Wave
Lydia Gray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So close your eyes
For that's a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together

You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together

When I saw you first the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know the wave is on it's way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together

When I saw you first the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know the wave is on it's way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me




The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together

Overall Meaning

In Lydia Gray's song "Wave," the lyrics convey a message of accepting love and the power it has to overcome the feeling of loneliness. The first stanza "So close your eyes, For that's a lovely way to be" suggests that love is not tangible but exists in our hearts and minds. The line "Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see" implies that true love is meant to be felt and not seen. The fundamental loneliness that one feels can be overcome by finding a partner who shares the same dreams as you. The line "Whenever two can dream a dream together" reinforces this message of how important it is to find someone to share your life with.


The second stanza of the song "You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea, Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me" suggests that love is unstoppable just like the tide of the sea or the position of the moon and stars in the sky. The message is to let go of any doubts or fears towards love and to embrace it fully. The reiteration of the line "Whenever two can dream a dream together" serves as a reminder that the feeling of loneliness can be eliminated when two people share their dreams and love each other.


The last stanza "When I saw you first the time was half past three, When your eyes met mine it was eternity" signifies that love is timeless and can happen at any moment in life. The line "By now we know the wave is on its way to be, just catch that wave, don't be afraid of loving me" serves as an invitation for the other person to embrace love and not be scared of it. Once again, the message that the feeling of loneliness can be overcome when two people have the same dreams and love each other is emphasized.


Overall, "Wave" is a beautifully written song that encapsulates the message of how love can overcome the feeling of loneliness and bring people together.
