Off My Wave
Urma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never wanted you to save me...
Keep your hands away
Let me with my faith
Keep your angels straight off my wave
So now, you're in here....trying to save
Remains of those days we once shared
`Cause I'll never change
Never crossed your path...always n my track
Never searched in you the feelings...
Keep your hands away
Let me with my faith
Keep your angels straight off my wave
So now, you're in here....trying to save
Remains of those days we once shared
You seek through my eyes....feel it's all gone
`Cause I'll never change
In "Off My Wave," Urma sings about a person who has come into her life, trying to save or fix something that she feels doesn't need fixing. From the start of the song, Urma makes it clear that this person has never been important to her and that she has never relied on them for help. She tells them to keep their hands away and let her handle things on her own, with her own faith guiding her. She specifically asks them to keep their angels off her wave, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for wanting to keep their interference and influence out of her life.
The second verse of the song adds more detail, as Urma sings that the person trying to save her has always been there but has never been a significant part of her life. She hasn't invested in their relationship and hasn't sought out emotional connection from them. Despite this lack of connection, the person is now trying to fix things that Urma doesn't believe are broken, leading her to push back against their efforts.
Overall, "Off My Wave" is a song about a person who values their independence and inner guidance, and who is resistant to outside influence from someone who hasn't been a significant part of their life. The lyrics express frustration at the other person's persistence and the feeling of being misunderstood or judged by them.
