Tidal Wave
Alpines Sub Focus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it means nothing
Love isn't a game where,
You win something
I'm tired of being
On the outside
I want to know
I'm tired of seeing
All of the sings
I want to feel
Us collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
All the games we play
You're fooling nobody
If it makes you feel good
When you're hurting somebody
I'm tired of being
On the outside
I want to know
What it's like
I'm tired of seeing
All of the signs
I want to feel
Us collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah,
I feel the impact
As we collide
The lyrics of Alpines Sub Focus's song Tidal Wave suggest that love is not a game, and that giving it away like it means nothing doesn't allow for true connection. The singer is tired of being on the outside, watching others experience love, and wants to know what it's like to "collide" with someone. The references to "games" and "fooling nobody" hint at the idea that some people pretend to be in love or use others for their own gain. However, the chorus brings a positive note, as the "tidal wave" of love is described as washing over and colliding with the singer, creating a powerful impact.
Overall, the song seems to be an exploration of the emotions and struggles that come with seeking a genuine and meaningful connection with someone else. It acknowledges that love can be painful and that games are often played, but ultimately it suggests that the overwhelming force of real love is worth seeking out.
Line by Line Meaning
You can't just give it away
Love cannot be given without value
Like it means nothing
It cannot be taken lightly
Love isn't a game where,
It is not a contest to achieve something
You win something
It is not a material gain
I'm tired of being
I am exhausted from being isolated
On the outside
A stranger looking in
I want to know
Longing for understanding
What it's like
To know what it means to be loved
I'm tired of seeing
I am sick of witnessing
All of the signs
Reading into the actions of others
I want to feel
Wanting to experience
Us collide
The joining of two hearts
Your love washes over
The overwhelming nature of your affection
Like a tidal wave
The enormity of your feelings can't be contained
I feel the impact
Experiencing the strength of the emotional surge
As we collide
Two entities becoming one
All the games we play
The various deceits and tricks we use
You're fooling nobody
No one is deceived by those actions
If it makes you feel good
If it brings you pleasure
When you're hurting somebody
At the expense of someone else's feelings
I feel the impact
The emotional intensity that is felt
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
The sound of the chorus
I feel the impact
The emotional intensity that is felt
As we collide
Two entities becoming one

It's June 2013, first year exams have just finished and you're celebrating. It's predrinks and you're chatting to a girl you've had your eye on since freshers. You're so hammered you can only blink one eye at a time, she kisses you as this song is playing in the background. Life is good. Flash forward 8 years later and you're in a fucking pandemic writing stories on youtube at 4am on a workday.
@lieutenantRofls

This song was for some reason the only thing that made me feel alive during a proper dark time a few years ago. Love it
