Only In Your Heart
Wave in Head Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You seem to be awake
How you move and talk and pretend
But little things you make
Seem to show you´re not - your feet stand

In your own world

Thinking leads to war:
Dream against the every day life
So your thoughts are far,
Far away within your own light,

In your own world

You´re longing for the day
To begin the way you want it
But you wipe away
All the grey as long as you live

In your own world





Only in your heart it feels like real

Overall Meaning

The song "Only in Your Heart" by Wave in Head describes a person who seems to be awake and functioning in the world, but their actions and thoughts suggest that they are not fully present. The lyrics mention how little things the person does seem to reveal that they are lost in their own world, far away from reality. The song suggests that the person is constantly thinking and dreaming, which leads to conflict with everyday life. Their thoughts are so far away that they live in their own light, in their own world.


The lyrics also suggest that the person longs for the day when they can begin the way they want it, but they wipe away all the grey in their life. This could indicate that the person is trying to escape from the mundanity of everyday life and live a life that is more exciting and fulfilling. Ultimately, the song suggests that this person's reality is only in their heart, and that they are distant from the world around them.


Line by Line Meaning

You seem to be awake
I see that you are active and present in the physical realm, but there is something that does not seem quite awake about your true self.


How you move and talk and pretend
Your actions and words feel inauthentic, as if you are pretending to be someone else or hiding something about yourself.


But little things you make
The small details and actions you take reveal the truth about how you are feeling and what you are truly thinking.


Seem to show you´re not - your feet stand
Even though you may try to conceal your emotions, your body language still gives you away and signals that you are not fully present or engaged.


In your own world
You create a mental space that is separate from reality, where you can retreat and focus on your own thoughts and ideas.


Thinking leads to war:
Overthinking and obsessing over your thoughts and fears can create a conflict within your mind and become mentally exhausting.


Dream against the every day life
Your aspirations and desires clash with the limitations and routines of your normal, mundane life.


So your thoughts are far,
Your mind wanders away from reality and into a fantasy world that fulfills your deepest wishes and desires.


Far away within your own light,
You create a personal realm of light and positivity, where you can escape from darkness and negativity in the outside world.


You´re longing for the day
You yearn for a future where you have the freedom to live your life on your own terms and fulfill your dreams.


To begin the way you want it
You want to start your day and your life in a way that aligns with your personal goals and values, not someone else's.


But you wipe away
You try to erase or ignore anything that brings negativity or conflict into your life, so you can maintain your happy, positive state of mind.


All the grey as long as you live
You want to eliminate anything that is unpleasant, dull or uninspiring, and fill your life with vibrant colors and emotions that make you feel alive.


Only in your heart it feels like real
Even though your dreams and desires may seem impossible or unrealistic to others, they feel real and meaningful to you, and they give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Yelling at the sky
Screaming at the world
Baby, why'd you go away?
I'm still your girl
Holding on too tight
Head up in the clouds
Heaven only knows
Where you are now

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most

I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost

Never got the chance
To say a last goodbye
I gotta move on
But it hurts to try

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most
I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost

How do I love
How do I love again?
How do I trust
How do I trust again?

I stay up all night
Tell myself I'm alright
Baby, you're just harder to see than most
I put the record on
Wait 'til I hear our song
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost
Every night I'm dancing with your ghost



@oogaboogas69

everyone’s talking about how this song reminds them of their significant others and i’m just here imagining my younger self dancing with me.

spinning around in a disney princess dress and making flower crowns for no one in particular; running around and shrieking as if it’s the last day on earth

everything was so simple back then: no obsessive eating habits, no feeling devoid of emotions, no depressive episodes ending with more harm than necessary, just, happy.

i would kill to feel that way again,

to finally feel free
