Jordan Joseph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like a time bomb tickin' away
cnd now I'm tryna hide my love
Before it blows up in my face
Ever since you waved to me
I crashed into your vacant sea
I got room come stay with me
Spend time change the way you think
I can't sleep you're in my dreams
Naked on a rainy beach
Pulsing while I eat that peach
The sky it fades to tangerine
Screaming these are stranger things
Swimmin' in your eyes I see
No one's there to rescue me
Pier into the depths I leap
Wasn't tryna get this deep
It calls to me like treasure peace
Heart of the Ocean let it sync
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Closer
I could swim
I could swim
I could swim
Oceans
Time is tick
Time is tick
Time is tick
Explosion
Wave of a
Wave of a
Wave of
Emotions
You hit me like a Tidal Wave
You're like a time bomb tickin' away
cnd now I'm tryna hide My Love
Before it blows up in my face
Ti ti ti
Ti ti ti ti
Ti ti ti
Ti ti ti ti
Ti ti ti
Ti ti ti ti
Ti ti ti
Ti ti ti ti
Panicking I'm nervous
Reeled feelings to the surface
Surrounded by these urchins
Feel the pressure to emerge n'
See I can't surrender
To the urges
Touching them will only hurt me
But man they look so pretty
Feels like they're trapping me
On purpose
I sea the crown
It whispers I am yours
I swim right down
Short of breath
I must explore
It looks so bomb
I put it on
It weighs me down
cnd I might drown
But I want more
Oh Magic Mermaid
Grab my hand
Give me a tour
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Closer
I could swim
I could swim
I could swim
Oceans
Time is tick
Time is tick
Time is tick
Explosion

The lyrics of Jordan Joseph's song "Tidal Wave" describe the overwhelming and intense experience of falling in love. The first verse begins with the line "You hit me like a Tidal Wave," which symbolizes the sudden and powerful impact of the person he is falling for. The comparison to a time bomb ticking away suggests that there is a sense of urgency and tension in this relationship. The singer is trying to conceal his love because he fears it might explode and cause problems in his life.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions and experiences with this person. They describe crashing into the other person's "vacant sea," implying that they were drawn toward the person's emotional emptiness and sought to fill it with their own love. The singer mentions spending time together and wanting to change the way the other person thinks, indicating a desire to deeply connect and affect their perspective. The imagery of being naked on a rainy beach and pulsing while eating a peach suggests a sensual and intimate encounter. However, despite the intensity of their connection, the singer feels trapped and unable to escape, as if they have lost control and there is no one to save them.
The chorus emphasizes the powerful attraction the singer feels towards the other person. They want to be pulled in closer and are willing to swim through the emotions and waves that come with it. The repetition of the phrase "Pull me in, I could swim oceans" reflects their willingness to dive deep into their relationship, despite the risk of getting hurt. The ticking of time and the impending explosion represent the pressure and uncertainty of their emotions, teetering on the edge of overwhelming them.
The final verse portrays the singer's inner struggle. They feel panicky and nervous, recognizing the vulnerability that comes with surrendering to their desires. They are surrounded by temptations ("urchins") that they know will hurt them, yet they find them irresistibly alluring. The temptation is symbolized by the "crown" whispering that they belong to each other, and the singer cannot resist exploring this dangerous yet captivating relationship. The mention of the "Magic Mermaid" signifies a mystical and enchanting force that pulls them further into this emotional rollercoaster.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tidal Wave" express the intense and chaotic journey of falling in love. They convey the thrill and danger of being overwhelmed by emotions that challenge the singer's ability to control their desires. The song explores the conflict between the singer's desire to hide their love and the irresistible pull to dive deeper into the turbulent sea of emotions.
