Waves
Wolves and the Radio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fossil in the ground
A rippling airless breeze
The ghost of you and me
Escaping from the dare tonight
Not if I find you over London town
Save it for your baby
Not if I find you over London town
I lay beside you
Building and breaking new
The pressure in my chest
Is soaking up the mess
Escaping from the dare tonight
Not if I find you over London town
Save it for your baby
Cry me right
Oh live like you do for sale
Need you follow your time your right
Oh live like you do your waste
Your waste
Not if i find you over London town
A love that last
Waves of my past
Up north is where we belong
Whispering alley songs
Escaping from the dare tonight
Not if I find you over London town
Save it for your baby
Not if I find you over London town
Save it for your baby
Not if I find you over London town
The lyrics of "Waves" by Wolves and the Radio seem to revolve around themes of escape, longing, and the complex nature of relationships.
In the first verse, the singer expresses a sense of saving someone or something that is buried like a fossil, creating a ghostly presence of their past connection. There is a desire to escape from a certain situation or challenge, symbolized by the dare, but the singer warns that if they find the person they are addressing over London town, they should save their excuses for someone else.
The second verse delves deeper into the relationship dynamic, with the singer laying beside the person they are addressing. The singer mentions the pressure in their chest, which could refer to the emotional weight or burden they feel due to the unresolved issues in their relationship. Despite this, the singer still longs for the person they are addressing, expressing a sense of new beginnings mixed with the messiness of their past.
The chorus of the song suggests a plea, a cry to be acknowledged and understood, to live authentically and not waste their time on superficial or meaningless pursuits. There is a hope that the person they are addressing will follow their own path and make the most of their life.
As the song progresses, there is a mention of a love that lasts, symbolized by waves of the past. This could imply a nostalgia for a simpler time or a sense of longing for a deeper connection. The reference to the north as a place where they belong and the whispering alley songs create a romantic and mysterious image, further emphasizing the desire to escape and find solace in a different environment.
Ultimately, the lyrics convey a complex mix of emotions, including love, longing, escape, and the struggle to reconcile the past with the present. The repeated refrain of saving it for their baby suggests a desire for honesty and authenticity in their relationship, and a need for the person they are addressing to truly confront their feelings rather than running away or hiding behind excuses.
