Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You live in my dreams
I've been drinking, no celebration
All I do is think of you, ooh-ooh (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh no, here I go, swear I'm never gon' change
Solo, solo, sinkin' deep in my brain
Ooh, ooh, need you
The shit that gets me high (get me, get me, get me, high)
I'm drinking all my wine, I pretend I'm fine
Like a tidal wave
The shit that gets me by
The shit that gets me high
It's never quite what it seems
And all I do is think of you, ooh-ooh
You're made for me
You're killing me, ee-ee
It's quiet, I hear a clap
I can tell you're searching for a right fix
I've been waiting
Feeling myself fading
All I do is think of you (you, you)
Save me
Makeup, tits out
How you've been in all days
Bad bitch, your hoe average
She won't do what I did
Ooh, ooh, need you
The shit that gets me by
The shit that gets me high
I'm drinking all my wine, I pretend I'm fine
Like a tidal wave
The shit that gets me by
The shit that gets me high
It's never quite what it seems (seems)
All I do is think of you, ooh-ooh
You're made for me (you're)
You're killing me, ee-ee (you're)
You're, oh, ooh-woah, oh, oh
You're made for me
You're killing me
You're, you're, you're, you're
All I do is think of you
You're made for me
You're killing me
The song “Tidal Wave” by NJOMZA and Ari Lennox talks about the struggles of getting over a past relationship. The lyrics revolve around the idea that getting over someone is like trying to stay afloat in a tidal wave, where the feelings are so strong that they crush everything in their path. The opening lines of the song speak about how difficult it has been for the singer to sleep lately because the person they are trying to forget keeps appearing in their dreams. The lines “I've been drinking, no celebration, all I do is think of you” show that the person is trying to cope with their feelings, but they can't get the other person out of their mind.
The chorus goes on to talk about the things that the person is doing to try and distract themselves from their thoughts. They are trying to find something that will get them high and help them forget, but nothing seems to work. The lines “The shit that gets me by, the shit that gets me high, it's never quite what it seems” talk about how the person is doing everything they can to distract themselves, but nothing seems to work. They are stuck in their own head, and all they can think about is the person they are trying to forget.
The bridge of the song talks about the person's desperation to move on. The lines “Save me, makeup, tits out, how you've been in all day, bad bitch, your hoe average, she won't do what I did” suggest that the person is trying everything to get over their ex, including trying to look good and go out to meet new people. However, no matter what they do, they can't stop thinking about their ex.
