The Waves Have Come
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
The pain forms a circle with a light at the center
I can see it from here the end is coming
And all the wait, it was for nothing
I covered you in royal jelly
I made you queen and you forgave me
We'll be given the world in the right time
But we made our own and left it empty
This will be ours
'cause we're the concept
And we're the flawed
You said to me it won't be long now
You'll leave the world and you will join me here
My flesh is afraid but I am not
Cause love now is only the pain of needing
They took your smell, they took your shadow
And i'm searching through faces for someone familiar
I clawed and I clawed but I couldn't find you there
You wouldn't wake I couldn't sleep for years
This will be ours
'cause we're the the concept
And we're the flawed
And we're the answer
And we're the stars
It won't be long now
It will be ours
It will be ours
Creation was the only word that made you feel
You never were an endless hope
Is all it was and holding sacred all were and don't forsake the way we were
And don't tell me you never would
And we don't need physical things to make us feel
And make us dream when earth cracks open
And swallows then we'll never be tired again
And we'll be given everything the moment we realize we're not in control
And all you know gets older when the sun goes down
And everything begins to fade away the waves have come
And taken you to sea never to return to me

Chelsea Joy Wolfe was born in Roseville, California, and grew up in Sacramento. She is of Norwegian and German descent. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio. By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, she had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs."
Inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things, she creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs. With influences ranging from the great minds of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch to Soviet and end-times literature, her songs conjure visions of other dimensions, claustrophobic echo-rooms and parking garage cathedrals.
Wolfe has recorded seven full length studio albums: The Grime and the Glow, which was released on December 28th, 2010 on limited vinyl through Brooklyn’s Pendu Sound Recordings; Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was released as a 12” LP on August 23rd, 2011; Unknown Rooms: a Collection of Acoustic Songs, which was released on October, 2012 through Sargent House; Pain Is Beauty, out September 3rd, 2013; Abyss, which was released August 7th, 2015; and Hiss Spun, out September 22nd, 2017; Birth of Violence[7i] which was released on September 13th, 2019.

The pain forms a circle
with a light at the center
I can see it from here the end is coming
and all the wait, it was for nothing
I covered you in royal jelly
I made you queen and you forgave me
we'll be given the world in the right time
but we made our own and left it empty
This will be ours
'cause we're the concept
and we're the flawed
and we're the answer
You said to me it won't be long now
you'll leave the world and you will join me here
my flesh is afraid but I am not
cause love now is only the pain of needing
They took your smell, they took your shadow
and I'm searching through faces for someone familiar
I clawed and I clawed but I couldn't find you there
you wouldn't wake I couldn't sleep for years
This will be ours
'cause we're the the concept
and we're the flawed
and we're the answer
and we're the stars
it won't be long now
it will be ours
it will be ours
Creation was the only word
that made you feel you never were
an endless hope is all it was
and holding sacred all were
and don't forsake the way we were
and don't tell me you never would
and we don't need physical things
to make us feel and make us dream
when earth cracks open and swallows then
we'll never be tired again
and we'll be given everything
the moment we realize we're not in control
and all you know gets older when
the sun goes down and everything
begins to fade away the waves
have come and taken you to sea
Never to return to me

Being a metalhead for ages with some non-metal-days here and there... But THIS hits hard. There's not much music out there that moves me like C.W. Absolutely stunning, outstanding, supreme and what not... Glad I discovered her.
Justin Kroboth
Hard agree, friend - Chelsea Wolfe transcends genres. She's a goddamn queen.
Mari Nakesawa
I love metal too. I think CW and metal share some elements of the macabre.

This song is absolutely haunting. Pain, beauty, love, loss... I feel each of them every time I hear it.

They took your smell, they took your shadow
and I'm searching through faces for someone familiar
I clawed and I clawed but I couldn't find you there
you wouldn't wake I couldn't sleep for years
And that, my friends, is why pain is beauty.

Listen up and listen well fellow brothers and sisters with broken hearts and mangled spirits. Her voice is that of our promise. The promise that we will one day know happyness and that there is beauty in the pain we suffered. And that there is a point to future strife. Embrace it. Don't fear it. Relish it. For Pain is the ultimate teacher. The ultimate character builder. Pain is Beauty

This is one of the most beautiful and hauntingly sad songs that I have heard.
The TV show The 100 really has a fantastic song selection team.

At around 3am a few years ago I heard this playing from my niece's room and I had to go find out who this was and ever since then I love Chelsea!! Saw her in concert once and she was amazing. Love love love her. 💜💜💜
