Tidal Wave
Alexander Biggs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are needed now
While you're far away
I can feel you frown like I feel you pulling all your strings

I am distant now, I am far away
And it feels like I'm the one living in outer space
I've been outside of myself,
I'm living miles away

You are the moon and I'm a tidal wave
And all that I touch is gonna wash away
You are the moon and I'm a tidal wave
Yeah, the nights are wild and the morning is a slow decay

You are needed now
More than anything
And I wish that you could see the love I've got to give

I am distant now
I am underground
And your gravity is crushing as it ways me down

You are the moon and I'm a tidal wave
And all that I touch is gonna wash away
You are the moon and I'm a tidal wave
Yeah, the nights are wild and the morning is a slow decay

Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water fever running through my bones
Got that white water run
Got that white water run

Oh you are the moon and I'm a tidal wave
And all that I touch is gonna wash away
You are the moon and I'm a tidal wave




Yeah, the nights are wild and
The morning is a slow decay

Overall Meaning

The song "Tidal Wave" by Alexander Biggs talks about two people who are separated physically and emotionally but still connected to each other. The song opens with the singer expressing the need for the other person in his life, even though they are far away. He feels their absence and can sense the other person's sadness and detachment. In contrast, the singer feels like he is living "miles away" from himself and is disconnected from his emotions.


The chorus compares the other person to the moon, which controls the tides, while the singer is a tidal wave that is affected by the other person's pull. The analogy suggests that the other person has a significant impact on the singer's emotions and behavior. The second verse shows that the singer has withdrawn from the relationship, describing himself as "underground" and feeling crushed by the other person's gravity. The song speaks to the complexities of relationships and how emotional distance can lead to a slow decay of love, causing different emotions like fear, anger or longing for the other person.
