My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon everytime (everytime)
You are not around

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me
Love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say (to say)

I'm slowly drifting, drifting away
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mr. Probz's song Waves describes the feeling of slowly drifting away from someone, which feels like drowning and pulling against the stream. The opening lines, "My face above the water, My feet can't touch the ground" suggest a sense of being temporally suspended between two worlds; one of familiarity and ease, and the other of the unknown and uncomfortable. The singer then goes on to say, "I can see the sands on the horizon every time / You are not around," which implies that when the subject of the song is not present, it's like he's lost his grounding and feels unmoored.

Throughout the song, he wishes that he could be easier to love, but still struggles to find the right words to say. This is perhaps the root of the disconnect that's causing such a tumultuous feeling in his life. The chorus "Wave after wave, I'm slowly drifting (drifting away), And it feels like I'm drowning, pulling against the stream" is repeated, emphasizing the feeling of being pulled under by a current that the singer feels powerless to stop. Ultimately, the song paints a vivid picture of the helplessness one can feel when struggling to find a connection with someone, and the impact that such an absence can have.

Line by Line Meaning

My face above the water
I am barely keeping my head above water

My feet can't touch the ground
I am in over my head and can't find solid ground

Touch the ground, and it feels like
Finding a foothold would provide much-needed stability

I can see the sands on the horizon everytime (everytime)
I am aware of a world beyond my immediate struggles

You are not around
I am missing someone who could help me through this

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
I am losing control and slipping further away

Wave after wave
Challenges keep coming and I can't catch my breath

And it feels like I'm drowning
I am overwhelmed and suffocating

Pulling against the stream
I am fighting against the current of my circumstances

I wish I could make it easy
I am struggling and wish it weren't so hard

Easy to love me
I want to be cared for despite my difficulties

But still I reach, to find a way
I am persisting despite the challenges

I'm stuck here in between
I am caught in a difficult and uncertain situation

I'm looking for the right words to say (to say)
I am searching for the right way to express myself and my struggles

And it feels like I'm drowning
I am once again overwhelmed and suffocating

Pulling against the stream
I am still fighting against the current of my circumstances

Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach

@michaelreynolds2970

My thoughts exactly 100% agree and like you said pull it does so just hurtful enough to enjoy and feel pleased that many pains have been endured and yet (hear) we are listening to this song right here! Right now! Life is both a wonderful gift or a hardship curse, we choose and sometimes we switch sides, no one ever said it would be easy and those that did were super wealthy, a fool, a lier, or one who knows not , lacking real world experience therefore ignorant to the pitfalls and golden ladders life offers.

this is the song I choose to listen to when I need to completely break myself down and it works, as being a survivor and activist for Suicide awareness & Depression sometimes I become overwhelmed and need to break myself down, I have struggled with suicide attempts and depression for 20 years, and have wait forever for a song like this to come along that has the ability to break me down and may me stronger so I can go and attack this issue full force, I do daily streams, and it's alot when I have my own completely shattered fallen apart life,mind,spirit,and heart, but have 20K plus people who depend on me so sometimes I need to completely just let it all out and this song helps so much.!

Somehow these lyrics resonated deep within me that I remembered them and could find this beautiful song, that's been played several times in the last 8 years I've known it.
