Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chemical is on its way
And my box is packed
Or should I stay? (it's coming)
We can analyze, philosophize
But who's to say
All we know is
We're here today
Look in my eyes
This is just the reason why I stay
I know there are things we shouldn't say
Blame it on the reason why I came
Maybe cause I couldn't feel the
Pain
Fight the fear
Taste the grip
Feel the slip
Shake the soul
Feel the waves
In and out, and in and out, and in and out
Look in my eyes
This is just the reason why I stay
I know there are things we shouldn't say
Blame it on the reason why I came
Maybe cause I couldn't feel the
Pain
Feel the weight wash away
All the mistakes I've made
Living in time on my own
Tearing the soul from bone
Letting the tide suck me in
And chemicals burst in
These are my only friends
Giving me waves until the end
Ooooooh
In "Waves" by Young The Giant, the singer contemplates whether to stay or leave as a metaphorical "chemical" (change or opportunity) approaches. The lyrics suggest that life's uncertainties leave us with only the present moment and our own perspectives, and while we may try to analyze and philosophize, ultimately, we just have to embrace the waves and let life unfold. The singer acknowledges that there are things they shouldn't say or do, but they still stay, perhaps because they couldn't feel the pain of leaving or because they are drawn to the uncertainty of life's waves. The chorus repeats the line "Look in my eyes, this is just the reason why I stay," suggesting a desire to connect with someone and find meaning in the chaos.
Throughout the song, there is a theme of accepting and embracing change, even if it's scary or uncertain. The lyrics mention fighting fear, tasting the grip of the waves, feeling the slip of control, and shaking the soul. Yet, instead of resisting or trying to control the waves, the singer urges listeners to "feel the waves" and let them wash away the mistakes and tear down the soul to build anew. The waves are personified as the singer's only friends, giving them a sense of camaraderie and purpose in the midst of life's uncertainties.

Chemical is on its way
Something powerful and unstoppable is headed my way
And my box is packed
I am ready to leave and start anew
Or should I stay? (it's coming)
I am torn between leaving and facing what's coming
We can analyze, philosophize
We can try to understand and make sense of our situation
But who's to say
However, we may never have all the answers
All we know is
What we do know for sure is
We're here today
That we are alive in this moment
Look in my eyes
Pay close attention to me
This is just the reason why I stay
This is why I choose to remain
I know there are things we shouldn't say
I am aware that there are things we should keep unsaid
Blame it on the reason why I came
I attribute my presence to a particular motive
Maybe cause I couldn't feel the pain
Perhaps because I am numb to the pain anymore
Fight the fear
Confront and overcome the fear within me
Taste the grip
Experience and feel the tight hold on me
Feel the slip
Notice myself gradually losing control
Shake the soul
Rock my innermost being
Feel the waves
Surrender to the emotional turmoil
In and out, and in and out, and in and out
The ebb and flow of the waves
Feel the weight wash away
Experience the relief of my burden being lifted
All the mistakes I've made
All the regrets and errors I've committed
Living in time on my own
Navigating through life by myself
Tearing the soul from bone
Experiencing emotional pain that goes deep to my core
Letting the tide suck me in
Allowing myself to be carried away by the waves of life
And chemicals burst in
Overwhelming emotions flood my system
These are my only friends
These intense emotions are all I have to keep me company
Giving me waves until the end
These emotions will continue to affect me until the end of my life
Ooooooh
