New Wave
Varsity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You like new wave
All the time.
I don't mind,
I don't mind.
You like whatever I like.
I don't mind,
I don't mind.
You've got a question but,
I'm never gonna tell you what it is
You're a debater on the line
Line

You like waiting on my time.
I don't mind,
I don't mind.
You like pretending we're fine.
I don't mind,
I don't mind.

You've got a question but,
I'm never gonna tell you what it is
You're a debater on the line
I've got the answer, but I bet I'm never gonna dare to let you in.
You're an invader on my mind
Mind

Can't you recognize that you're not satisfied?
My affection is tearing you down
Don't you realize that you guys realize apart of me that can't even touch the ground (?)
That's my objection
To being your obsession
I can't look at the marble behind your eyes





Eyes...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "New Wave" by Varsity are about a person who is obsessed with their significant other. The first stanza talks about the two individuals liking the same music but the singer doesn't mind. The next stanzas, however, reveal the darker side of the relationship. The obsessed person always has a question but never reveals it. They are also always waiting for the singer and pretending that everything is fine. The line "You're an invader on my mind" shows the singer's feeling of being overwhelmed and trapped by the person's obsession.


In the bridge, the singer confronts the obsessed person, telling them that their affection is "tearing you down" and that they are not satisfied. The singer also acknowledges that they cannot fulfill the obsessed person's desires and that their obsession is harmful. The line "I can't look at the marble behind your eyes" suggests that the obsessed person is too perfect or too distant from reality, and the singer cannot handle the pressure.

Idk if these are 100% right, I was just listening to it and I wrote down the lyrics. I also had to watch the live version to hear the lyrics from that one as well, cuz I thought it'd be a good idea to listen to a live and studio version.

EDIT: I've made some corrections and I'm confident that these are the lyrics and they're pretty accurate.
