wave
David Sylvian Robert Fripp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed a thousand dreams.
We'd face the days together,
No matter what they'd bring.
A strength inside like I'd never known,
Opened the door to life and let it go.
This sun may shine forever,
Upon the back of love.
And held within your arms.
And should the rain break through the trees,
We'll find a shelter there and never leave.
I'll run to you, nothing stands between us now.
Nothing I can lose.
This light inside can never die.
Another world just made for two.
I'll swim the seas inside with you,
And like the waves, without a sound,
I'll never let you down.
Upon a wave of summer,
A hilltop paved with gold,
We shut our eyes and make
The promises we hold.
A will to guide and see us through,
I'd do it all again because of you.
I'll run to you, nothing stands between us now,
Nothing I can lose.
This light inside can never die.
Another world just made for two.
I'll swim the seas inside with you,
And like the waves, without a sound,
I'll never let you down.
I'd tear my very soul to make you mine.

The opening lines of the song set the tone for what follows. The singer remembers dreaming a thousand dreams, and facing the days with their loved one no matter what they bring. This speaks to the theme of unconditional love and commitment, of two people who have each other's backs no matter what. The strength of this love, the singer tells us, opened the door to life and let it go. This suggests that love is not only a source of comfort and support, but also a catalyst for growth and adventure.

Even in the midst of destruction and chaos, love has the capacity to create something beautiful and new.
Line by Line Meaning
It seems that I remember
My memory tells me that I recall
I dreamed a thousand dreams.
I had multiple dreams or aspirations
We'd face the days together,
We would confront our difficulties as a team
No matter what they'd bring.
Despite the obstacles that may arise
A strength inside like I'd never known,
There was a potent force within me that was new
Opened the door to life and let it go.
It allowed me to embrace life's opportunities
This sun may shine forever,
The possibility exists that the sun will always shine
Upon the back of love.
Riding with the power of love
A kingdom raised from ashes,
A new empire built from destruction
And held within your arms.
Cradled in your embrace
And should the rain break through the trees,
In case the rain penetrates the trees
We'll find a shelter there and never leave.
We will locate a place to shield ourselves and remain there
I'll run to you, nothing stands between us now.
I will come to you without any barriers
Nothing I can lose.
There is nothing that I could misplace
This light inside can never die.
The fire within me will never extinguish
Another world just made for two.
A new dimension created exclusively for us
I'll swim the seas inside with you,
Together we will delve into our psyches
And like the waves, without a sound,
Silent and gentle, like the ocean waves
I'll never let you down.
I will never disappoint you
Upon a wave of summer,
On a heat wave during the summer season
A hilltop paved with gold,
A hill that's rich with precious material
We shut our eyes and make
We close our eyes and formulate
The promises we hold.
The commitments we have in mind
A will to guide and see us through,
The determination to steer and aid us
I'd do it all again because of you.
I would repeat it all in the name of our relationship
I'd tear my very soul to make you mine.
I would do anything to make you mine
