Tiger
The Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sustained by your filmsy gains
You can't blame the world for your shame
Down to earth is an adjectival-excuse
For your void
You're tired to feel alone
In a life you choose from the start
You didn't know this because
No one's here to make you safe
Blame whoever has your faith
We are here to rise and grind
We won't wait until we die
Live your life against the prison you build
You can choose to run away if you want
Life will chase you anyway till you're gone
Till you're dead and gone
Gone
Sustained but you're falling down
Already at the second round
You treated me like I'm a fucking dumb
But I know that you didn't choose to stand tall
No one's here to make you safe
Blame whoever has your faith
We are here to rise and grind
We won't wait until we die
Live your life against the prison you build
You can choose to run away if you want
Life will chase you anyway till you're gone
Until you are gone
Till you are dead and gone
Until you are gone
Until
You are
Dead and gone
I hope that when you'll be dead
You will stop talking too much
Bla bla bla blathering things
Over the others' thoughts
I'm tired to hear your shit
Frustrated hypocrite
Don't worry I'll be fine
Even without your advice
No one's here to make you safe
Blame whoever has your faith
We are here to rise and grind
We won't wait until we die
Live your life against the prison you build
You can choose to run away if you want
Life will chase you anyway till you're gone
Until you're gone

You treated me like I'm a fucking dumb
You interacted with me disrespectfully, assuming I am foolish
But I know that you didn't choose to stand tall
However, I understand that you did not deliberately opt to demonstrate strength or resilience
I hope that when you'll be dead
I possess a desire that when you pass away
You will stop talking too much

Bla bla bla blathering things
Mere nonsensical and repetitive speech
Over the others' thoughts
Dominating and disregarding the perspectives of others
I'm tired to hear your shit
I am exhausted from listening to your nonsense
Frustrated hypocrite
A person who is both disheartened and contradictory in their beliefs
Don't worry I'll be fine
Do not concern yourself, I will manage well
Even without your advice
Even in the absence of your guidance or suggestions
Until you're gone
Until you are no longer present
