Big Wave
Worst party ever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I left you waiting on the weekend
I'm sad, that you're sad
What's new? You're dropping out of college;
I'm pissed I wish you were an honest man
I'm confined to sheds with artificial light
I can see you anywhere I look
The world can't stay the same you're not a book
Life sucks you sounded disappointed;
So you packed left town to Oregon
I'm sad, that you're sad
Thought I saw you sleeping at a bus stop
But I wiped my eyes and you're not there

In the first verse, the singer mentions that the friend doesn't want to be friends anymore, and they left them waiting on the weekend. The singer expresses their sadness about the situation, and how they wish their friend were more honest. It seems like they're talking about a one-sided relationship where one person is not as invested as the other, leaving the other person feeling abandoned and hurt.
The second verse continues to talk about their relationship, with the singer being confined in sheds with artificial light, feeling trapped and unable to escape the memories of their lost friend.
