Waves
Mr Probz [Robin Schulz Remix] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My face above the water
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
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream

Pulling against the stream (drifting away)

wave after wave
wave after wave
i'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
My face above the water

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
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Waves" by Mr Probz [Robin Schulz Remix] talks about the feeling of being lost without someone who used to be there. The opening lines represent the struggle of keeping oneself afloat while feeling disconnected from the surroundings. The singer feels like they are slowly drifting away, and their feet can no longer touch the ground. In other words, they feel lost and unanchored. The mention of seeing the horizon every time they are alone suggests that the person has been in this situation for a while now, and it is becoming familiar.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea of drifting away, and each wave that comes in takes the singer further away. The repetition of the phrase "pulling against the stream" could be interpreted as trying to resist going further away from that person or feeling lost. In the second verse, the singer wishes that it was easy for someone to love them, and even though they are searching for the right words to express themselves, they are still struggling to find them. The song ends with the singer feeling like they are slowly drifting away, and it feels like they are drowning.


Line by Line Meaning

My face above the water
I am barely keeping my head above water


My feet can't touch the ground
I am in deep water, unable to feel my footing


Touch the ground, and it feels like
When I am able to touch the bottom, it is a reminder of how far away safety is


I can see the sands on the horizon everytime (everytime)
I can see the hope of safety in the distance, but it is always just out of reach


You are not around
The one who could save me is not with me


I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
I am being pulled further and further away from safety


Wave after wave
Each new wave is a reminder of how little control I have


And it feels like I'm drowning
I am struggling to keep my head above water


Pulling against the stream
I am fighting against the current, trying to swim to safety


I wish I could make it easy
I wish it were easier to find safety and love


Easy to love me
I wish I were more lovable and easier to be loved


But still I reach, to find a way
Despite the difficulties, I continue to search for a solution


I'm stuck here in between
I am trapped in this dangerous situation, unable to escape


I'm looking for the right words to say (to say)
I am struggling to find a way to express my situation and my need for help

My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground,
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Everytime you are not around

[Chorus:]
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 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

[Chorus:]
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
