Tidal Wave
Kevin Quinn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well everything is here now.
You never know what the day will bring
Just be ready when it comes around.
Life's a beach, tropic island getaway.
I came alive ever since the day.
Hit me like a freight train,
Body like a summer day.
Got a real mean undertow
Holds me down, won't let me go.
Love has got me swept away
On a ti-ti-tidal wave, a ti-ti-tidal wave
It's like a ti-ti-tidal wave, a ti-ti-tidal wave.
Made a better man out of me,
'Cause in you I see the positives.
(In you I see the positives)
You found the me that I fail to see,
Now I got so much more to give!
(Now I got so much more to give)
Life's a beach, tropic island getaway.
I came alive ever since the day (ever since the day).
Hit me like a freight train,
Ooh I did a double take,
Body like a summer day.
Got a real mean undertow
Holds me down, won't let me go.
Love has got me swept away
On a ti-ti-tidal wave, a ti-ti-tidal wave
It's like a ti-ti-tidal wave, a ti-ti-tidal wave.
Ooh I'm living now
I'm loving now
On a tidal wave
Hit me like a freight train,
Ooh I did a double take,
Body like a summer day.
Got a real mean undertow
Holds me down, won't let me go.
Love has got me swept away
Hit me like a freight train,
Ooh I did a double take,
Body like a summer day.
Got a real mean undertow
Holds me down, won't let me go.
Love has got me swept away
On a ti-ti-tidal wave, a ti-ti-tidal wave
It's like a ti-ti-tidal wave, a ti-ti-tidal wave.
In this song, Kevin Quinn sings about the power of love, and how it's like a tidal wave that can sweep you off your feet. The lyrics suggest that timing is everything, and you never know what the day will bring, but if you're open and ready for love, it can hit you like a freight train and change your life forever. The song talks about how love has made the singer a better man, and he's able to see the positives in himself that he couldn't see before.
The analogy of a tropical island getaway and a tidal wave make the song a fun summer anthem. The singer describes feeling alive ever since he met his love, his body feels like a summer's day, but love also has a real mean undertow that can hold you down and won't let you go. Despite that, he's still swept away and loves being carried by the tidal wave. The repetition of "ti-ti-tidal wave" is catchy and adds to the playfulness of the song. Overall, "Tidal Wave" is an upbeat and optimistic song about the joy and wonder of falling in love.
