Thepetebox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now you're just a thought that escaped from me
And you made the liar become your alibi
Even though you feel low cause you don't know
That the path that we chose isn't closed
And I'm with you side by side
And you know you,
even love will follow
Your whole mind has made it a special way,
you will share the same glow
You feel like you don't know your special way,
even love will follow
Your whole mind has made it a special way,
you will share the same glow
And you know you,
You feel like you don't know your special way
even love will follow
Your whole mind has made it a special way
you will share the same glow
You feel like you don't know your special way
even love will follow
Your whole mind has made it a special way
you will share the same glow
You feel like you don't know your special way
even love will follow
Your whole mind has made it a special way
you will share the same glow
You feel like you don't know your special way
even love will follow
Your whole mind has made it a special way
you will share the same glow
The lyrics to THePETEBOX’s “Wave” suggest a loss of connection with someone who used to be very close. The song starts with the singer reminiscing on how the person used to “fly this world” for them, indicating that this person used to be a source of support and happiness. However, the next line “now you’re just a thought that escaped from me” shows a disconnection taking place, where the person is no longer a tangible presence. The singer also mentions how this person has become a liar, using an alibi despite feeling low. The singer then reassures the person that the path they’ve chosen is not closed, and that they are still around, “side by side.”
The second half of the song repeats the line “you feel like you don't know your special way, even love will follow,” which seems to suggest that the person is feeling lost and unsure of their own abilities, despite potentially having a lot of love around them. The repetition of this line emphasizes the need for self-discovery and self-acceptance. The final line “you will share the same glow” suggests a positive outcome, where the person will eventually find their way and be able to share their light with others.

You used to fly this world for me,
You were once an important part of my life, but now you're gone.
But now you're just a thought that escaped from me
But now, you're just a fleeting memory that I can't hold on to.
And you made the liar become your alibi
You allowed dishonesty to protect yourself.
Even though you feel low cause you don't know
You're feeling down because you're unsure of what to do next.
That the path that we chose isn't closed
Our journey together isn't over, there's still a chance to make things right.
And I'm with you side by side
I'm here to support you every step of the way.
And you know you,
You understand that,
You feel like you don't know your special way,
You lack confidence in your unique abilities and qualities.
even love will follow
But despite that, love will always be there for you.
Your whole mind has made it a special way,
Your mind has created a unique path for you.
you will share the same glow
And inevitably, you'll radiate the same energy and light as others with similar paths.
You feel like you don't know your special way
You continue to doubt your unique abilities and qualities.
