the way
you gotta hurt somebody to make your pay, I feel it too
if I learn a lesson then I'll soon forget
keep it in the heartache that I can't feel yet

all I see you
all I know you
all I hope for, is I'll see you again
before I meet the end

Overall Meaning

The song "wyd" by Grebes is a song about longing for someone, but feeling disconnected from them due to changes in their lives. The opening lines of the song - "you pick the number and I'll call the name, soon I will be with you but it ain't the same, I know" - suggest a desire to reconnect with someone, but an acknowledgement that things are not as they once were. The singer notes that the person they are singing to has "got bigger," which could mean a number of things - perhaps the person has grown in popularity or success, or simply changed in some way that makes it harder for the singer to relate to them.


The chorus of the song - "all I see you, all I know you, all I hope for, is I'll see you again before I meet the end" - reinforces the idea that the singer is longing to reconnect with this person, while also hinting at a sense of urgency or even mortality. There is a feeling that time is slipping away, that the "future never comes but it's getting late." This could be interpreted as a fear of missing out, of not being able to reconnect with this person before it's too late.


The second verse of the song - "sick of taking numbers that I couldn't see, you gotta hurt somebody to get what you need, I know it's real" - suggests that the singer has been through some difficult experiences, perhaps related to trying to reconnect with this person. There is a sense that there is a price to pay for going after what you want, and that this can involve hurting others. The final lines of the song - "if I learn a lesson then I'll soon forget, keep it in the heartache that I can't feel yet" - suggest a sort of resignation, or at least an acknowledgement that the singer may not be able to fully process or understand what they are going through.


Overall, "wyd" is a poignant and introspective song that deals with themes of loss, longing, and the passage of time. It speaks to the idea that even when we want to reach out to someone, there can be barriers that prevent us from doing so.
