Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wavves's song To The Dregs are repetitive and straightforward, emphasizing the singer's indifference towards someone who is interested in them. The opening lines encourage the listener to look forward to the sun, suggesting positivity and hope for the future. However, this sentiment is quickly flipped as the singer admits to seeing the other person around, but not caring about their attention. The use of repetition throughout the song reinforces the idea that the singer is uninterested in the other person's advances and that they will never feel the same way.


Overall, To The Dregs is a song that speaks to the complexity of human relationships and the emotions that come with them. The lyrics are simple but effective in conveying the singer's feelings of apathy towards someone who desires their affection. The song also showcases Wavves's signature sound, which fuses garage rock, surf rock, and punk rock influences to create a unique and energetic sound.

One of my favourite Wavves songs. It's just so goddamn raw!

Nicholas Julian

This is incredible, the footage definitely fits in with the song's mood and atmosphere. I truly think this could be an official video for that song. I feel like Nathan Williams would totally dig this. But I could be wrong. I hear people say Nathan's a douche but they're mostly basing that on his meltdown at Primavera '09, and remember he's like 22 or 23 and was thrust into the indie spotlight practically overnight, and plus he was on a combination of ecstasy, Xanax, Valium, and alchohol I think.

Every person I show this song hates it... I love it so much
