Wave
Peppi Kamadhatu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
Cause this love is everlasting
Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up suddenly you're in love
Girl you're everthing a man could want and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for
Each day I pray this love affair would last forever




There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
You wake and suddenly you're in love

The opening lines express a sense of disillusionment with love: “I used to think that love was just a fairy tale”. However, this changes with the arrival of a new love interest, symbolized by “that first hello until that first smile”. Despite any possible challenges the singer may have faced in this relationship, they express that they wouldn’t “change a thing” as their love is “everlasting”. The love transforms the singer’s life and “suddenly life has new meaning to me”. The beauty in the world that had gone unnoticed before is now appreciated, and the singer is overwhelmed with the newfound feeling of love.
