Waves
Blondfire Lyrics

You hear them when you try to fall asleep
The sound of waves crashing on the shore can be heard when you close your eyes and try to sleep

They crash to the shore, they come from the deep
The waves break on the shore, originating from the depths of the ocean

As sure as the sun will rise, the sun will set
Like the predictable cycle of the sun rising and setting, waves are a constant force of nature

You taste the salt the closer you get
The closer you approach the ocean, the more you can taste the salt in the air

Waves
The continuous movement of water on the surface of the ocean

Picking you up
Raising you above the water's surface

Pushing you down
Forcing you beneath the water's surface

They're always around
Waves are constantly present, whether we notice them or not

Just like dream
Similar to a dream, waves can transport you to another realm

Silver and green
The color of waves can appear silver or green, and is always changing

We live in between
As humans, we exist in the space between the land and the vastness of the ocean

They can carry you all the way to me
Waves can transport people across great distances, even bringing them to someone else

They can pull you out to the deep blue sea
Waves can also have the power to pull you out to sea, away from safety

Empires will crumble to the sand
Even great empires can fall victim to the power of waves, as they erode the land over time

All that you love can slip through your hand
As with the unpredictable nature of waves, things we cherish can be taken away from us at any moment

But you must face the ocean once again
Regardless of the challenges and dangers that come with the ocean, we must confront them again and again

Follow the tides, wherever you've been
We must go with the flow of life, following the path that has been laid out for us

Oh waves, there are waves
The endless ebb and flow of waves will always exist in our lives, bringing us both beauty and danger
