Tide
Belle Who Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything falls apart
It's the soundtrack of our lives dark
The sweetest lullaby
Too long we've been living the lie
In the arms of the tide
Can't you see this will break your heart?
It's time to say goodnight
You can feel it on your skin
You can feel it on your skin
You feel it on your skin
The water is coming
We must stop running
Cold so cold
How long will we pretend
If this is the end
The waves will be taking us down together
No more I long for your call
Nor the love in your eyes
It's something I feared from the start
If I should stay here
I would just poison your heart
You can feel it in the air
You can feel it in the air
You feel it in the air
The water is coming
We must stop running
Cold so cold
How long will we pretend
If this is the end
The waves will be taking us down together
The water is rising
We must stop hiding
Cold so cold
We've started to descend
If this is the end
The tears will be gone with the flood forever
The water is coming
We must stop running
Cold so cold
How long will we pretend
If this is the end
The waves will be taking us down together
The water is rising
We must stop hiding
Cold so cold
We've started to descend
If this is the end
The tears will be gone with the flood forever
The song "Tide" by Belle Who portrays a relationship that has been built upon lies and falsehoods. The singer is in love with the sound of goodbye because it means the end of the relationship which has caused so much pain and darkness. The idea of the tide, with the waves coming in, is a metaphor for the rising tension in the relationship that cannot be ignored any longer.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has been pretending to hold on to the relationship, but now realizes that it is time to let go. The water is coming and they must stop running, face the difficult truth, and end it before it destroys them both. The climax of the song comes with the realization that the tears will be gone forever, and this finality is what prompts the call to stop hiding and descend together.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tide" by Belle Who speak to the universal human experience of the bittersweet pain of ending a relationship that has caused so much chaos and heartache.

You who think that Ylönen may have composed this tune probably get confused by the fact that he actually composed a medley for the film Blackout. However, he DID NOT compose all music that is used in that film. It is just a coincidence that he also produced Belle Who's album. To produce is not to compose. Clear?

I saw in many websites and said that it's composed by Lauri... any ways the song is good please don't "fight" about it
Veli Pesonen
The exact data is as follows: Composed by Matias Malmivaara/Belle Who; Lyrics by Belle Who/Lauri Ylönen/Matias Malmivaara; Arranged by Belle Who/Jarkko Kumpulainen. This can be found on vidchill website.

The composer of this tune must have listened to Catatonia.
