Tidal Wave
GARRETT PAKNIS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We had it all
Passion that dripped from our skin like sin
Something so comforting
And your family took me in
Six thousand miles away from my own
I never felt, baby
I never felt more like home
Chased us off the beach
Shipwrecked our dreams
And I was crying out
Cause I couldn't see
The storm took you away from me
Sometimes you wash over me like a tidal wave
I can still feel the love that
Swept me away
And when we were younger
We really did have it all
We built our kingdom out of passion
And then cried as we watched it fall
But if you need a memory
Then take this heart beat
If you need a memory
Then take all of me
Cause you gave me something
Money can't buy
You gave me something
I'm stronger for the tears I cry
Sometimes you wash over me
Like a Tidal Wave
The lyrics of the song "Tidal Wave" by Garrett Paknis paint a story of a love that was once passionate and comforting, but is now lost like a shipwreck at sea. The opening lines of the song reminisce about a time when the relationship was strong and their shared passion dripped from their skin like sin. The singer feels like they have found a home with their lover's family, despite being six thousand miles away from their own family. However, like the summer breeze that drifted downstream, the relationship was not meant to last and it eventually fell apart. The storm became too strong and suddenly took away the singer's love.
Despite the love being lost, the singer still feels it and describes how it washes over them like a tidal wave. They can still feel the love that once swept them away and continue to hold onto that memory. The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing the power of the love they once shared. The song ends with the singer offering their heart and themselves to their lost love because they gave them something that money cannot buy and made them stronger through the tears they cried.
Overall, "Tidal Wave" captures the bittersweet power of a love lost, and the memories that continue to wash over us like a wave long after it is gone.

When we were younger
In the past, when we were young
We had it all
We possessed everything we needed
Passion that dripped from our skin like sin
We held a passion that was deep within us
Something so comforting
Our passion provided comfort
And your family took me in
Your family offered me a place to stay
Six thousand miles away from my own
I was far away from my own family, by about six thousand miles
I never felt, baby
I never had such a feeling, or I had never felt what I felt
I never felt more like home
I never felt more like being at home
But the summer breeze drifted downstream
But the summer breeze moved away
Chased us off the beach
The summer breeze forced us to leave the beach
Shipwrecked our dreams
Our dreams were ruined, as though they were a shipwreck
And I was crying out
I was crying and shouting
Cause I couldn't see
Because I was unable to see
The storm took you away from me
The storm separated us
Sometimes you wash over me like a tidal wave
Occasionally, you overpower me like a tidal wave
I can still feel the love that
I can still experience the love that
Swept me away
Swept me off my feet
And when we were younger
And as we were younger
We really did have it all
We indeed had everything
We built our kingdom out of passion
Our kingdom was made from our passion
And then cried as we watched it fall
And then we cried as we saw it crash
But if you need a memory
But in case you require a memory
Then take this heart beat
Then take my heartbeat
If you need a memory
If you require a memory
Then take all of me
Then take everything of me
Cause you gave me something
Because you offered me something
Money can't buy
That can't be purchased with money
You gave me something
You offered me something
I'm stronger for the tears I cry
I'm more resilient due to the tears I have cried
Sometimes you wash over me
Occasionally, you overpower me
Like a Tidal Wave
Like a sudden and powerful surge of emotions or feelings
