Wish You Were Here
Buddha Bar ft. Bliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like waves to the shore
Part of the ocean
The stars high above
Part of the sky

Now I drift to you
I dream of a river
A water so blue
Wish I could live there

Wish you were here

Like the air that I breathe
You'll always be there
The wings that I need
When I wanna fly

Now I drift to you
I dream of a river
A water so blue
Wish I could live there





Wish you were here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song, Wish You Were Here by Buddha Bar ft. Bliss, have a profound meaning. The opening lines, "Like waves to the shore, part of the ocean, the stars high above, part of the sky," suggest that everything in life is interconnected, and we are all part of the larger universe. The waves of the shore are a part of the vast ocean, just like we are a part of something larger than ourselves.


The lines, "Now I drift to you, I dream of a river, a water so blue, wish I could live there," signify the search for inner peace and tranquility. The river symbolizes a calm and peaceful state of mind that the singer longs for. The desire to live there suggests that the singer wants to escape from the chaos and turmoil of everyday life and find solace in a serene environment.


The chorus, "Wish you were here, like the air that I breathe, you'll always be there, the wings that I need when I want to fly," is a direct message to someone who is not present. The singer wishes that the person was there with them, just like the air they breathe, always there to provide a sense of comfort and support. The person is also like the wings that the singer needs to fly, suggesting that they are the source of inspiration and motivation.

Excelente qualidade e música/MANTRAS de grande profundidade e espíritualidade!São sons elevados que nos fazem refletir sobre a vida e nos levam à transcendência tão importante para cada um de nós neste Universo Infinito e neste planeta Terra 🌎 que precisa de muito mais Amor e Harmonia com Paz e Luz com respeito entre cada ser,cada religião,cada gênero e condições sociais sejam elas mais favorecidas financeiramente ou em menor proporção de renda pois somos todos iguais e eternos aprendizes e a igualdade entre as pessoas é de suma importância para o equilíbrio energético do Universo como um todo!
