Overall Meaning

invokes emotion in me
Makes me think about things in a way that I can't express
And I'm not sure what it is, but it's something that I can feel
It's like the waves are a physical manifestation of some sort of energy
And I just can't help but be drawn to it
The simplicity of it all, yet the complexity it embodies

Line by Line Meaning

And the waves just hang
The waves remain still, stationary and unmoving


Rushing again and just splashing on the rocks
The forceful waves rush towards the shore and break against the rocks with a loud splashing sound


Sort of, sort of a spacial experience that makes you feel insignificant
This powerful, spatial experience offered by the waves can make one feel small, insignificant and insignificant in comparison to the vastness of nature

This is why we won’t delay for your birthday
The secrets that we held that day will be kept straight
All your friends have gone away, so let's celebrate
You're holding hope open for the one making you wait

Lights and Music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time

Lights and Music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time

Fading with the color you see in my face
Cold and crystal you can't hide as your tears race
I'll be waiting by in time; put your dreams away
You're holding hope open for the one making you wait

Lights and Music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time

Lights and Music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time
