Dive
Tim Atlas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something in the air
But it's difficult to share
So i initiate a little stare
Oh my words are not prepared
To tell you
T-t-tell you that I
Need a little piece of your time
Cause I'm jumping off the edge of your mind
Don't ask me just fly high
Into another place where we
Can slide into an ecstasy
Where the tempo's riding underneath
Where we think that we should be
F-f-follow me
Don't care
If your hair is everywhere
When you can calculate the air
You're naive and unaware
That i'm tryna tell you
Tryna tell you that I
Need a little piece of your time
Cause I'm jumping off the edge of your mind
Don't ask me just fly high
Into another place where we
Can slide into an ecstasy
Where the tempo's riding underneath
Where we think that we should be
F-f-follow me
Turn it up till eleven
Scared straight sitting at a comfy cell and
Drop the ball
And celebrate it
We all know that love is crazy
I'm telling you that I
Need a little piece of your time
Cause I'm jumping at the edge of your mind
Don't ask me just fly high
Into another place where we
Can slide into an ecstasy
Where the tempo's riding underneath
Where we think that we should be
F-f-follow me

Overall Meaning

The song "Dive in" by Tim Atlas is all about seizing the moment and taking risks. The first stanza communicates the nervousness and excitement that come when we are attracted to someone but unsure of how they will respond. The singer initiates "a little stare" because words can't seem to express the emotions they feel. They are attempting to communicate their own vulnerability and desire for a deeper connection. The second stanza repeats this desire, using imagery of jumping off the edge of your mind and flying high.


As the song progresses, Atlas continues to use a sense of urgency to communicate the importance of making the most of every moment. He encourages us to turn up the volume and to celebrate moments of love because it is ultimately what makes life feel meaningful. Overall, the song encourages listeners to take risks, to not be afraid of vulnerability, and to "dive in" to life.

Do you think we are rare or special to like this kinda music? Why isn't such a beautiful song more popular? Does it have something to do with our personalities?

It's so crazy, I just found out about this song. But its crazy to think that this song is about a guy trying to confess his feelings to a girl and musters up the courage to do so in his mind first and then when they look at each other, she's like I know what this is about, and he's like no and proceeds to tell her what was in his mind

@deezyasf142

I really enjoyed the story tim Atlas was presenting

@iznotokay9436

This was released on my birthday, it must be a sign
