Ripples
Maximillian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many ways to say goodbye
Too many god forsaken lies
Still I'm stuck here thinking why you'd give me this
Heartbreak, I'll never mention again
But love, listen

I hope you think about me when you're kissing him
And that he takes you to the places we've already been
I hope the ripples in the water
Will make it all a little harder

And in the middle of the night when you close your eyes
I hope you're out of Lucky Strikes, I hope you realize
That the ripples in the water
Will make it all a little harder

How many hours must I wait?
How much more trust have I left to give?
'Cause you really got me where it hurts the most
The only thing left is to forgive
But love, listen

I hope you think about me when you're kissing him
And that he takes you to the places we've already been
I hope the ripples in the water
Will make it all a little harder

And in the middle of the night when you close your eyes
I hope you're out of Lucky Strikes, I hope you realize
That the ripples in the water
Will make it all a little harder

You said round ripples from a previous lover
Round ripples from the one to another
Count skipping heartbeats, I wouldn't bother
'Cause, If he loves you then he can have ya

Round ripples from a previous lover
Round ripples from the one to another
Count skipping heartbeats, I wouldn't bother
'Cause, If he loves you, then he can have ya

I hope you think about me when you're kissing him
And that he takes you to places we've already been
I hope the ripples in the water
Will make it all a little harder

And in the middle of the night when you close your eyes
I hope you're out of Lucky Strikes, I hope you realize




That the ripples in the water
Will make it all a little harder

Overall Meaning

"Ripples" by Maximillian is a song exploring the pain and heartbreak that come with a difficult breakup. The song starts with the singer acknowledging how challenging it is to say goodbye, especially after being subject to lies and deceit. The singer then expresses that they hope their ex-partner will remember them when they are with someone else, and that the memories and experiences they shared will make it hard for them to move on. The chorus repeats the theme of "ripples in the water," implying that the singer hopes the pain of the breakup will follow their ex wherever they go.


The second verse feels more desperate as the singer pleads to know how much longer they need to wait to move on from their love. They express that their trust has been broken and they have been deeply hurt. However, they still hope that their ex-partner thinks of them and realizes the significance of the relationship they once had. The bridge of the song talks about "round ripples," which might refer to the idea that every relationship has an impact, similar to how a stone thrown into water creates ripples. The singer then concludes that if their ex-lover truly loves someone else, then they can have them.


Overall, the song depicts the singer dealing with heartbreak and trying to let go of their feelings for their ex-partner. The constant refrain of "ripples in the water" conveys the idea that the impact of a love relationship can linger on long after it's over.
