wave
DFM 2014 _ Mr. Probz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon everytime (everytime)
You are not around

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me
Love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say (to say)

I'm slowly drifting, drifting away
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning




Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

Overall Meaning

Mr. Probz's song "Waves" talks about the feeling of being alone and trying to keep your head above water while feeling like you are drowning. The opening lines, "My face above the water, my feet can't touch the ground," paint the picture of someone who is trying to stay afloat. The phrase "touch the ground and it feels like I can see the sands on the horizon" shows the distance between the singer and the person they long for. This person's absence from their life is causing them to drift away, wave after wave.


The chorus of "Waves" repeats the same lines, "I'm slowly drifting, drifting away, wave after wave," emphasizing the feeling of being pulled away from the shore, unable to control where you're going. The line "Pulling against the stream" shows the struggle to keep yourself from being taken under. The singer wishes they could make things easier to be loved but feels stuck in between and unable to find the right words to say. All of these emotions are conveyed through the somber melody and Mr. Probz's powerful yet vulnerable vocal delivery.
