Waves
7. Radio Record | Mr. Probz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 singer's face is above the water but their feet can't touch the ground, making them feel helpless and unable to escape their situation. They can see the sands on the horizon, a symbol of hope and freedom, but they can't reach them because the person who gives them direction and strength is not around. The repetition of "drifting away" and "wave after wave" emphasizes the feeling of being slowly pulled away from safety and drowning in their own emotions.


The singer wishes that it was easier for people to love them, but they are stuck in between trying to find the right words to say and expressing themselves authentically.

Overall, the lyrics of "Waves" convey a sense of vulnerability and searching for meaning in a world that can be difficult to navigate alone.
