Waves
Mr. Probz/Chris Brown/T.I./Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Mind got me staying in the eye of the fire
Sometimes I don't know if I'ma drown or fly
Heart so big I be down to die
For all the ones I love, too bad they don't think I really love 'em
They don't understand that there just so many of 'em
Hustle's got so many of em, everybody pulling at me
Can't leave the house without everybody lookin' at me
That my wife was at my wake, with my son, he said "look at daddy"
Something got me thinking this might be the end
But if it is you gon' wish for a G when I'm gone
Drifting away
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the wave
Drifting away
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
My face above the water
And my feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Every time you are not around
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the wave
This might be the end
But if it is you gon' wish for a G when I'm gone
Drifting away (Drifting, drifting away)
I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the
In "Waves," Mr. Probz, T.I., and Chris Brown explore the struggles of fame, specifically the feelings of anxiety and pressure that come with it. Mr. Probz expresses his paranoia and anxiety, feeling like he is constantly under scrutiny and struggling to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his loved ones. The chorus uses the metaphor of waves to describe the feeling of being pulled in different directions and the sensation of drowning in the pressure. The line "This might be the end, but if it is, you gon' wish for a G when I'm gone" speaks to a desire for recognition and respect even after death.
The verses delve further into the themes of the chorus, as Mr. Probz talks about feeling misunderstood by those close to him and having too many people pulling at him. He also describes a haunting dream where he sees his wife and son mourning him at his own funeral, adding to his existential crisis. Meanwhile, T.I.'s featured verse offers a more aggressive take, emphasizing his own success in the face of haters and doubters.
