Waves
D.L.I.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m on another wave
She passes me and doesn’t even say hey
I’m on another wave
On another wave length
She knows my mind is gone
Cause I’m on another wave
We could never communicate
Always with my other loves
Lucy and I, we hallucinate, dusk till dawn
Marry and I get baked
Molly and I never hesitated
When with them I was always great
But my true love, she knew my mind was gone
On another wave
With every day that I get baked
It’s getting harder to communicate
In the end it’s just my fate to be in the wrong
It’s just my fate
I guess it’s just my fate
It’s just my fate
To be on another wave
On another wave
On another wave
On my own wave length
I’m on another wave
She passes me and doesn’t even say hey
I’m on another wave
On another wave length
I guess she just needs space
Wouldn’t even look me in the face
When she kick me out of her place
After lying about everything she still wants to see my face
Huh
Now I’m on another wave
When I pass her I don’t even say hey




Cause I’m on another wave
Yuh, on another wave length

Overall Meaning

"D.L.I.D." stands for "Day Late, I'm Different," and the band hails from London. The lyrics to their song "Waves" speak about feeling disconnected from someone, even though they are right next to you. The singer talks about being on a different wavelength and describes his drug use with other women, which has caused the relationship to become disjointed. The song speaks of a deep disconnect, where one person is not able to reach the other because they are on a separate wavelength.


The lyrics to "Waves" are expertly crafted and convey a sense of longing and regret. The use of drug-related imagery gives the impression that the singer has lost touch with reality, and by extension, the person he cares for. The repeated refrain of "I'm on another wave" emphasizes the theme of being unreachable, and the singer seems resigned to the fact that this is his fate.


Interestingly, the use of drug references in "Waves" has been interpreted by some to be a commentary on the relationship between the artist and their audience. While drugs have always been associated with music, some feel that the lyrics to "Waves" are a critique of the party lifestyle that many young people engage in. The song speaks to those who feel unconnected and alone, and suggests that drugs are not the answer.
