Waves
Mr Probz/Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon everytime (everytime)
You are not around
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream
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 (to say)
I'm slowly drifting, 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 stream
The lyrics to Mr Probz's song Waves describe the feeling of being adrift and struggling to stay afloat in a relationship while feeling distant from the other person. The opening lines suggest a struggle to keep above water, both physically and emotionally, with the sand on the horizon symbolizing the separation between the two people. The repeated reference to drifting away on waves captures the feeling of gradually losing touch with someone, despite efforts to stay connected.
The chorus repeats the theme of drifting away, with the singer feeling like they are drowning and unable to resist the current. The final verse suggests a desire for the other person to find it easy to love them, but an inability to find the right words or bridge the gap between them. The overall effect is a poignant portrayal of the difficulties inherent in relationships, and the sense of helplessness that can arise when things start to fall apart.

My face above the water
I am barely keeping my head above water
My feet can't touch the ground
I feel like I have lost my footing in life
Touch the ground, and it feels like
When I touch the ground it reminds me
I can see the sands on the horizon everytime (everytime)
I can see the future ahead of me
You are not around
But you are not here to share it with me
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
I am slowly losing my sense of direction

Pulling against the stream
I am fighting against the current
I wish I could make it easy

Easy to love me
Easier for people to understand and accept me

I am struggling to express myself and my emotions
