Tidal Wave
Hairu Tokyo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're feeling broken just like we've always been
I try my best but it don't help with it
I'd wipe you tears but they just come back again
Oh where the fuck do we begin
I try every day to make things right and it don't help
No it don't help
I pop pills in the hopes to sleep
But it's just the same goddamn repeat of yesterday
Seems like we always fight over useless shit
Push come to shove you never wanted this
I hate the way that we have been
So pull out the knife and say this with a grin
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
Drink after drink then we order so more
I blacked out foaming mouth on the bathroom floor
I screamed out at the light but there is no response
I don't think that it understands
What life is like here down on earth
God don't know what it's like to hurt
I could put all of time into her
But in the end I still sing in chains
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
You said you didn't mean to hurt me
But you did it anyways
I'd run away from everybody just to go back to those days
I don't really wanna try again
Now she tryna bring it back around me just to lie again
Is it really worth it though I'm waiting
She told me we gonna make it
So I looked at her and then I said
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days
I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave
I'll follow you into the grave
Cause we both have wished for better days




I'm sorry for the way I am
Didn't mean to crash down like tidal wave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hairu Tokyo's song "tidal wave" depict a sense of brokenness and despair within a relationship.
