Waves
Overdriver Duo 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 you are not around

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

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 stream

Line by Line Meaning

My face above the water
Even though I may appear composed, it's only because I'm keeping my struggles and worries below the surface of my mind.


My feet can't touch the ground,
Despite putting in effort, I feel like I'm not making any progress and am stuck in a precarious situation without a solid foundation to stand on.


Touch the ground, and it feels like
If I were to finally reach stability, it would be like an entirely new reality where my struggles don't weigh me down.


I can see the sands on the horizon
I know that a better future is out there and it's just barely out of reach, but I can't quite grasp it.


Everytime you are not around
When the person who brings me comfort and stability isn't present, my anxieties and doubts become much stronger.


I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
Despite my best efforts to stay in control, I'm still moving farther away from my goals and becoming more and more uncertain with each passing moment.


Wave after wave, wave after wave
Every new obstacle that arises becomes a challenge that piles up on the difficulties I already face, making it even harder to stay afloat.


And it feels like I'm drowning
No matter how hard I try, I constantly feel like I'm on the verge of being overwhelmed by my struggles and losing control of my life.


Pulling against the stream
To make any progress, I have to work tirelessly and fight against the current of my circumstances, which makes every accomplishment even more difficult.


I wish I could make it easy
It's difficult to keep up the facade of being okay and trying to handle everything alone; all I want is for it to be less of a struggle and for people to understand my situation.


Easy to love me, love me
I crave affection and support and wish it could be more effortless to earn and maintain those relationships, especially amidst my constant turmoil.


But still I reach
Regardless of my struggles, I still strive to improve my situation and make progress, no matter how difficult it may be.


To find a way
I'm always searching for a solution, a way to make my struggles more manageable and find stability amidst the chaos.


I'm stuck here in between
Despite my efforts, I'm still in limbo, unable to fully commit to a path forward because of the constant interference of my hardships.


I'm looking for the right words to say
Communicating my problems and emotions can be difficult, but I'm in search of the right words to express myself and find the support that I need.
