King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard's touring band. They toured for almost a year straight until Hayes left the band for some time off. Jacob Cooper, former drummer of The Mae Shi, has since taken his place. After playing the major festival circuit, Nathan started his own record label Ghost Ramp and released the Life Sux EP on September 20th 2011.
On March 26, 2013 Wavves released their 4th studio album "Afraid of Heights" on Mom + Pop records. Jacob Cooper left the band in 2013. Brian Hill (The Soft Pack/The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower) began playing drums soon after.
Wavves' fifth album entitled "V" was released on October 2, 2015 through Ghost Ramp and Warner Bros. Records.
Demon to Lean On
Wavves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And think of what we had
Ambivalent and young
We're probably just dumb
The truth is that it hurts
And what's it really worth?
No hope and no future
Holding a gun to my head
So send me an angel
Or bury me deeply instead
With demons to lean on
In the sky, it's never coming back
No hope and no future
We'll die the same loser
Holding a gun to my head
So send me an angel
Or bury me deeply instead
With demons to lean on
Numb from it all
Not at all, at all, at all, at all
Numb from it all
Not at all, at all, at all, at all, at all
Holding a gun to my head
So send me an angel
Or bury me deeply instead
With demons to lean on
Holding a gun to my head
So send me an angel
Or bury me deeply instead
With demons to lean on
Holding a gun to my head
Holding a gun to my head
Holding a gun to my head
With demons to lean on
The opening lines of Wavvesβs song βDemon To Lean Onβ suggest a sense of aimlessness or uncertainty about the future. The singer is walking with someone, βpacing along the grass,β and reflecting on what theyβve had. Though theyβre βyoungβ and perhaps not fully sure of their own feelings, the singer suggests that there is something unsatisfying or incomplete about their relationship.
As the song progresses, the sense of despair or hopelessness deepens. The singer suggests that there is βno hope and no futureβ, and that they are resigned to their fate. The lines βIn the sky, itβs never coming back / No hope and no future / Weβll die the same loserβ suggest that there was once a possibility of redemption or salvation, but that it has slipped through their fingers.
The closing lines of the song, in which the singer holds a gun to their head and asks for either an angel or a burial with demons, suggest a deep ambivalence about the nature of life and death. Whether itβs hopelessness or despair or something else entirely, these lyrics convey a sense of profound pain and sadness.
