Wish You Were Here
Incubus污 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy happy)
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy happy)
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here
The worlds a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying)
I wish you were here
I wish you were.
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here.
The lyrics to Incubus' "Wish You Were Here" are a deep expression of longing and nostalgia for someone who has perhaps passed away or is no longer present in the singer's life. The imagery of the ocean and sand creates a vivid contrast between the beauty of nature and the loneliness of the singer's thoughts. The repetition of "I wish you were here" underscores the intensity of the singer's longing for companionship.
The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer describes the breathtaking beauty of the ocean and the sand. It's not just a physical description, though; he's using this imagery to express his sense of awe and wonder at the world around him. He's trying to find solace in nature, in the hope that it will take away the pain of his longing for the person he's hoping to find.
The middle section of the song, where the singer talks about counting UFOs and signaling them with his lighter, is a surreal moment where the singer loses himself in his own thoughts. He's trying to escape his own thoughts, to find a way out of his own head. But no matter where he goes or what he does, he can't shake the feeling that something is missing.
Ultimately, the song is a powerful expression of the singer's sense of loss and longing. It's a reminder that even in our moments of joy and happiness, there can still be an underlying sense of sadness that we can't escape.

I dig my toes into the sand
I feel connected to the Earth and grounded
The Ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
The water's surface is sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight
Strewn across a blue blanket
The water appears to flow endlessly and is the same blue color as the sky
I lean against the wind
I feel the wind on my skin and I am allowing it to support me
Pretend that I am weightless
I feel like I am floating and carefree
And in this moment I am happy happy)
I am fully present in this moment and content with my surroundings
I wish you were here
I long for someone's company and wish they were here to share this experience with me
I lay my head onto the sand
I am comfortable and relaxed, surrendering to the moment
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
The clouds are illuminated by the setting sun and look like a colorful canopy
With holes punched in it
There are breaks in the clouds allowing glimpses of the blue sky beyond
I'm counting UFOs
I am playfully imagining and looking for signs of extraterrestrial life
I signal them with my lighter
I am using my lighter as a signal to the imaginary UFOs I am seeing
And in this moment I am happy happy)
I am again experiencing the present moment with joy and contentment
The world's a roller coaster
The world is full of ups and downs, like a roller coaster ride
And I am not strapped in
I am living in the moment instead of worrying about control and safety
Maybe I should hold with care
Perhaps I should be more mindful and cautious of my actions and surroundings
But my hands are busy in the air saying)
Although I may be carefree, I am still enjoying the moment with enthusiasm
I wish you were here
I still long for someone's company and wish they were present with me
I wish you were.
I truly wish this person was here to share this special moment with me
Wish you were here
I am still wishing and hoping for this person's presence
