Tiger Waves know the tyranny of distance, and they seemed to have tamed it for their purposes. In the spring of 2011, the foundation was laid online between two songwriters—James Marshall in Austin, Reid Comstock in Chicago, and within the year bandmates Tyler Wharen and Joshua Kerl joined the gang.
Tiger Waves is a band born of dropboxes, email attachments and CD-Rs and while the two principal songwriters living 1,000 miles apart, it isn’t surprising that the music took on the expanses of the information highway during it’s travels back and forth between the city of Big Shoulders and the Live Music Capital of the World. The tunes have no blank spots or rests but instead expand and contract in a thrilling, enchanting pulse with Reid Comstock’s whispers and strained notes cutting through the mix like a depressed, Beach Boys cast-off in the middle of a hyperactive beach party.
The music, however, isn’t necessarily the cold, detached product of kids with MacBooks. It sounds more like a bit of cosmic sunshine-pop-flavored zeitgeist made by music fans with some digital constraints and liberties.
Weekends
Tiger Waves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
touch the skin on your neck and make you shiver
on and on and on and on and honestly (honestly)
I want to just take you far away from here
and build a house in the forest
out beneath the waves of trees that cover you
The thing that brings you down is what you're scared to tell me
so you're only really living on the weekends
you made a mess of the situation
cause you always make a mess of every situation
and I care too much about the shit you say
but the thing that brings you own is what you're scared to tell me
and I made a mess of the situation
cause I always make a mess of every situation
I want to know why you get frightened
at the thought of moving back to Chicago
It's the city of lights that call me home but honestly(honesty)
I might just take you far away from here
this time i'll keep all my accomplices
out beneath the waves of snow that will cover you
But you always want to be with your best friends
so you're only really living on the weekends
you made a mess of the situation
cause you always make a mess of every situation
and I care too much about the shit you say
but the thing that brings you own is what you're scared to tell me
and I made a mess of the situation
cause I always make a mess of every situation
But you always want to be with your best friends
so you're only really living on the weekends
you made a mess of the situation
cause you always make a mess of every situation
and I care too much about the shit you say
but the thing that brings you own is what you're scared to tell me
and I made a mess of the situation
cause I always make a mess of every situation
The lyrics of Tiger Waves’s song Weekends is about a relationship that is not working out because of the difference in priorities between the two people involved. The singer expresses his desire to be with his partner and take her away from their current situation, but she is more focused on hanging out with her best friends on the weekends. The singer seems to understand her need for socializing but also wants her to be with him more. He acknowledges that they have both made mistakes in the relationship, but it seems that their differing desires are the root of their issues.
The opening lines of the song, "I want to be your favorite lover, touch the skin on your neck and make you shiver," set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. They communicate the singer's longing for intimacy and connection with his partner. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this connection is difficult to achieve due to their conflicting desires.
The line "But you always want to be with your best friends, so you're only really living on the weekends" highlights the tension in the relationship. The singer seems to be expressing his desire for more commitment and involvement from his partner, but she is more interested in spending time with her friends.
The theme of making a mess of situations is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the fact that both parties are responsible for the current state of their relationship. However, the root cause of their issues seems to be a difference in priorities that they are struggling to reconcile.
