Rising Tide
Walla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its name isn't scary and ways are not bad, but its got a thing with its seventh step dad
Get lost in place, It can't find the way, Skin in outerspace
And when you go, all you know, is the flow
Rising tide, with no eyes, and everybodys lovin' so get in line
Its made out of leather and breathes heaps of gold, it smiles when angry and cries when its cold
But what does it love when it knows what it need? Who really cares when its just company
Get lost in place, It can't find the way, Skin in outerspace
Rising tide, with no eyes, and everybodys lovin' so get in line
Rising tide, with no eyes, and everybodys lovin' so get in line
The lyrics of Walla's song "Rising Tide" are a bit cryptic and can be interpreted in different ways. The song appears to be describing a mysterious, possibly supernatural entity that has some strange characteristics. The singer notes that "something is wrong with the back of its head" and that it takes its time as they try to decipher what it's saying. Despite not being scary, it seems to have a complicated relationship with its "seventh step dad" that is not fully explained.
The second verse of the song describes a "thing" that is made out of leather and "breathes heaps of gold." It can smile when angry and cry when cold, but it's unclear who or what it loves. The lyrics suggest that it may just be seeking companionship, but even that is unclear. The chorus repeats the phrase "rising tide" with no eyes, suggesting a force that is both powerful and inscrutable. The final line, "everybody's lovin' so get in line," could be interpreted as a warning about giving in to blindly following popular trends or ideas without questioning them.
Line by Line Meaning
Something is wrong with the back of its head, taking its time as you frame what it said

The subject has a neutral name and personality, but has had issues with its seventh step father.
Get lost in place, It can't find the way, Skin in outerspace
The subject is lost and disoriented and seems to be in an unfamiliar place.
And when you go, all you know, is the flow

Rising tide, with no eyes, and everybodys lovin' so get in line
The subject, which appears to be a powerful and well-liked presence, is compared to a rising tide with no discernible direction, and everyone wants to be a part of it.
Its made out of leather and breathes heaps of gold, it smiles when angry and cries when its cold
The subject is described in terms of contradictions and incongruities, such as being made of leather and exhaling gold, smiling when angry, and crying when cold.
But what does it love when it knows what it need? Who really cares when its just company
While the subject may know what it wants or needs, it is unclear what it truly loves. Additionally, it may only be valued by others as a companion, rather than for any inherent worth.
