Tidal Wave
Phillip Long Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maremoto

Ela veio tão doce como a chuva da manhã
Eu estava assustado por sua beleza
Mas agora ela transformou-se
Minha lua, minha amiga
Eu esqueço o seu nome em nome do amor

Eu estava sozinho, eu estava vazio
Mas agora eu estou acordando
Eu estava sozinho, eu estava petrificado
Mas agora eu estou acordando

Maré, maremoto
Ele veio para nos eliminar
Maré, maremoto
Ele veio para nos capturar

Eu estava sozinho, eu estava vazio
Mas agora eu estou acordando
Eu estava sozinho, eu estava petrificado
Mas agora eu estou acordando

Maré, maremoto
Ele veio para nos eliminar
Maré, maremoto
Ele veio para nos capturar

Maré, maremoto

Maré, maremoto
Maré, maremoto

Overall Meaning

In the song "Tidal Wave" by Phillip Long, the lyrics speak of a beautiful and powerful force, represented by a woman, that completely overwhelms the singer. At first, he is struck by her "sweet" beauty, but as time goes on she becomes a force that the singer cannot resist. The use of the analogy of a tidal wave is appropriate, as it describes how something small and beautiful can transform into something larger and more powerful that can overcome everyone and everything in its path.

The chorus repeats the lyrics "Tidal wave" in rapid succession, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The singer acknowledges that this force, represented by the woman, has the power to "eliminate" or "capture" them, making them powerless in its wake. However, it is clear that the singer is drawn to this force and is willing to face the potential danger that it brings.

Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of the singer being drawn in by something beautiful and powerful, despite the risk that it brings. The tidal wave, represented by the woman, could be seen as a metaphor for the transformative power of love, which can be both beautiful and dangerous.
