Waves
Nick Merico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My feet can't touch the ground
And it feels like
I can see the sand on the horizon
Everytime you are not around
I'm slowy drifting
The lyrics to Nick Merico's song Waves depict the feeling of being lost or floating without any anchor in one's life. The metaphorical use of water and sand captures the essence of feeling adrift without any sense of direction. The opening line "My face above the water" showcases an individual trying to keep their head above the water while struggling to keep their balance. Continuing with "my feet can't touch the ground," it showcases the distance from the bottom, portraying the vulnerability and isolation one feels. The line "And it feels like I can see the sand on the horizon" shows the hopelessness and sense of being lost without a clear path for the future. The lyrics immerse the listener in the imagery of the vast sea of uncertainity in their life.
The chorus of the song "Everytime you are not around, I'm slowly drifting," showcases the impact that someone's presence can have in the individual's life, bringing them back to the surface and having their feet firmly placed on the ground. The lyrics are relatable to millennial anxiety and feelings of aimlessness and lostness in a rapidly changing, confusing society.

My face above the water
I am struggling to stay afloat and breathe in the overwhelming situation.
My feet can't touch the ground
I feel lost and disoriented, like I have no solid ground to stand on.
And it feels like
This is how my world has been, and I can't seem to break free from it, it's suffocating me.
I can see the sand on the horizon
I see hope and possibility in the distance, but it seems too far to reach.
Everytime you are not around
Your absence makes me feel alone and helpless.
I'm slowy drifting
Despite my efforts, I feel like I'm moving further away from where I want to be.

You did an amazing job. I also just love how you were able to harmonize, and be able to match the pitch with the beat to make a nice and soothe feeling. Tbh, I never really liked "Waves". But when you did a cover/remix, I'm always finding myself humming this. And for some reason, I feel thankful. So thanks? Keep singing with all your heart<3
