The Tide Is High
The Mighty Diamonds Feat. Mr. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another summer rolls by
And I can't help but feel pain
All those familiar faces
Come back to haunt me again
Whether I hated their guts
Or hardly knew them at all
I always felt far away
Beside them there in the halls

My yearbook keeps me informed
My yearbook keeps me in line
Its an obituary
Gives me a concept of time
We've graduated and grown
From a real world once our own




Yet we have proven them wrong
By dropping off all along

Line by Line Meaning

Another summer rolls by
A new season arrives


And I can't help but feel pain
I experience sadness


All those familiar faces
I see people I recognize


Come back to haunt me again
Their presence is unsettling


Whether I hated their guts
Regardless of my feelings towards them


Or hardly knew them at all
Even if we were acquaintances


I always felt far away
I often felt disconnected


Beside them there in the halls
While we were at school together


My yearbook keeps me informed
I use my yearbook to stay updated


My yearbook keeps me in line
My yearbook helps me stay organized


Its an obituary
It serves as a record of the past


Gives me a concept of time
It helps me understand the passing of time


We've graduated and grown
We've completed our education and matured


From a real world once our own
From a place where we were in control


Yet we have proven them wrong
Despite their doubts, we've succeeded


By dropping off all along
By going our separate ways
