The Firebird Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's in the fashion you feign
and you say
it doesn't matter anyway
the city at night is alright
when you close your eyes it's alright
when you close your eyes tonight
do you feel just right
take me to the next wave x2
I know
it's in the fashion you craqve
you say
it just doesn't matter
I'm drowning in this
it's shaking my body
it keeps me awake oh it makes me shake
it's a drug I can't take
the city at night is alright
when you close your eyes
it's alright
when you close your eyes tonight
do you feel alright
take me to the next wave x2
I know it's the fashion you rave
you say
it doesn't matter anyway
a contstant reminder (a new love)
a constant divider new blood
another outsider (a sign from above)
to take you higher
take me to the next wave
I see all the things you try to hide
plastic lies and made up eyes
another innuendo
another false crescendo
another innuendo
another false crescendo
to take you higher
I know
it's in the fashion you feign
and you say
it just doesn't matter
the city at night is alright
when you close your eyes it's alright
when you close your eyes tonight
do you feel just right
take me to the next wave take me to the next wave…
The Firebird Band's "Next Wave" seems to be a song about indulgence and escapism. The lyrics speak to the idea that people are willing to indulge in certain things, whether they be drugs or fashion, even if they don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. The city at night represents the idea of the hedonistic lifestyle, where people can indulge in whatever they want and forget about their problems - or at least pretend they don't exist. The repeated line "take me to the next wave" seems to be a plea for something more, to be taken away to the next level of this hedonistic lifestyle.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that this lifestyle might not be sustainable, as the singer is "drowning" in it, and it's "shaking [their] body". But still, they can't help but be drawn to it, even if it leaves them feeling unstable. The song seems to be a commentary on the nature of addiction and how it can be all-consuming, even if it ultimately leads to destruction.
