wave
BURNS feat. Elvis Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were the one cool thing
To happen all year
Oh yeah
I'm on the run
Cause Things only complicate
If you stay in one place too long
Good heavens
That never
Destroys you
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Why is a failure cause for your celebration
You took a West Coast jab on your Summer vacation
You'd be the DJ
In this discotech war
If it's gonna end tonight
Meet me out on the floor
(Two-three-four)
Or so long
Goodbye
Good heavens
The void
That never
Destroys you
Pulls you like a tidal wave
(Summer vacation)
Pulls you like a tidal wave
(On a crustacean)
It's never
The friends that just fall behind
A feeling our firesides
Won't forget
Can't sever
A void
That never
Destroys you
Pulls you like a tidal wave
(Summer vacation)
Pulls you like a tidal wave
(It's a long Summer vacation)
Old friend
So long
Goodnight
Old friend
So long
Goodnight
Old friend
So long
Goodnight
Old friend
So long
Goodnight
Old friend
So long
Goodnight
The song "Wave" by BURNS feat. Elvis Brown talks about a fleeting relationship that was just for fun and entertainment, and how it is better to move on than to cling onto things too long. The singer reminisces about how the relationship was the only exciting thing to happen in the year so far but realizes that it is time to move on. The void that never destroys pulls the singer like a tidal wave, representing how the past can haunt us and make us yearn for something that has already passed. The singer talks about how failures can be celebrated, and how that can be liberating since it takes off a lot of pressure. The lyrics also talk about letting go of things that don't serve us anymore, such as friends or situations that pull us down.
The song talks about the DJ in a discotech war, which reflects the parties where people compete to have the best sound or atmosphere. The line "if it's gonna end tonight, meet me out on the floor" represents the idea of living in the moment and being present since you never know when something will end. The lyrics "You took a West Coast jab on your Summer vacation" talks about how traveling can change one's perspective on life, and it's essential to explore and discover new things. The line "It's never the friends that just fall behind" talks about how sometimes people that we think are our friends may not be there for us when we need them the most. Finally, the line "Can't sever a void that never destroys you" represents how some things will stay with us forever, and we can't just cut them out of our lives.

You were just fun
You were only a source of entertainment
You were the one cool thing
You were the only good thing that happened
To happen all year
In this entire year so far
Oh yeah
An expression of agreement
I'm on the run
I am in a rush
Cause Things only complicate
Because situations only become more complex
If you stay in one place too long
When you remain in a location for an extended period
Good heavens
An expression of surprise
The void
The emptiness or blankness
That never
An ongoing situation or feeling
Destroys you
Doesn't annihilate you
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Drives you insistently, like the ocean's surge
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Drives you insistently, like the ocean's surge
Why is a failure cause for your celebration
Why are you happy about your own defeat
You took a West Coast jab on your Summer vacation
You have a memory of a visiting the West coast on your last summer vacation
You'd be the DJ
You could have been the disk jockey
In this discotech war
In this contest to play music in discotheques
If it's gonna end tonight
If this is the final event
Meet me out on the floor
Come and join me on the dance floor
(Two-three-four)
Counting to start dancing to the beat
Or so long
Otherwise, farewell
Goodbye
Parting remark
Good heavens
An expression of surprise
The void
The emptiness or blankness
That never
An ongoing situation or feeling
Destroys you
Doesn't annihilate you
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Drives you insistently, like the ocean's surge
(Summer vacation)
Recalling a past summer vacation
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Drives you insistently, like the ocean's surge
(On a crustacean)
Riding a shellfish or seafood
It's never
It is not possible
The friends that just fall behind
Those friends that stop keeping in touch
A feeling our firesides
A sensation in front of the fireplace
Won't forget
Will always be remembered
Can't sever
Cannot be separated
A void
An emptiness or blankness
That never
An ongoing situation or feeling
Destroys you
Doesn't annihilate you
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Drives you insistently, like the ocean's surge
(Summer vacation)
Recalling a past summer vacation
Pulls you like a tidal wave
Drives you insistently, like the ocean's surge
(It's a long Summer vacation)
Admitting this summer is long and tiring
Old friend
Someone from the past
So long
Goodbye
Goodnight
Wishing for the person to sleep well
Old friend
Someone from the past
So long
Goodbye
Goodnight
Wishing for the person to sleep well
Old friend
Someone from the past
So long
Goodbye
Goodnight
Wishing for the person to sleep well
Old friend
Someone from the past
So long
Goodbye
Goodnight
Wishing for the person to sleep well
Old friend
Someone from the past
So long
Goodbye
Goodnight
Wishing for the person to sleep well

Really enjoying this song. Most times I don't like Rap-like vocals, but they just fit too good in this song!
