Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got issues, out of line
Sayin' tomorrow I'll do the dishes
Never come
Easy bake, easy wake, oven
Just give as much as you take
Forgive as much as you hate
Or get the fuck out
I've been in the dugout (dugout)
Lookin' for a way out (way out)
You know just takin' it slow (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm feeling worn out (worn out)
Lookin' for a way out (way out)
Somebody show me the door (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was wavy
I've been waitin' for you, boy
And I was drownin'
I went crazy
I've been goin' crazy, boy
I found out, this the the way out
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy
You know just takin' it slow
(Oh, yeah, yeah) babe (yeah)
Somebody show me the door
(Oh, yeah, yeah) babe (yeah)
You know just takin' it slow, babe
Somebody show me the ropes, babe
The lyrics of SZA James Fauntleroy's song "Wavy" is about feeling conflicted and struggling with oneself. The artist is voicing out that they believe they are a difficult person with a lot of issues to deal with, and at times it feels overwhelming. There is a constant tug of war between the singer's actions and their thoughts, as they explain how they are supposed to do things like the dishes tomorrow, but it never happens. The singer goes on to acknowledge that balance is necessary in life, and one cannot always take more than they give. The importance of forgiveness is also highlighted, but with a warning to those who refuse to forgive, they need to leave.
The chorus in the song starts with a reflection of how the singer has been in a miserable state, "drowning" and "going crazy." They explain how they've been in a "dugout" and looking for a way or solution out, somebody, to show them the door. However, despite these struggles, the singer has found a way to be at peace with themselves, becoming "wavy." They are taking things slow, and someone is showing them the ropes of how to navigate the storms of life.
In summary, "Wavy" is a song about being conflicted and struggling with oneself. It highlights the importance of balance in life, the need to forgive, and the ultimate goal of finding a peaceful state of being.
