Waves
Gosh Pith Lyrics

Waves will bring you down
The unpredictable, uncontrollable forces of life can cause you to feel defeated and overwhelmed.

Backwards to the ground
Even though you try to fight it, these forces can sweep you off your feet, causing you to fall backwards.

And waves will guide you home,
These same forces can also lead you towards a sense of safety and familiarity, a place you can call home.

When you feel you're far too grown
Even when you think you've grown too much to be affected by these forces, they can still knock you down.

You know when it's head over heels
When these forces hit you hard, you feel completely flipped around and disorientated.

And it hits, these kids always steal my thunder
Despite the presence of these uncontrollable forces, there are still people and situations that can steal your spotlight and leave you feeling even more powerless.

Waves, they gon' break it down,
These forces have the power to break down whatever is in their path and leave you feeling destroyed.

When you're lost, you can't be found
When these forces have left you feeling lost and disoriented, it can be hard to find your way back to a sense of stability and familiarity.

But it's been getting harder to move on with other things
Despite wanting to move on and focus on other areas of life, the power of these forces can make it difficult to do so.

And I don't give a damn what anybody really thinks
In the face of these forces, the opinions of others become less important because the struggle to keep moving forward takes all priority.

Yeah, I spend my allowance on all these pretty things
Consuming material possessions can often serve as temporary relief to distract from the larger struggle at hand.

It's been getting harder, it's just so much harder
Despite any attempts to cope or move forward, the power of these forces only seems to grow stronger.

To let it go, let go
The weight of the situation can feel like a burden that's impossible to release and let go of.

Don't you know?!
The struggle of these forces can feel all-consuming and isolating, making it difficult to understand or relate to others who haven't experienced it.

(Nobody does) All these conversations…
Talking to others about the struggle can feel futile because it's hard to articulate the full scope of what's happening.

(No no no no no no)
Reiterating the impossibility of finding relief or solutions to the weight of these forces.

(Wanna let it go!)
Despite everything, there's still a desire to be released from the weight of these forces and find a sense of freedom.
