Catch
blake and jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day brings me something new
A life of healing and a sense of you
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
It reminds me of the day I was born
The day I first laid eyes on you
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
And when I fall in love
I'll take your smile as my notion
And when I see your face
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
I still love you
Catch a wave and you're feeling high
Well, how much higher can you get from me
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
Like a rope I am torn and bound
An undeniable hope I've found
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
And when I fall in love
I'll take your smile as my notion
And when I see your face
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
I still love you
What would I do
If I can't be with you
And all my life is found in you
I'll catch a wave by the ocean
And when I fall in love
I'll take your smile as my notion
And when I see your face
I'll be your dying devotion




And when my love is found
I'll catch a wave by the ocean

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blake and Jones's song Catch are quite cryptic, but they seem to express a sense of hesitation or suspicion in a romantic relationship. The repeated refrain "Where's the catch?" suggests that the singer is wary of something hidden or undisclosed in the relationship, even though everything seems "rose" or perfect. The song has a dreamy and ethereal quality, with lines like "Everything's ghost now" and "All of a sudden, it's falling, it's over though" adding to the sense of uncertainty and impermanence.


In the verses, the lyrics become even more surreal and symbolic, touching on themes of confinement, dizziness, disillusionment, and regeneration. It's not entirely clear how these images relate to the main message of the song, but they add to the enigmatic and poetic atmosphere of the music. The last line, "There must be a catch," is delivered in a distorted, robotic voice, underscoring the sense of artificiality or performance in the relationship.

Can’t believe I finally found this song again! I remember listening to this song on repeat a decade ago. And that video used to scare me as a kid.

Wychowywałem się przy takich klimatach własnie... ! lata 2006-2007 bardzo miło wsponinam te czasy, szkoda, że już dzisiaj takiej muzyki nikt nie tworzy ... :(

@mandybedevere

AMEN!
Może dla tego, że czasy się zmieniają i my nie do końca przyswajamy nowinki i zaczynamy mówić: KIEDYŚ TO BYŁO, albo może poprostu tak jest.
Dla mnie dobre czasy we wszsytkim skończyły się po 2015 roku. Jak dla mnie to był końcowy rok . Ostatecznie 2017 i już nic poza tym... Może pojedyncze rzeczy, ale już nic hurtem...

Cudo. Teraz tworzą same dziadostwo, ale na szczęście ciągle możemy wracać do takich hiciorów. ❤
