Waves
Bora York Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We must've missed our stop, we're miles away
The sky's colorblind, we lost track of our days
Through all these years, you've still got my ears
So far away and yet so near

These colors, these patters
Have left us battered
But these waves, they carry on
These timeless heartbeats
Won't fade away
'Cause these waves they carry on and on and on

Without a pallette's eyes, without a blinding stage
It's a foggy view, and it's held hostage
Laid on a dream, never step on me




But all eternity knew that's what we need
Oh, we all knew that's what we needed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bora York's Waves can be interpreted in different ways, but the dominant theme seems to be the endurance of love and how waves represent it. The opening lines "We must've missed our stop, we're miles away, the sky's colorblind, we lost track of our days" can be seen as a metaphor for life's journey, and how sometimes, regardless of our plans, we end up in unexpected places. However, despite the unpredictable nature of life, the two people in the song have still got each other, and their love has not faded away but has remained steady and unchanging.


The chorus "These colors, these patters have left us battered, but these waves, they carry on" suggests that life has thrown all sorts of curveballs and challenges their way, but their love has stood the test of time. The use of waves as a metaphor for love is a beautiful image because waves are enduring, powerful, and unstoppable forces of nature that never fade away. This is why the last line of the chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that their love will keep on going and going.


The second stanza "Without a palette's eyes, without a blinding stage, it's a foggy view, and it's held hostage" continues with the same theme of life's unpredictability, but this time, the singer talks about how everything seems unclear and hazy. However, they refuse to let life get the best of them because they know that their love is all they need to keep going. The final line "But all eternity knew that's what we need, oh, we all knew that's what we needed" indicates that their love is not just a fleeting emotion but an eternal force that they both recognized from the beginning.
