When Will You Come
Wavves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When will you come?
When will you come?
Come!
Come!
Sun, we whistle at the breeze!
Sun, we whistle at the breeze!
Sun, we're sicker than we seem!
Sun, we whistle at the sea!
Sun, we whistle, now we're sick!
Sun, we whistle at the breeze!
Sun, we're sicker than we seem!
The lyrics to "When Will You Come" by Wavves are a repetition of the phrase "Sun, when will you come?". This reflects the desire to escape from the current gloomy state of mind the singer is in. They ask the sun when it will come as if they're seeking for a change in their life, a moment of hope to shine upon them. The repetition shows how the singer is in a cycle of negativity that they're grasping to break free from. The next verse "Come! Come!" is a plea, as if trying to make the sun come, because they need its light to escape their sadness. The repetition of this line creates a sense of desperation and frustration that the singer wants to be free from their current state.
The next few lines "Sun, we whistle at the breeze! Sun, we're sicker than we seem!" shows the singer grasping at things that give them a sense of peace but that are ultimately detrimental to their well-being. Whistling at the breeze is a symbol of finding the small things in life to cling to for joy but the second line "we're sicker than we seem" highlights the fact that there is an undercurrent of sadness hidden beneath the surface. The next two verses "Sun, we whistle at the sea! Sun, we whistle, now we're sick! Sun, we whistle at the breeze! Sun, we're sicker than we seem!" continue this theme of finding temporary relief in the small things in life but ultimately remaining trapped in their cycle of sadness.
Overall, "When Will You Come" is a complex look into the singer's emotional state. It showcases how the cycle of negative emotions can be hard to break free from, and how the little things in life can serve as a temporary escape but ultimately not serve as a permanent solution.
